Name: Ryan Frost
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Nationality: Sinnohian, more specifically, from Snowpoint City
Personality: Ryan can be described as the kind of person who initially doesn’t seem to have a competitive or rebellious side to him, being relatively peaceful. To him, it’s not about trying to find some end goal, but rather to enjoy the experience that comes with the journey and to spend quality time with pokemon. He much prefers the company of pokemon than humans, having a hard time socializing with others as he often can’t think of the right things to say. And while he’ll try his hardest to be friendly, it’ll often be accompanied with stuttering of words and or awkward responses. And if you can break through his awkwardness, you’ll find someone who loves pokemon and will respect you for sticking with his attitude. Along with that, you’d also be able to see one of his best traits is that he can press on through failure with an optimistic attitude, even if a situation may seem grim. He follows his heart, and while it is more often than not in the best place, it can lead him to going into some… morally gray areas.
And while he doesn’t seem much for competition, that doesn’t mean he’ll let someone push him around or not take a battle seriously. In fact, his entire persona changes when in the heat of battle. He becomes very analytical and confident in his actions, often very quick on his feet to come up with a solution on how to fight, and changing his fighting style to best suit his opponent. While he isn’t looking to win persay, he does use each battle as an opportunity to learn more about pokemon and how moves interact with one another. He believes you can learn a lot about a person with how they handle a battle, win or lose, and he does like a challenge, even if he isn’t the one to initiate it. It’s for this reason he is taking on both the league and competitions.
His favorite pokemon types are ice, water, grass, and fairy in that order.
Biography: Ryan’s story isn’t anything grand, or at least he doesn’t believe it to be. At a fairly young age his father and mother had a falling out of sorts, causing his mother to return home to Snowpoint with him, and for his brother to be taken with his dad to Alola. She planned on isolating him from interacting with his father, but that didn’t stop his older brother from trying to reach out to him when they both got older. But that is a story for a little bit down the line.
Ryan was often isolated from the others, mainly playing by himself in the snow or learning how to ice skate with his mom. She loved him, but was always afraid that his father would try to come and take him to Alola away from her, and so he was often always under her supervision. His only real interactions when he was younger was through the television, where he would watch intense pokemon battles, or the elegant contests Sinnoh was known for. They were his connection to the outside world, and he gladly soaked it all in. He often dreamed of exploring the various regions despite his mother’s protests, and it was further amplified on his tenth birthday. That was when the first letter from Alola happened, one that he found while checking the mail before his mother could. He never knew he had a brother, but upon seeing the picture, the resemblance was uncanny, along with him knowing things that only a true sibling could know. Something told him to hide it from his mother, and when he got the chance several days later, he sent his own message, and the brotherly bond was solidified. He'd tell him all about Snowpoint, and his brother would write to him about his adventure in Alola and how he was in the island challenge. In made Ryan insist to his mother to take him to a trainer school so that he himself could explore and battle, but his mother had other ideas.
While she did indeed send him to a trainer school, it wasn’t until his 13th birthday, and it was one designed to hold you for four years. She was attempting to delay his journey as much as possible, even if the norm was to have already started several years ago, but Ryan didn’t mind. So long as he was finally going to learn about pokemon and the world around him, he didn’t care how long it would take. He made sure to soak in as much information as possible, from typings to moves, and even the vast amount of pokemon and their evolutions or how they evolve. He could also write to his brother more easily at school, and eventually he learned that his father was somewhere on Alola, having became a fisherman somewhere along their stay. When he wrote back to his brother telling him about their mom and snowpoint, it made Ryan’s brother feel a bit sad for Ryan. After all, while he was several years younger than himself, Kestin felt his brother should be able to experience the world on his own someday and not just through TV screens or books.
So on his graduation day, he got a package this time, one that held A Great Ball, said to already have a pokemon in it, along with a ticket to take the ship outside of Snowpoint to Chromis. It told him to take matters into his own hands, and that he had waited long enough. Ryan didn’t wait for his mother’s permission this time. He waited for night to come before he set off in the dark to the ship, and soon was on his way to Chromis for his own adventure. One that he could cherish with his new pokemon.
