Name: Edward Fraiser
Age: 18
Class: Trainer
Hometown/Region: Johto
Appearance: Edward often wears black polo shirts as to them being real cheap at thrift stores. His pants usually look like they've lost color and sport a couple of tears on them. Expensive wear, or designer clothing isn't really his thing. A newspaper boy's hat is always worn on his head.
Due to his obsession with standing in front of the television at a young age watching Poke sitcoms, he's forced to wear prescription glasses. Things begin to look fuzzy without them. His favorite shoes are Converse, preferably black ones. The white space of the shoes have been drawn on with a sharpie; the sharpie sketching shows a pattern of Pikachu.
Personality: Edward is not shy in the least. He occasionally starts the conversation mainly to the reason being that the awkward silence bothers him. It's hard for Ed to make friends since he doubts himself a lot with thoughts such as, “I wonder if I’m annoying this person. Does this person think I’m lame?” Lying is not something he's proud of so he likes to exaggerate the truth. Doing this, he feels his chances of making a friend are high. He hasn’t really gained many friends throughout his adventure that weren’t pokemon.
Despite his low self-esteem toward others, he does demonstrate strategic knowledge and leadership capabilities. He is willing to support anyone and give a hand where it is due. Ed would mentor a person as he would mentor his pokemon. Since he has not had many friends, he takes the concept of friendship seriously.
Ed is a bright individual. However, he lacks any common sense. He'll believe any little story you tell to him. His darkest secret is that he still has confidence that Santa Claus is real.
Equipment: Two pokeballs, three potions, and a flashlight.
Pokemon Team: The only pokemon that Ed has possession of is an Abra and a Scizor.
Updated Pokemon Team: Abra (Crow), Scizor (Sekare), Oddish (Rhododendron).
History: At the age of 14, Edward received Abra, his first pokemon. He named it Crow and it has been with Ed ever since. It would've been expected that Abra would've evolved by now, but Edward kinda took his time getting into the whole pokemon conquest. It just didn't feel like his time to rise yet.
Time passed on for about a year until Edward decided that he should get started with his journey. Nothing truly exciting happened except doing a few errands around town. His friendship with Crow did increase thus which made the adventure easier.
After some vigorous training, Crow became one of Ed's most powerful pokemon. Ed and Crow undergo rigorous training each day. The kind of training that is slowly making his entire team much more powerful by the month. Crow has yet to evolve, but Ed is waiting for the day he finally does. The abra is almost never concealed in his poke ball, hangs on his trainer's back. The psychic pokemon spends his time sleeping to store power for future battles.
His Scizor was the first pokemon that Edward caught at the age of 15. He proudly called it "Sekare". Viridian Forest was the place of battle. The bug-type was confident he would've scored a victory on Ed, but was surprised by the skilled abra. The battle was intense, but with Crow’s training and Ed’s strategic plays, the Scizor was unable to pull a win.
After noticing its struggle, Edward pitched a pokeball and claimed his first capture. Sekare could arguably be the hardest pokemon that Edward would ever have to train. It seemed like the pokemon had a horrible personality from the start. It was possible Sekare wasn't proud of losing, or probably Scizors are a stubborn species. However, through some quick victories with other trainers, the respect was starting to appear. Sekare considered Ed his way of becoming stronger and becoming unbeatable. After learning his defeat was no lucky chance and Edward was no push-over, he became obedient. Sekare is quicker than Crow.
Edward has the made the decision of heading towards the Toppe Region to further begin his journey. He has lived in Johto for a while and chose it would be best if he came to his home region another time. There have been many challenges Ed has heard about the Toppe Region and he cannot resist the rumors. He acknowledged this might be the best option to put himself out there. He might be low-leveled, but he has a huge heart to take on the many obstacles the region has to give him.
