Name: Ross
Appearance:

Starter Pokemon: Ryhorn ((level 20)) Donphan ((Level 26, captured Shadow Pokemon although it's heart is nearly open.))
Equipment: Stolen Snag Machine. twelve ultra balls stolen from a Cipher Peon that was stupid enough to pick a fight with him.
Personality: Unlike most of the people of Orre, Ross hasn't lost any Pokemon to Cipher and is actually a native to Kanto who was in Orre when Cipher took over. As such, he learned the hard way what Cipher does to traveling trainers in this region. He is a careful trainer who examines situations before acting as to best deal with the situation.
History: Ross is a traveling trainer who was stuck in Orre when Cipher took over and as a result he was attacked by a Cipher Peon one night. The Peon lost the battle due to the fact that he underestimated both Ross's battling skill and his determination. After the battle, the Peon attempted to take his Pokemon by force only to be soundly beaten and have his Snag Machine stolen along with his sole Shadow Pokemon. Ross didn't know much about Shadow Pokemon but he had heard rumors about them and as a result, battled with it and cared for it as if it was his own to try and open it's heart. As of now, his Ryhorn and the Shadow Donphan actually get along while double battling due to the fact that they have fought together for so long. Right now, Ross is trying to find a way to undo the final lock on his Shadow Pokemon.
