Appearance: A slender but maturing girl whose expression is usually presented as stoic in front of others, Clarissa has long light-purple hair and a pair of piercing purple eyes in turn to match. Outside of the public eye she can be found to smile more often around her Buneary and family, her smile can be seen to be generally small but rather distinct looking compared to her ‘usual’ self. She has a braid on the left side of her head that is secured with a purple ribbon, given to her by her grandmother, and generally keeps it on her person at all times. As well. In terms of height she is 5’8”, and her weight is 132 pounds.

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Personality: A person whose psychic powers put a strain on her from a young age, pushing her to learn to control them as well as learn to restrain herself to an extent that has shaped her personally. What became the end result was someone who outwardly enforces a well-trained stoic expression on her face, a true ‘poker face’, who might be mistaken as ‘unfeeling’ in the process. Yet despite rarely showing outward expressions of emotion in a public setting at all, behind closed doors and with loved ones and friends and trusted confidants she is more comfortable letting herself express what she is feeling. Indeed, especially since her powers began developing and she began to train with them Clarissa can be an empathetic and kind person indeed….though this, due to her powers, can be both a good thing as well as a burden that wears on her mentally to boot. Generally she will try to be polite to others, though growing up in Orre she was raised to always keep an eye out on and an ear open to the world around her respectively. This mindset of awareness has been drilled in such that to her it's as natural as breathing air, as well as becoming a personal habit in the vein of drilling herself in trying to maintain a sense of self-restraint.

Beyond this, she does have a general ‘spark’ of curiosity in her that drives her to want to learn about things or look into them. The sort of mindset someone like a field researcher or archaeologist or such might enjoy, or perhaps even befitting of a scientist like her father at that. So despite her ‘strong self-restraint’ in the personal sense, she is more liable to poke her head into something that catches her eye well enough than not depending on the particular situation and case in which something does so. In that vein, getting to be paid and looking into things in her new region of residence is certainly a bonus in her mind.

Trainer Class: Wanderer

Hometown: Pyrite Town, Orre Region

Background: Clarissa Ryte was born to Milo Ryte, a man working at the Pokemon HQ Lab in Orre but whose family lived back in The Under before it was lost, and a mother who had come from Agate Village and met her father in Pyrite Town while visiting to look for different herbs across Orre. Despite living in a version of Pyrite Town that didn’t have CIPHER involved, Clarissa was raised to be aware and wary of the sketchy types and rougher sorts that still definitely called Orre home locally and otherwise. It was a life lived always keeping one eye open, and taking occasional trips to visit her maternal grandmother in Agate Village or paternal grandparents who had moved to Phenac a few times a year. There were also many times she went to watch Colosseum fights and such at Pyrite Colosseum with her mother and/or father, being both a way to get entertainment locally as well as get to see more Pokemon outside of the battles held in Duel Square. On occasion she’d stop by the local fortune teller with her mother, perhaps, or watch TV to see whatever shows were on or whatever the ONBS was saying in the latest news stories.

Living in the Orre Region, she wasn’t exposed to a Pokemon-rich region and most often saw them when it came to watching Pokemon battles or people going about with their own Pokemon. The region itself was, after all, a notable wasteland without much in it to sustain Pokemon save for three curious areas called Pokespots where some ‘native’ pokemon had begun to appear and live in. With her father involved in helping the Pokemon HQ Lab in leading the legal and non-criminal importation of Pokemon to Orre, he would also on infrequent occasions get to go to Gateon Port and bring her back some kind of souvenir or trinkets the ships had picked up from some other far-away region. Beyond this, however, her father was often gone due to work most of the time and her mother was the one who was most at home.

At the age of five, however, a young Clarissa would find herself suddenly struck with what seemed like a debilitating condition that made her collapse in the middle of town as she went shopping with her mother. She kept mumbling about voices in her head and feeling all sorts of things even after she would wake up later, but after getting medically checked up the doctors could not find out what was wrong…until she started talking about things they’d been only ever thinking about and never said aloud. Eventually it would be confirmed that she’d begun to develop psychic powers of some sort, which in turn would lead to an attempt to grasp the situation by her parents as they tried to find out how to assist her. It wasn’t exactly an easy thing to raise a child with actual ESP in a region without so much as a school for such things.

Where the most help would end up coming from, though, would be Clarissa’s grandmother and the peaceful serenity that was Agate Town. With herbs to help the frequent headaches a younger Clarissa would get from her powers, and training to try to restrain and control herself as well as tapping into some old contacts from her trainer days who had such powers to come help, Clarissa’s grandmother would help her and even take her on walks to see the Celibi-honoring Relic Stone the village held so dear. It was also here that something of an event would help spark her curiosity to become a trainer would truly occur, back when a twelve year old Clarissa would suddenly wake up in the middle of the night after yet another day of training with a friend of her grandmother.

Feeling drawn to somewhere, the girl would wander to the Relic Stone and see it letting off little sparks of green light…like fireflies even. Yet she could feel a presence there, flitting about around her. Watching her, even, curious and yet keeping its distance. As the girl reached out to touch the Relic Stone, running a hand gently down it, the presence would suddenly appear behind her. Despite falling to the ground from the sudden spook, the younger girl was shocked to see the legendary pokemon Celebi staring right back at her as it flew lower to the ground to get a better look at her. For a moment, the girl would reach up hesitantly, with the smaller legendary pokemon reaching back to touch her hand in turn, before eventually moving back and disappearing as quickly as it had arrived again in a small flash of light.

Upon telling her grandmother, and her dirty pajamas telling some evidence of the encounter as she wandered back out of the Relic Forest in the early morning hours, it was certainly an event that struck her grandmother as unique. Of it she was told that it was ‘a blessing, a sign that [she was] meant for something great’, though the impression of it all left a sense of wonder in the girl that didn’t seem to fully fade away even as she got older.

Indeed, as she got older, and more of a handle on herself and her powers, Clarissa would become more as she has become by current times. Restrained. Reserved. Putting up a wall and a front to help her create a basis for controlling herself. Etc. It didn’t make her many potential local friends, though, but eventually to try to cheer her up she went with her father and mother to one of his visits to Gateon Port. Supposedly a new shipment of Pokemon had arrived, and he hoped to get her a pokemon of her own to keep her company. Only just having turned fourteen at the time, Clarissa came along with her parents hoping that having a pokemon would help her learn to better express herself. It would also be at this time that Clarissa would, as they walked by the Machine Shop, be struck with the feelings of something that was…suffering. It was in pain. It wanted to live. It felt….alone. All of these were something that felt, even if for a moment, all too familiar to how she’d felt all those years ago.

Without batting an eye the girl darted away down a side alley, her parents in very worried and hot pursuit, only for her to find a Buneary that seemed wounded and starving for food. It was weak, and only getting weaker, and as she took it up into her arms it seemed to look slowly up at her in the process. It was after this that Clarissa’s parents, as they arrived and watched her turn around with this hurt pokemon in her arms, would later look back on as the ‘moment that [they] realized there was some kind of connection she had to this little, injured pokemon from afar’. Clarissa would ask to bring home the little Buneary, after her and her parents raced it get it to a Pokemon Center in time, and then help care for and bring the little Buneary back to health the rest of the way after taking it to the nearest Pokemon Center in a hurry, and would want to bring it home afterward.

From here, it was a year of bonding and growing with her new Buneary that seemed to bring them both out of a ‘funk’ they had each been in. Allowed them to see more of how each other was, coming out of their shells, and ultimately leading to her Buneary getting a nickname from her and entering a Pokeball as she decided she wanted to become a proper Pokemon Trainer. Soon after this, however, Clarissa’s father would find a change in jobs and her parents would move along with her to Grand Glory City in the Evig Region so her father could work a new position he’d been hired on for at a certain Professor’s lab. Plus moving to a generally safer region, one full of many more Pokemon, was something that Clarissa’s parents felt would be healthier for her than reaching adulthood in Orre.

And so they moved to the city, and her father took up work at a different Pokemon lab and began his work there. As for Clarissa, however, it was….still going to be an adjustment. But she had her beloved Buneary with her, and he had his beloved trainer in turn. Fast-forward another year later, and her father would bring her to work one day upon request of his boss. It was here the girl was talked to for a bit by the Professor, before eventually being made the offer to take up a Pokedex and go out into the Evig Region! It was something that would enable the start of her own ambition to become a trainer, it would help her better familiarize herself with her new home, and, well it was an opportunity that she and a certain Buneary could seize with their own two hands! What could go wrong?

Kind of Pokémon you like: Pokemon she can empathize with, or form some sort of bond or connection to. Ones that in perhaps some way can be or are relatable to her and, yet individuals of their own who can grow alongside her and vice-versa of course. That is what matters most in the end for her.

Yet one cannot deny either that she seems drawn more toward little ‘oddities’ of Pokemon as well, whether common ones or uncommon ones alike, with a personality that seem out of the way or are ‘outcasts’ or that can be found in little holes in the wall or cast-out places in a sense. Things like her Buneary that made his way far from home on its own adventure, coming from far away, or a Murkrow or some peculiar ghost type like a Mimikyu that lives out of an abandoned factory in the ramshackle part of town and the shadows. Things like an ancient Pokemon brought back from a fossil from long ago, such as a Lilleep or Kabuto, a mischievous prankster of a personality who enjoys a bit of fun here but for whom such a personality might seem a bit ‘out of place’, or something that lives in the surrounding hills such as an Absol-....w-wait a second here! There might be a pattern!

It might be, in part that is, Clarissa accidentally has a sort of natural penchant for the sort of Pokemon that seem very ‘shady’, ‘cunning’, ‘tough’, and even potentially ‘mafia-like’ in some sense. Perhaps it is her upbringing in Orre and so forth that has shaped her like this, whether consciously or unconsciously, to this end? In any case, it is a neat little ‘quirk’ about her all the same when it comes to the types of Pokemon she likes.

Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other:

• She works to both become stronger herself (as a trainer and psychic and person) and train with her Pokemon to help them become stronger as well. In a sense, doing for her Pokemon what her grandmother and grandmother’s friends did for her. Become better. Learn. Become stronger. Pursue that path forward, and chase the sun over that horizon!
  
  One way or another, she is going to forge her own path forward. Beat gyms? Definitely Collect and find Pokemon? Of course. Something else too, perhaps? She would have to see, but it certainly wasn’t out of the question.
• She enjoys spicy types of food generally, though her starting compatriot seems to have something of a greater tolerance for spiciness than herself, though she also has a soft spot for sweets which she prefers to have for special occasions primarily. When one friend of her grandmother sent some peculiar spiced chocolate from Paldea, it was an exciting prospect and she enjoyed it in the end!
• In general she isn’t picky about food. A hot meal is a hot meal, and even if she isn’t a glutton she will appreciate it. She also, though, does enjoy trying new foods. She has the basics of cooking down in a general enough sense to survive and subsist at the very least as well.

Items:

• Camping Gear/An Extra Change of Clothes
• 1x Potion

Pokédollars: 500p

Appearance: He also has a notably prominent, and once horrific (long ago), scar going over (vertically) his left eye (luckily the eye itself is ok), but that’s all.

Species: Buneary

Gender: ♂

Type: Normal

Personality:

• Nature: Adamant
• Characteristic: Alert to Sounds
• Sir Lopsalot is quite an adamant and outgoing little bunny, and is a loyal pokemon that will stand his ground even if faced with overwhelming odds for the sake of the things and individuals he cares about. He likewise generally seems to carry a certain sense of pride for a Buneary, even in the face of defeat trying to hold his head up high….though when defeated he does tend to sulk a little bit in frustration or such. In general can usually be relied upon to be generally courteous and polite to others, unless they are not nice to his trainer (or he perceives them as being such or potentially such) in which case he will take issue with them personally. His behavior reminded his trainer of a ‘little knight, like the ones from tales and bedtime stories’, and thus he got his cute little name as a result and seems to take pride in that nickname as well.
  
  At the same time, he is alert to sounds and his trainer’s demeanor and usually keeps an ‘ear open’ as the saying goes. If his trainer is resting he usually wants to be there keeping a watch on their surroundings. Whether this watchman-like behavior is just out of a sense of care and loyalty, or perhaps due to other things that happened in the life of this Buneary before Sir Lopsalot met his trainer, mostly remains a mystery to his trainer as of current times. He also quite enjoys a good meal, especially after a hard-won victory in fighting or after some good training!

Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other:

• To Become The Strongest! (He Shall Become The One Punch Bunny/One Kick Bunny!)
• Sir Lopsalot wishes to become stronger and a very mighty bunny indeed, but also seems to want to see other places and things and pokemon and people as well. It is also a curiosity, in this latter case, that he seems to share with his more reserved trainer in turn.
• He enjoys spicy foods and spicy flavors.
• He thinks dancing is kind of cool, due to a human stranger he saw on the streets of Gateon Port one day in the past who had really big and weird spherical hair colored like a pokeball for some reason. This remains true, as much as he is embarrassed about liking it or dancing in front of most anyone (but his ‘secret theme’ is tied to this specific quirk).

Level: 7

Moves:

• Splash
• Pound

Ability: Limber - Prevents the Pokemon from becoming paralyzed.

Held Item: (None, at least yet)

Appearance: (Nothing special beyond the normal)

Species: Trubbish

Gender: ♂

Type: Poison

Personality:

• Nature: Quiet
• Characteristic: Highly Curious
• Scrapper is a Trubbish who was born a survivor of the sewers of Grand Glory City, having lived down there his entire life down there prior his capture. He is a quiet little guy who doesn't pipe up too much in terms of speaking, though he is often considerate and contemplative about decisions and apt to thinking on his little feet after so long surviving down in said sewers as well. Likewise while he's apt to run from danger if he can, and the scenario fits it in his mind, he also knows when he can't run and is willing to stand his ground even against a dangerous murder bunny chasing after him and try his best to hold his own where it counts. At the same time, he is still ever a curious little Pokemon who enjoys exploration, learning about new things and places, and even trying new proper food or potential 'foods' for his part. While his primarily more contemplative side helps temper his curiosity somewhat, on certain occasions of a strong curious streak he's potentially liable enough to follow a curious streak and end up having to flee from something or might end up bringing a situation upon himself and/or others. Or, well, making him apt to sit quietly by someone's side and to pat themn lightly on the back if they're having a tough time alone.
  
  His nickname orignated from a spur of the moment decision on his new trainer's part, finding it to be 'fitting for a little survivor' as much as it also 'sounded a bit tough-loooking' as well. At the same time, his nickname, to him, isn't too cutsey as much as it kind of sounds like a street nickname for him. Either way, he certainly likes it!

Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other:

• Enjoys singing on occasion, finding it fun and enjoyable on his part. He's not even shy about singing in front of others for that matter. He's...well, he's also actually pretty darn good at it, funny enough.
• Scrapper is far from a picky eater, having had to subsist on what humanity left he and his kin in the sewers as well as do so in comeptition with the sentient goop that hunts both the same food as well as Trubbish like himself for dinner to boot! Then again, he does have a soft spot for more astringent (slightly acidic or bitter) types of food and isn't really a fan of sweet stuff.
• He does not wish to become someone's food. He doesn't like Alolan Grimer/Muk personally as part of this.
• He is a bit detail oriented when it comes to certain tasks, taking his time and enjoying getting things where they 'feel right' and are in proper order. In that vein he's a rather good organizer!

Level: 6

Moves:

• Pound
• Poison Gas

Ability: Stench - By releasing a stench when attacking, the Pokémon may cause the target to flinch.

Held Item: Black Sludge

Appearance: (Nothing special beyond the normal)

Species: Grimer

Gender: ♀

Type: Poison/Dark

Personality:

• Nature: Impish
• Characteristic: Proud of its power
• Lady Goowain is an Alolan Grimer, a hunter of garbage, a proud lady of the Alolan Grimers of the sewers of Grand Glory City, and hasn't skipped a beat since her capture by a certain psychic girl. Trainer or no trainer, she is a proud Alolan Grimer and will prove it! On one hand, she is a lady who enjoys eating her meals neatly and properly and not in a 'sloppy' way as well as enjoys harmless, playful, and ultimately mischevious pranks and jokes being played on others by her (might even try to get so co-conspirators in on it if she feels she can). On the other hand, she will throw hands if she feels provoked and will stubbornly keep standing tall (by Grimer/Muk standards physically-speaking) no matter how many times she is knocked down! She is also fond of entertaining events and watching amusing things happen, and such things will often draw her attention to boot as well as bring her potentially to laughter and such jovial actions on her part perchance as well.

Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other:

• Thinks she has a fine sense of taste and acts like it-....and is, despite her annoying attitude, a rather good judge of food quality! It is no wonder she was a Grimer who, while hunting and scavenging in the sewers was simply a task to keep herself fed, found her true enjoyment of food always came from seeking out meals such as pizza slices and cast-aside human foods! She'd even dare to poke her head out to the surface now and then, seeking a nearby trash can or metal bin behind a restaurant, during the late night hours! It is no wonder she could be found closer to the entrance(s) of the Grand Glory Sewer Network.
• She likes being the boss of a particular group of Pokemon, but at the same time isn't too foolish as to pick fights with something larger and stronger than her....unless she thinks she can win. Is most apt to pick fights with weaker/less stronger Pokemon than anything.
• Lady Goowain is a flirt when it comes to other male Pokemon in her egg group, esxpecially those like Gengar and Galarian Weezing whom she finds to be a most handsome species! ((OOC: Ths is just played up for comedy purposes, not to be sounding bad or such, but if she found a proper mate then someone's finding an egg eventually.))
• Not very neat and orderly about where she sleeps. Food is the finest thing in life! Where she sleeps? She's used to wherever really.

Level: 4

Ability: Poison Touch - May poison a target when the Pokémon makes contact.

Held Item: -

Appearance: (Nothing special beyond the normal)

Species: Aron

Gender: ♀

Type: Steel/Rock

Personality:

• Nature: Brave
• Characteristic: Capable of taking hits
• Libera is an Aron of the Grand Glory Sewers, having moved there along with a number of her kin to eat up the delicious human-wrought metals of the underground! She didn't even hesitate to get involved in such food-seeking activities either, even at the risk of the odd trainer or someone eventually coming down there when inevitably one of them might eat up a pipe or line that was rather important to those living above....not that they'd know, being Pokemon of course, about all of that. All the same, she is a brave sort who when danger rears its head will defiantly stare it back down and charge in to smash it to pieces, and indeed as this shows when faced with 'fight or flight' she chooses the former in the spur of the moment. All the same, she isn't the impetuously bold sort who just shoves themselves into everything and everyone's business either or seeks out a ton of trouble. She is brave, willing to face immediate dangers and turning her fears into an instinctive 'fight instead of flight' when danger or trouble comes knocking, but outside of these things she is a rather docile and hard-working Pokemon who prefers more blunt measures and such to getting things done and can be counted on to keep walking forward even when times get tough. This being said, she is also not adverse to tactical approaches, but she isn't a 'thinker' as much as she is a 'one who does things' and isn't afraid to get more than a little dirty or take the patient time (not being overly stubborn) to get something or another done when she puts her mind to something.

Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other:

• A rough life in the sewers, and perhaps having migrated from a certain Hidden Cavern to boot in search of food to eat, seems to have shaped her more personal trait of instinctively standing her ground and even fighting when danger or a threat presents itself. It isn't a trait that lends itself to the best of results depending on the threat, especially if it's one much greater than herself, but it is something that she begins with all the same and is something a trainer of hers might need to learn to deal with or work around depending on how she matures and grows and evolves over time.
• As noted, she is brave rather than simply bold, and her preference to 'avoid drama' is something she tends to do on the average unless it somehow drags her into it all. She isn't one to fuss over and bicker with others, simply wanting to go about her business and get things done, though if pulled into something or driven to action somehow by it she is rather forwardly apt to try to put an end to it.
• A fan of spicy flavors to an extreme, of all things, though in terms of metals and outside of regular Pokemon foods this translates to something desiring and enjoying hot and heated metals as part of her meal (aka: "Spicy Metal" in her mind). Her tolerance is such that it'd make a spicy-heat-loving Paldean (pokemon or trainer for that matter) shudder in terror! Or so it would at least seem. Dense levels of spice are really her thing as well, liking highly-spiced foods as well as being a spicy-flavor-enjoyer.
  
  ((Note: She'd even try other peculiar metals, frankly, if given the chance perhaps, to see if any fit her palette as well.))
• A grumpy sleeper that doesn't like being awoken jarringly or suddenly outside of the normal, wishing to get a good night's rest as best as she can! Even in a dangerous situation she'd be grumpy, though, even if she would understand being woken up for such an event or happy someone woke her to the danger instead of leaving them all to be at risk by not waking her.

Level: 5

Moves:

• Tackle
• Harden
• Metal Claw

Ability: Rock Head - Protects the Pokémon from recoil damage.

Held Item: -

Appearance: Former scratches on his little 'right foot', stained red from the rocks and surroundings as it healed, which makes his appearance somewhat more unique compared to his kin.

Species: Roggenrola

Gender: ♂

Type: Rock

Personality:

• Nature: Careful
• Characteristic: Strong Willed
• A resident of the Hidden Cavern beneath the Grand Glory City Sewers, Pyrite is accustomed to the weirdness of Evig in these peucliar and alien lower reaches-....and yet just not much care about it. It was the only home he'd ever known since hatching from an egg however long ago, sure, and through its dangers and peculiarities he became a rather careful little Pokemon who tends to take careful consideration of things before acting after likely some amount of mishaps and struggle along the way. He eventually learned enough of the tunnels and maneuverings to get around, avoid trouble, stay out of anything big's way in case it might eat him, find safe spots to relax or feed, and the like. At the same time when he dedicates himself to a course of action he isn't one to back down softly or normally, being about as stong willed a Pokemon as the human population of his namesake's home region has had to be to some extent or another. He isn't one to give up on a serious pursuit or decision easily, and is one to put his actions and thoughts out there without hesitation (such as dragging off a certain walking trashbag to try to avoid trouble), but he is one to think before acting and take proper caution and care all the same and isn't a rash sort about things. In all of this, it is of note that his nickname is more fitting than his trainer might realize.
  
  However, naturally, he had never seen a human before, so when one came down into his home area he didn't expect that something wholly new would send another Pokemon to weaken him enough to catch him while he was 'vibing' in one of his favorite spots! But....eh, he wasn't eaten or something? Well, this was all rather new, wasn't it? He was cautious about it all, but....well, this was certainly going to be quite the trip, wasn't it? So just as a tumbleweed might roll about a desert, he too would roll with this new lot in his life all the same.

Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other:

• When he eats food, he likes it bitter and has a dislike of dry sorts of flavor palettes in his own picky manner. While this has mostly amounted to bitter minerals and such as a diet thus far, things like dark enough chocolates, green teas, dark coffees, and even some amount of herbs or potential vegetables would be seen as 'good tasting' to him. Flavors and things he finds to be netural to him will still be eaten, sure, but he will normally jump to his favorite sorts of flavors outright if given the chance. He's picky to enough of an extent, really, just not so to an extreme.
• Stomps his little feet when frustrated or angry, which is adorable until he becomes a Gigalith and the stomping shakes the ground a little bit, and paces about when he's thinking hard about something while also sitting still if he isn't thinking too hard about something.
• He is not one to mind scenery changes or going to different places like beaches, volcanoes, cities, farms, forests, lakes, etc, heck he doesn't even mind being far from his original home or anything. Home is where his trainer and such is, it seems, and he doesn't bat an eye (if he had one) at it. However, the one thing he does mind is that he cannot swim.
• His favorite activities are 'vibing' (sitting about enjoying nature or the feeling of a particular place he's in) and training, and oddly enough at the same time he also enjoys being the equivalent of the "group dad" to other party Pokemon because he is often the one to be careful and drag back others if they get in danger. He will never admit to this lattermost thing though.

Level: 5

Moves:

• Tackle
• Harden
• Sand Attack

Ability: Sand Force - Sand Force boosts the power of Rock-, Ground-, and Steel-type moves in a sandstorm (by 30%) during a sandstorm.

Held Item: -

Appearance:



The only unique trait to him that makes him stand out from other Eviggean Igglybuff is that he has a small splotchy and distinctly yellow-ish birthmark-like patch on his body on the upper back of his body (basically the back of his head as far as it should be considered in reality).

Species: Igglybuff (Evig Variant)

Gender: ♂

Type: Fire/Fairy

Personality: Jotaro is one of the two "Fire Puffs" Clarissa and Nils encoutnered in the Hidden Cavern's (very likely) Wigglytuff-led underground population deep underneath Grand Glory City's sewers, one of two little baby Igglybuff brothers at that who was apparently left at the entrance to the den to play about. Having lured in a punk human kid exploring the sewers above, it seems, he and his brother proceeded to capture and bully the human kid around and were having quite the time amusing themselves in this vein of things.Truth be told, the day he was caught he and his brother had become quite bored sitting near the den entrance....at least until he and his brother found an overly-curious human close enough to home to kidnap and bully for entertainment. It had been a boring type of day, really, and yet despite their fun Jotaro and his brother would be confronted by a pair of two more human kids...but these were trainers! Up to the challenge of a fight, Jotaro and his brother took on the their new opponents, teaming up to defend their fun and getting some good hits in before-

*DING*

...they got captured in the end. Oh. That wasn't part of the plan. Their mom was going to be SO, SO very mad about this later.

For his part, Jotaro had always been a bold sort who dares to go where no chaotic toddler energy Pokemon Eviggean Igglybuff has ever gone before! Sometimes he enjoyed sneaking out when the older Pokemon where sleeping, he didn't hesitate to step up to get something to eat when coming up to bat with the other Igglybuff of their home den, he helped his brother when he needed it, and was even bold enough in his strategic thinking even in battle to help think up obtuse and strange plans like "hey lets turn a Poison Gas into a giant fireball that goes boom" in a combo attack with his brother during their fateful battle with two seemingly just as bold trainers. When he puts his mind to something, he does it with boldness and decisivness! This can also include boldness exhbitied in the form of a bit of mischief that he and his brother so seemed to enjoy, though this in part could be chocked up to the fact he's technically a baby Pokemon of sorts.

But now, now he goes out into a world yet unknown to he and his new trainer for the most part! That will certainly lead to exciting adventures and so forth for sure! Though, yes, sure he has to deal with the punch bunny that socked him with one of its fists and and ear....but why not add a rival to the mix of things, hmm? Sure will help motivate him moving forward, maybe both of them even, in the days and so forth to come. Plus it means more silly things and mischief that could be gotten up to, oh yes, and potentially so much more! He won't be kicking the bucket or giving up that soon, that much is for sure, and life can have its fun momments! Not that you don't have to sometimes retreat and replan or the like if or inevitadly when in life things go south, because even the best-laid or spur-of-the-moment or even bold plans can definitely have a chance to fail. Gotta take risks sometimes, though, that's still a fact to him! Ah. Even so, the journey will certainly help him sober up more, and a touch of such soberness does exist within him when it came to his growing personality back home somewhat as well. Can't be bold without running into crap at times that scares the naievety out of you, after all, and you have to be bold sometimes to protect those things and ones you hold dear....old or new ones to come into his life alike.

• Nature: Bold
• Characteristic: Mischevious

Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other:

• To see the breadth of Evig, and explore this new world he has been pulled into!

Personality:
Still a youth, Evelyn has many qualities and habits or traits that one might call immature. She's a bit vain - especially where herself, or other attractive people are concerned. She can be very bull-headed and stubborn, often wanting to do or get things done her way, and when that doesn't work out, she can be quite puffy. Litteraly, she puffs out her cheeks like a kid. The lass also shows no real interest or patience for things she herself isn't interested in or cares about. She likes to present herself as being calm, collected, refined and elegant... But that's usually just a facade, and when caught doing something embarrassing or failing to keep up this front... She can get very flustered.

This all said, Evelyn's still got some good sides too. She's a hard worker and when she sets a goal, she almost single-mindedly focuses on it until its done. About the things she cares about she can be very passionate and enthusiastic, some would say she 'geeks out' about the things she likes. The girl's generally kind-hearted, even if she tries to hide it, and will always help if she sees someone in need. Be it because of her youth, naivety or otherwise, Eve also displays a great deal of courage and isn't one to back down or be easily intimidated. She does, of course, sometimes come off as a bit haughty, spoiled, pampered and narcissistic.

Evelyn strongly dislikes cruelty, especially against those who can't defend themselves. She also takes pokemon care quite seriously and can be very critical or harsh when she sees someone mistreat, or incorrectly tend, to their own - or others - pokemon (or people). To those who manage to befriend her, they'll quickly learn that Evelyn is very generous, and can be quite supportive of those she cares about. It's just hard to become someone she cares about, since she seems to care mostly about... Well, Herself. Most the time.

Trainer Class: Glamarous Gal
Hometown: Evertide City, Evig region

Background:
Born and raised in Evertide City, Evelyn grew up the daughter of a fairly well-off family. From an early age, she admired the many trendy, fashionable and pretty people who walked Evertide, the models, the actresses, the pseudo-celeberities, and the important and popular tourists who came to visit. Surrounded by catwalking models and stylish fashionistas, it should come to no surprise that this had a very heavy and meaningful impact on young Evelyn. If you wanted to be seen, if you wanted to be noticed, then you had to become someone who was worth noticing, someone people couldn't afford to not look at. Thus, she took an early interest in things like fashion, cosmetics, fitness and other similar fields.

While the other kids at her school talked and blabbed about whatever inane things kids at that age talk about, Evelyn was already busy looking up the greatest and most important individuals in 'The Biz'. This, of course, meant that her circle of friends within her own age group and peers were... Limited... To put it mildly. Thankfully, her family owned a pet pokemon, and the girl found solace in caring for and playing with it whenever that nagging feeling of loneliness came creeping. Towards the end of her mandatory time in school, she took part in an exam regarding pokemon. Little did the students know, that this test had been made in order to search for potential candidates for the region's very own pokemon professor.

Unsurprisingly, as Evelyn had spent a great deal of time at home, playing with, learning about and taking care of the family pokemon, she performed very well on the exam. In fact, she performed top of her class.. Whetever this was the result of her hard work, dedication and comitment to pokemon, or her peers lack thereof, was hard to say. But, whatever the case may be she was - once she'd graduated - approached and invited to come visit the Pokemon Professor, having been told that she'd been chosen as one of the few who would be receiving the coveted Pokedex. Outwardly, Evelyn merely flashed a cocky smirk and said something like: 'It's about time my brilliance was recognized.' But on the inside she was jumping, up and down while screaming like a hysterical fangirl who'd just seen their favorite pop idol walk down the street next to her.

After relaying the good news to her parents, she was given the go-ahead by them. With that, the young girl was now set on the path... The path to become a pokemon trainer.

Typical Clothing: Vest or tank top with his favorite overcoat, pants and boots, along with fingerless and backless black gloves. If out exploring, trades the regular boots for hiking boots. Wears a white gi with a brown belt when practicing his martial arts or fighting in a tournament.

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Personality: Level headed is most often used to describe Jason, who usually takes the time to appraise a situation before involving himself. However, he has a strong sense of justice and strong moral compass, likely a side effect of how much time he’s spent studying the knights and warriors of old and he’s been known to get into fights with bullies and thugs regularly. On top of that, he’s a very loyal friend once he has decided to call you such.

Trainer Class: Cave Explorer

Hometown: Petalburg City, Hoenn Region

Background: While Jason is not a native to the Evig Region, nor are his parents, due to their experience with rebuilding areas hit with natural disasters, when Cipher was pushed out of the region, his parents were asked to assist with the rebuilding of the most damaged areas. However, not wanting to disrupt Jason’s day to day, his parents left him with an uncle who also lived in Petalburg until a couple of years ago, when the young man chose to move back in with his parents and make up the lost time he was finishing school. His uncle was a Renaissance Faire worker and, while Jason stayed with him, exposed him to all sorts of things, expanding his already impressive list of interests more, as well as encouraging him to get into martial arts after he got in a series of fights with a well known bully from school.

Attending the Fairs with his uncle, the sword fighting tournaments always caught his interest and when he turned fourteen, he got permission from parents and uncle alike to begin taking part, training with the long sword and shield to compete, on top of his karate and judo classes. What time he didn’t spend in school and practicing his katas and sword fighting he spent exploring the surrounding area. Admittedly, part of why he moved to the Evig Region was because he’d heard that a new league would be starting soon and he wanted to be a part of it, especially since he’d missed his chance to join the Hoenn League. He has a positive opinion of Pokemon Contests thanks to his mom, who was a star Coordinator in her youth and wants her son to see Pokemon beyond just battle partners.

Kind of Pokémon you like: So long as they’re willing to work with him, he likes them, though he does have a preference for Pokemon like Gallade and Hitmonchan.

Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other: Equal skill levels in the Karate and Judo martial arts disciplines and is fairly familiar with activities like rock climbing and spelunking, being they are favorite hobbies of his.

Held Item:

Name: Prince Valerian Hardrada
Appearance:

Valerian is tall for his age, standing at 6’0”. He is a striking young man with a slender, graceful build, and with the regal posture of the prince he was raised to be. His wavy platinum blonde hair is perfectly styled at all times. He has expressive piercing blue eyes.

Though born into royalty, he dresses with modern flair. He likes pastel toned, tailored clothing. He wears a soft pink blazer over a lavender t-shirt, sleek designer jeans, and delicate silver accessories. He accessorizes purposefully, always polished, and always looks ready for a photo shoot at any moment. Even on the road, he refuses to be seen looking anything less than immaculate.

Valerian always smells faintly of rosewater and carries himself with the kind of confidence that can only come from someone born into royalty.

Age: 17
Gender: Male

Personality: Valerian is everything someone would imagine a prince to be. Graceful, charming, and endearingly spoiled. He adores luxury, expects comfort, and occasionally makes a mountain out of a molehill (especially when there’s dirt involved). He can be vain, dramatic, and a little high-maintenance, but never cruel. His royal upbringing taught him poise and diplomacy, and while he sometimes weaponizes his charm to get his way, he is genuinely kind beneath the glamorous exterior.

He may fuss over chipped nails or mismatched aesthetics, but he’ll also go out of his way to help someone who’s hurting, even if it means getting his shoes dirty (the horror, I know!) Though pampered, Valerian is sincere, emotional, and ready to prove there’s more to him than sparkles and status.

Trainer Class: Fairy Prince

Hometown: Lacritasia City, Evig Region

Background: As one of the youngest members of the royal Hardrada family, Valerian was raised in the lap of luxury. Though the Hardrada family no longer rules with political power, they remain beloved cultural icons, sponsors of the arts, fashion, and public appearances, their every move documented by the press. From the moment he could walk and talk, Valerian was not just a child, he was a symbol.

He was trained to be the perfect image of a prince, flawless, composed, and ever gracious. But behind the glitz and glamor, Valerian felt like something was missing. He watched other children, ones who weren’t followed by cameras or styled by professionals, run through the streets with laughter and dirt on their shoes. They had scrapes, messes, freedom. Most of all, they had Pokémon not given to them as gifts, but earned through experience and bonding. Valerian, for all his luxury, envied that.

He always adored Fairy-types, they were beautiful, and magical. Every now and then, he’d sneak into the royal greenhouses at night just to spend time with wild Flabébé and Spritzee. The fairies didn’t ask him to be a perfect prince, only himself.

Valerian was expected to represent the family in galas, charity balls, and televised events. But when Professor Kapoc extended an invitation for young trainers to journey with a Pokédex, Valerian shocked the region by stepping forward himself. Everyone thought it would be a publicity stunt, even his own parents.

Valerian, wrote a letter to Professor Kapoc. In it, he spoke about wanting to learn the world outside of his royal bubble, and about proving that even someone like him could become a true trainer. Professor Kapoc didn’t just accept him, he challenged him. No shortcuts. No special treatment. Just Valerian, a Pokédex, and one Pokémon to start with. And Valerian accepted. He was looking forward to be seen not just as a prince, but as himself.

Kind of Pokémon you like: Fairy types of course! Valerian loves Pokémon that are beautiful, graceful, mystical, or just adorable.

Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other:

• He’s gay! That should come as a shock to no none.
• Terrified of Bugs and messes.
• Secretly wants to star in an elaborate stage musical.
• Dreams of becoming the face of Fairy-type battling—graceful, powerful, and unforgettable.
• Will dramatically monologue if wet, dirty, or emotionally overwhelmed.
• Can’t cook, but insists on plating everything like it’s a gourmet meal.

Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other:

• Will aggressively challenge anything that scares Valerian (like Wurmple).
• Loves sweet scents, Valerian’s perfume collection is her playground.

Quirks / Talents / Aspirations:
– Reacts dramatically to perceived insults, often crossing his little shadowy arms and turning away with a huff.

Appearance: 5'9" and fit, with warm brown skin and amethyst eyes. He has a few nicks and scars normal for anyone that spent a majority of their life playing around in snowy forests and mountains.

He normally wears sturdy shoes and warm layers (though will gradually shed them in hotter climates). Wears a single earring at the moment, though both of his lobes are pierced. Carries a spacious brown backpack with a wooden charm attached to it and a bed roll on top.

Age: 15

Gender: Male, he/him

Trainer Class: Outdoorsman

Hometown: Frostford City, Evig

Personality: A confident and down-to-earth young man who isn't easily scared off or dissuaded. At first meeting he seems friendly, inquisitive, and helpful, and that is all generally true about him. Nils is also playful, enjoys teasing others, and complains about small things just for the sake of complaining. However, some emotional baggage actually makes him a much more private person than he appears. He doesn't talk in depth about himself, and though fine with expressing most other feelings he doesn't like when his true frustrations show through on the outside. Rarely one to outright lie, he prefers to speak around his issues or simply deflect and change topics. Even if he were to talk about his troubles, his words usually get caught in his throat.

Though he has little experience with the world outside of the Ymir Mountain Range, he is far from naive. Nils is patient and steadfast, and once he sets his mind to something he follows through with it even if he has to think up alternate ways of tackling his goals. He is understanding of others, but when it comes to himself he never seems satisfied. For example, rather than admit he is oblivious on a topic, he will feign like he knows what he's talking about even if he has no idea. It's a good thing that he's fairly clever and a quick learner, at least.

Background: Growing up in the eternal winter of Frostford City was not as rough as most outsiders might think. Old families were well adapted to it, and even for new residents (as rare as they were) the community was always more than willing to help each other out. It was easy to feel close to other Frostford natives, even when you lived nearer to the mountains than not and your closest neighbors were a ten minute sled ride away. Nils' family home was one such case, and it still stands on Frostford's outskirts. Though snow was always present, the environment he grew up in was made warm by the kindness of neighbors, the antics he got up to with other local kids, and the love of his small family, made up of himself, his parents, and his grandfather, even during the years Cipher was still active. His days were spent meeting up with friends and exploring the wilderness, hiking, snowshoeing, poking fun at tourists, competing with grandpa, and attempting to emulate the craft work of local artisans, all the while keeping up with homeschooling.

Yes, while young Nils was just like any other child in Frostford... almost. He never was quite the same as the others. He knew it, his friends knew it. It was apparent in his earliest years, but he really began to notice as he grew up. And the same was true for his family as well. Where other folks had uncles and cousins, great-grandparents and stories to go along with them, the Sokki family had none of that. And when they didn't have guests over, they tended to do things differently from the other households in Frostford. Sometimes only a little different, enough to notice but not to question, a word or gesture no one else in town seemed to use; other times it was in ways that completely baffled his friends when he happened to mention it. And yet, whenever Nils asked about it, his normally talkative parents grew tight lipped and uneasy. Their uncharacteristic silence on the matter affected their son, and eventually he adopted their reticence. He tried harder to blend in with other kids and stopped talking about their family's 'oddities' in public.

Only in public, though, as with most young boys being denied something only made him crave it all the more. That, and frankly Nils didn't want to be made to feel ashamed about something he didn't understand. As he continued to grow and expressed his feelings on the matter, his family did end up sharing some things with him; a remark about the land of more than a few thousand years past, a name that they called themselves by. But no more than that. It wasn't enough, especially since nearly every conversation was chased with empty promises to explain things at another time, or when he was more mature, or when he really needed to know. The secrets that they kept from him became a sore point between Nils and his family, and remains so to this day. Eventually it became clear to him that he would have to find some other way to learn what he wanted... and one option was by getting the information out of his grandfather. Even though the man had never actually agreed to give said information up, Nils figured there wasn't much else he would rather ask for as a victory prize.

Oh, that thing about spending time competing with grandpa? Another 'odd' thing that no one else in Frostford seemed to do with their own grandparents, but it was a frequent event heartily encouraged by the man himself. Nils' grandfather, the small family's patriarch, was an accomplished man. He left the city every now and then on business (the nature of which Nils wouldn't find out until right before starting his own journey), but every time he returned grandfather and grandson would go at it in all kinds of contests: skiing, whittling, wrestling, foot races, games, even eating competitions and tongue twisters. There was one time that Nils even borrowed an experienced Pokémon of the family to try and win against him in a Pokémon battle. No matter what competition Nils suggested, he never once won. That old man was unreasonably strong...!!

And so, at fifteen years old and a record of 74:0 in grandpa's favor, Nils took a different approach. He applied to be part of Evig's introductory Pokémon League. In his application he listed his honest motivations for wanting to travel Evig: the pursuit of both truth and power. Either he would find what he wanted out there, somewhere, or the experience would give him the strength he needed to return home and wrest it from his kin. Nils wants to discover a lot more about the world and the region, but especially about his family and himself... and the League would be his next avenue to do it.

Kind of Pokémon They Like: Huge and hardy ones! But also majestic ones, and those that form packs or herds.

Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other:

• His main goal is to become strong enough to finally defeat his grandfather.
• After finding out just how much of a big shot said grandfather actually is, Nils is rather coy with the man's identity.
• He enjoys spending time outdoors and has a lot of knowledge in regards to wilderness survival.
• Very good at whittling and will do it as a hobby in his down time.

During times where she needs to dress formally, Audrey's hair is made into space buns with long bangs and usually would prefer a suit, but if not allowed Audrey wears a star-patterned black corset and a white skirt. She doesnt want to wear heels however.


16 year old / Female / Musician


Audrey is a bubbly young girl, full of enthusiasm for her adventures and journeys and a passion for researching both pokemon and anything that is yet to be discovered. She is quite cheerful and is a great support for her friends, willing to do anything and everything for them and those she adores. Audrey is open-minded and is willing to follow any idea, even if its probably not going to work out. She wants to make the most out of her adventures, and that means trying new things which she enjoys alot.

But Audrey can be spiteful, strongly despising those who wronged her or her friends in which she does not forgive easily and often times and she takes critiscm poorly as a perfectionist. She needs everything to be detailed, to be perfect in hopes she'll one day impress everyone by being a well-known researcher, she absolutely enjoys watching pokemon of all types and shapes. Audrey is fearless and strongly believes that the only thing to fear is fear itself, she can be reckless due to this, often sneaking into things she shouldnt know about and being a klutz.


Audrey was born into a decently wealthy family with an older brother. Her parents were amazing pokemon trainers and so early on she was absolutely ecstatic about pokemon, as a kid she often played with her dad's noivern and she adored him, absolutely loved music after she stumbling upon a noivern music video. Duing this time her father left to explore the vast world, leaving her and her mother alone— Audrey took after her father's interests after he gave her earrings that was found in a "haunted mansion" which she loved. During a boring day her father gifted her an old plushie of the legendary bird of thunder; Zapdos, which smelled like stormclouds that she found weird. But she loved the plushie and carried it everywhere. She was often teased for her plushie and music obsession but she didnt care, sometimes she could get a little reckless and...lose some figurines or two but her mother continued cherishing her. For most of her childhood her brother was less then present, he was a well-renowned researcher in lumios city and often bought her dolls and figurines, one day he decided to give her a textbook about mega evolution which she read every single day til she knew everything. As she was a child in a house full of succesful people, she was expected to be brilliant aswell. Though she didnt enjoy living up to said expectations, often times she easily got angered when others said things she didnt like and some could say Audrey was spoiled.

At ten she picked up her first guitar and was quite talented at it naturally and practiced everyday in hopes she'd enter her school's music band if she was good enough. She was really enthusiastic about it. During halloween she decided to trick or treat in houses nobody dared to, in which resulted in her getting shadow balled by an angry haunter but she enjoyed the thrill, ALOT, but these daredevil shenanigans were more of a side-hobby. During late semester Audrey was often given a chance to buy something due to her success, Audrey would often buy pokemon plushies claiming that it reminded her of her old zapdos plushie and often carried the plushies in her bag to school. At school she took music afterclasses and paid more attention to pokemon biology as it was the only subject she had true motivation in studying which made her want to be a pokemon researcher. Sometime during mid semester she finally got accepted into a music band and she absolutely loved it, every day she'd play the guitar til her heart practically exploded with adrenaline and Audrey often took the lead. Yet during a trip for the school's band to preform at a mall she accidentally played the wrong strings multiple time which caused her to get criticized and banned from plays for a WHOLE YEAR, she found it unfair and hated the band but still found passion for her guitar. And so she strived to be better then all of them as a way to enact her revenge, 'Make everyone jealous!' was the only thing she knew how to do perfectly.

At 14 she vowed to become the best musician in all of Kalos and was inspired by so many others in which she practiced everyday til her fingers bled. Audrey soon proved the band wrong after taking lead during the first performance she was allowed to in 4 years, gaining the aplause of everyone. But she felt like her music skills were high, and so she moved onto another thing she was decent at: Pokemon biology, she'd enjoy reading textbooks, everything about pokemon and even thought of being a researcher but it never really became as big as a hobby. It was more of a skill she learned but not perfected, and she didnt like it so she read more and more everyday. And so she had an early graduation out of high school at 16 for her amazing knowledge, she was free and so Audrey persued after her dreams of becoming a rockstar and perhaps research some pokemon on the way to becoming famous. One day when she sneaking away from her house she was dared by a friend to explore an abandoned house which made was spiking her adrenaline, she absolutely went crazy for it, she loved the feeling of excitement. An old side hobby had just been rediscovered by her, just as she was going to go away she was tackled by a wild pokemon in which she quickly got off and ran away, though she liked it. But running away wasnt part of her dare, she only stayed for a few minutes when she was dared to be there for 10! And her friends were petty so she teased by all of her so called friends on how childish it was to keep plushies but she ignored it, she enjoyed collecting them, and she enjoyed how weird some of them smelled, and she believed it wasnt worth the effort to embarass them.

When she heard of a new region, the Evig region, she immediately knew she HAD to go! It was a region she never heard of, all the new pokemon, more things to explore, and best of all, a larger audience to impress. She flew there after saying her farewells to her mother and now her journey had begun.


Audrey is a rather exceptional guitarist with dreams of creating her own albums and hitting mainstream with her music as a rockstar.
She is a daredevil, she enjoys taking center-stage and is willing to do it no matter what, she takes risks and tries to be unique by doing extreme sports.
She has an eye for fashion, both for herself and her pokemon; she likes to style them during her freetime with what she can find.
Audrey dreams to be both a renowned research and rockstar in the pokemon world, and is always taking opportunities.
Despite her wannabe cool attitude she keeps plushies and perfumes with weird smells in her bag as she finds them comforting.


Audrey likes cool looking pokemon and likes all types equally but prefers poison and electric types.

Name: Archibald 'Archie' Walker

Age: 10

Gender: Male

Personality: Archibald is a bundle of pure energy with a strong sense of justice even at a young age. He's always raring to go anywhere and is more than eager to do anything that will get his bum off the chair. An idealistic kid, Archie tends to daydream and imagine himself in scenarios where he gets to be the hero in his own story. He is righteous and brave; he never turns a blind eye from humans and Pokemon that might need his help. Sometimes, his eagerness to save the day would get him short-sighted as his brash decisions have a high chance of getting him into more trouble than he already is. He can also be naive in a way that he assumes the best in people due to his overly-trusting and friendly demeanor. Still, Archie is determined to do whatever it takes to save the day.

Trainer Class: Aspiring Hero

Hometown: Edda City, Evig

Background:
Archie was born and raised in Edda City, and being the son of two theatre actors meant first-row privileges in every shows his parents performed in. His parents were renowned theatre actors too and it was thought by their peers that Archie would follow in his parents' footsteps. One of the last performances he watched was the reenactment of the battle between the rebellion and the forces of Cipher. He was even more amazed by the actor who played Adriane Brand. He knew it happened years ago but he was so moved by the heroicism of Adriane and the rebels that the show inspired him to pursue a different path: to become a hero just like his idol.

His parents thought it was adorable of him to have such a dream and thought he'd forget about it quickly like most kids do. They were very surprised to find out the opposite happened. His room was filled with posters of fictional heroes, with the biggest one was that of Adriane whom he put cutouts of a cape and other stuff from his books to make her look like she's wearing a typical hero costume.

One day during a show, a faulty wire caused sparking and lit the curtain on fire. Everyone ran out of the theatre the show was performing in but after finding out there was another kid with their Pokemon who got lost inside, Archie ran back inside the burning building despite the danger he was getting himself in. After a few tense moments, he managed to save the kid and the Pokemon and he fell unconscious from the heat and smoke he inhaled.

When he woke up in the hospital, he found his parents were talking to Adriane Brand, the Adriane Brand! Archie's ultimate idolized hero and the bestest Pokemon trainer there was! Despite feeling weak, he still had a big warm smile on his face upon meeting his biggest inspiration. He even had to slap himself in case it was a dream, which if it was then he didn't want to wake up! He was reassured it was all real and she personally came to visit him to know his condition. Not only that, but she also personally extended an invitation to him: for Archie to become one of the select few who would get a Pokemon and a Pokedex to become a full-fledged Trainer. He was even giddy in excitement when he learned he was handpicked by her especially. After considerate discussion with his parents and with their blessing, Archie had fully recovered and was now ready to follow in the footsteps of his idol.

Look out, evil-doers! Archie's on his way to save the day!

Kind of Pokémon you like: Archie likes all kinds of Pokemon. If he has to pick favorites, he'd say the ones who are the kindest and most heroic just like Adriane.

Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other: Obviously Archie wants to be like his idol Adriane. Even though there aren't any (seemingly) evil forces/bad guys out there since the defeat of Cipher a decade ago, he still wants to be strong enough to defend the weak and the innocent. The most obvious way for him to do that is to become a strong Pokemon Trainer just like Ms. Brand, so that's exactly what he'll do to.

On the other hand, Archie just despises eating any kind of vegetable. He also keeps a diary he calls his Hero Records where he writes down the good deeds he's done for the day.

Appearance: David has a muscular frame, honed from summers of construction work as a teenager. He has black hair and eyes and typically wears worn blue jeans, a white t shirt and a workman's jacket. Also, he is 6’2” and has a slight tan.

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Personality: David is the type who prefers acting first and thinking later. Very energetic as well, he enjoys seeing new places and meeting new people. He isn't dumb, but he can be simple minded and miss details most people would pick up on. Still, he is a sincere person and cares about those he calls his friend.

Trainer Class: Psychic

Hometown: Vermillion City

Background: David grew up in Vermillion as an only child to a single mother. Things could be tight at times, but there was always food on the table and a happy household. Thanks to her job as a construction worker, they were eventually able to move from an apartment to a small house also. Though he wasn't the best academically, David made good friends in school and got by, managing to graduate before now. 

His psychic powers manifested when he was a teenager, kind of out of nowhere. Watching TV, David was reaching for the remote when it moved to him on its own! Since then, he has stumbled upon various psychic abilities, though he has no real interest in specializing in that type of Pokemon. “Boring stuff from Saffron,” is how he'd describe it. Why limit yourself to just one type when so many Pokemon are out there?

One day, he heard about the new Pokemon league in Evig and decided to apply. Why not, right? Well, imagine his surprise when he got in! However it happened, David didn't think too much about it. He was grateful though, and he set out with his Abra towards this new adventure.

Kind of Pokémon you like: Any, really. The “really cool ones” are his favorites, but ask him to define that and you'll get a blank stare.

Personality: Regan is a personable young lady with a serious streak. She’s kind, courteous, and confident. Focus and drive give her a purposeful gaze.

Trainer Class: Ranger Aspirant
Hometown: Shalour City, Kalos
Background: Regan has been raised to be a fighter. Ferocity runs in her blood. Alas, times have been peaceful, things have been calm. Fighters have little to fight.

Strong, capable trainers, putting their power to use helping people and pokemon alike.
She applied to become a Ranger, but without proper experience handling Pokemon, she could not. With persistence on her end, the Rangers and the Pokemon Association decided to give her a chance. She had promise. She'd have to travel far to prove her mettle, however.

Vivian Sorex


Height: 5’0”
Weight: 92 lbs

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Personality: Overly eager and energetic, Vivian lives for two things: Adventure, history, and uncovering lost secrets. If one pointed out that those were three things, she would yell semantics and go back to her normal duties. Truthfully, she has no care for ‘societal standards’, seeing them as just another distraction for her true calling.

As a result, Vivian is difficult to pin down for more than a few minutes at a time, always moving to research something new or strike out in a different direction. This also results in her having difficulty making notable friends, as she tends to move at a pace that leaves most people behind. She is, however, unapologetic of this fact, seeing as she despises having to ‘slow down’.

In addition to this, Vivian is not an individual who enjoys battling, seeing it as an annoying roadblock at best and a risk to the surroundings at worst.

Trainer Class: Aspiring Archeologist

Hometown: Celestic Town, Sinnoh

Background: For most of her life, Vivian’s life was built around a fascination for archeology and ancient history. Born in Celestic Town, she had easy access to the town’s history, and more importantly, an understanding of her duty to help preserve said history about her home region. Some kids would find such a task boring, but for Vivian, it was a fascinating subject that she grew to adore, and with time, expanded beyond the sphere of her village.

Of course, she had other interests, such as tuning into Pokemon Contests and League battles, but her focus was always on the historical aspects. The history of Pokemon Contests throughout the years, the importance of certain locations like the Ruins of Alph or Burned Tower, these were things that Vivian grew enamoured with. Of course, with so much history already being uncovered, the growing desire to discover ancient secrets for herself seemed like a farfetched idea… At least until she learned of the Evig region and the potential of lost history residing there.

Immediately, she set her boundless energy on that one singular goal: Making her way to the Evig region in order to start a journey that would make it into the history books based on her findings. Despite her… Oddities, she was surprisingly accepted into the fold of Professor Kapoc’s chosen.

Only to arrive far later than she should have thanks to accidentally taking the wrong plane.

Kind of Pokémon you like: Pokemon that have rich history, or anything that can help curb her… Inability to function. Examples would be
- Aron
- Larvesta
- Furret
- Wooper
- Ghost/Rock/Steel/Ground type mons

Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other:
- Natural Tomb Raider: It’s no surprise that Vivian has a lot of respect for ruins and artifacts. However, she showcases this respect by -wanting to take them for herself in order to store them somewhere nice and safe, away from the cold harsh world that would try to break them.
- Hopeless with schedules and directions: Vivian is incapable of following a schedule, and even more hopeless at reading a map. She’ll sleep in, forget about events, or have terrible misfortune befall her that prevents her from making it to anything on time, and could easily end up several towns over if trusted to walk a few blocks, even with accurate, foolproof directions.
- Overly dramatic: Hardly a surprise, but Vivian has a penchant for being excessive with her movement and manners, largely thanks to her small interest in various movies.

Items: 1x Potion.
Pokédollars: 500p.

Atlas
Appearance:


Species: Golett

Type: Ground/Ghost

- Blood Knight: A natural battler at heart, Atlas is the first to stand up for a fight, even if their trainer would rather not.
