Name: Miharu Mizushima
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Legendary: Mewtwo
Appearance: Miharu has straight, black hair that reaches to her shoulders. When she truly gets serious, either in a Pokemon battle or a fist fight, she usually ties up her hair using chopsticks. She has blank, black eyes that are almond shaped and small, and they truly come alive during a Pokemon battle. She is about 5'8 and weighs around 110 pounds. She has fairly developed muscles and abdomen, due to traveling and her martial arts training. She is Japanese/Korean and has the skin tone of a Japanese person (and there IS a difference).
Miharu usually wears all black, since it is her favorite colour, but she may mix in the occasional blue or even red every now and then. Her clothes are usually loose and easy to maneuver in. She also wears Chinese style flats that allow her to walk around silently and are comfortable to fight and run in. She usually wears a t-shirt and cargo pants, although it depends on the weather and the seasons. She does not wear any jewelry, nor does she have any tattoos, but she does have several scars running through the length of her arms and legs, as well as a huge multitude of scars on her back.
Personality: Miharu is hyper observant with a photogenic memory and a high level of intelligence that allows her to put together "clues" in order to come up with conclusions. However, this does come with a price; due to this, Miharu's mind is always working at an extremely fast past and usually can't focus (unless in a life or death situation) on just one thing. When this happens, she usually bounces from one topic to another, often causing her strange looks as she switches topics without a bat of an eyelash. She also banters with Nightmare, Bishamon, or internally in high pressure situation, due to not being able to focus on the danger. This isn't to say that she doesn't know the situation she is in is dangerous, she just can't focus on it that well. Unless, as stated in parenthesis, in a life or death situation. She can also get sensory overload and is usually useless whenever this happens. When this hits, even the smallest noise is like a bomb going off next to her ear and even the dullest of lights could be like a flashlight in her eyes, the lightest of touches could feel like a ton of weight pressing on her, the smallest of smells can override her, and she can usually taste everything that she has had for the past two weeks. She can get migraines during sensory overloads, which makes the hearing and eyesight even worse, but can also get it regularly about every month or so.
Miharu is usually a jokester at heart, almost always seen with a grin on her face. However, she is completely sarcastic and snarky to extremes, which can allow her to gain friends or enemies with just about everyone. However, she is a fairly good liar and manipulator.
She usually doesn't like to show weakness and will, most likely, not accept help unless she is dying. And even then, she's hesitant. It isn't because she's prideful; it's just because she doesn't want to feel like a burden to anyone.
If the situation calls for it, she can be completely straight faced and not crack any jokes. This usually only happens under RARE occasions.
During battles, she is quite ingenious, able to think of tactics that most people feel that are "out of the box". Sometimes, she taunts her opponent to anger, which makes them sloppy and rash. During battles of any sort, her wit becomes sharper, her sarcasm becomes greater, her jokes (and amazingly lame puns) appear more often, and she is usually only focused on the battling. She feels that she truly comes to live during battles, physical or Pokemon.
However, due to her martial arts training, she will never try to strike an opponent first. Sure, she may annoy someone to the point of them being murderous, but she will never throw the first punch. Due to this, she can keep her temper. Well, unless human stupidity and ignorance shows itself. She also has quite the addiction of TV Tropes and the lingo sometimes, most of the time, will appear in her dialogue. She also likes to make references to some books, movies, and TV Shows. She usually likes to make references to Psych and Avatar: The Last Airbender.
History: (Taken from It Begins and Ends in the Stadium, because, quite honestly, this is the best history I have ever written.)
Miharu was born in the town of Pallet (xD) in Kanto to a single mum. Her father ran out of the family before she was even born and when Miharu found him...well, let's say that he's lying in a ditch somewhere and leave it at that. Her mother was the greatest mum Miharu could ever wish for. She was supportive, loving, kind, and taught Miharu well...until she died when Miharu was ten. Having saved a Ralts from an abusive trainer five years before, Miharu left to go on her pokemon journey to the farthest region out there; Unova.
Unova was quite strange to her. Although she had glanced at maps before (and as such, knew where to go), she had never seen any pictures and such. Being born in a fairly small town, seeing all of the large cities, at first, made her have sensory information overload. When that happened, she was disoriented as she kept capturing everything and remembering it. It gave her a huge headache, but soon she got used to the cities, she managed to filter the information so it wouldn't give her a headache. Capturing quite a few pokemon (understatement), Miharu defeated all the gyms in Unova. When she made it to the tournament afterward, she managed to get in the top thirty-two, good for her age of eleven.
After this, she moved onto Sinnoh. Sinnoh was Miharu's favorite region to go through. Along her journey, she managed to chance a meeting upon Cynthia, the champion of Sinnoh. They sparred, and, obviously, Cynthia won. However, they became close friends after that, still talking to each other and sparring occasionally. This was also the first region where she saw her first legendary pokemon. After beating all eight of the gym leaders, Cynthia asked Miharu to go check on the Turnback Cave; Cynthia was too busy preparing for the oncoming tournament and she needed someone to get check the cave out as there were many reports of disappearances from Turnback Cave. Not turning a favour down from Cynthia, Miharu went there. She managed to go through the maze, using her hyper intelligence and deductive reasoning skills. She managed to reach the end of the cave to find a portal of a sort. Miharu went in. She managed to make it to the Reverse World. As soon as she walked in, the portal closed behind her. Using her deductive reasoning skills, she concluded that she was screwed and needed to find another way out of the Reverse World. Somehow, she managed to get through and find another portal. Just as soon as she was about to go through it, Giratina appeared. Miharu tried to reason with Giratina first, but was attacked. She would have to fight a legendary pokemon to get out of there. Somehow, one of Toxicroak's Poison Jab managed to hit Giratina and sent her down for a few seconds. The few seconds was all Miharu needed and she ran out of the portal. Miharu reported this incident to Cynthia and they both, sadly, agreed that the people who disappeared were dead. After this, she went on to the tournament. She managed to make it to the semi-finals (battling a legendary pokemon is such good training), but lost, which meant that she was fourth place.
Hearing of her achievements and her friendship with Cynthia, she received an invitation to a tournament in the Almia region. She accepted and battled her way through tough eliminations, including battling Lance (the champion of Johto) and Wallace (the champion of Hoenn). She managed to make it through to the finals, having to face Cynthia. However, the night before, a terror struck the tournament. An army of Rotoms were causing mayhem and destruction. Miharu managed to stumble upon their leader, a shiny Gengar (Nightmare). They fought immediately. Most of Miharu's pokemon were at the Pokemon Center, the only one with her was Toxicroak, but it wasn't a really good match-up. Nightmare had super-effective attacks, while Toxicroak's best attacks were easily dodged. Nightmare, charging up for a Shadow Ball, suddenly aimed towards Miharu. Toxicroak was quick and was able to take the blow instead, but slamming into Miharu and making them hit parts of the walls that got tear up from the fight, which is where the multitudes of the scars on her back are from. Somehow, a master ball Miharu got from Cynthia managed to clip out of her belt and rolled over to the gleeful Nightmare. Nightmare, too happy in his win, didn't see the master ball until it clicked onto his feet and captured him. Both Miharu and Toxicroak were losing blood fast. Miharu, remaining consciousness, was able to call Cynthia who teleported to where they were, using one of her pokemon. Seeing what happened, Cynthia quickly took everyone to the pokemon center/hospital. As both Toxicroak and Miharu were recovering from their injuries, the finals were postponed. Miharu got better, but it took Toxicroak a longer time for healing. Miharu left for to battle in the finals. It was close, each of them only had one pokemon left, but when the pain suddenly grew too much, Miharu was unable to command Bishamon correctly and they were defeated by Cynthia's Garchomp. Miharu smiled through the pain and congratulated Cynthia. Cynthia frowned, then noticing that something was off with Miharu. It ended up that her stitches were torn and she had to go back to the hospital. Cynthia visited Miharu and told Miharu that Miharu would have won if she was in full health. Miharu shook her head, disagreeing. Cynthia shrugged, and left. After Toxicroak fully healed, Miharu left for Hoenn.
Hoenn was pretty much the region where Miharu tried to be the best trainer she could be to Nightmare. They had quite a lot of wacky adventures together. It was also in Hoenn when Miharu had "time-traveled" for the first time. In their room at the Pokecenter, Nightmare noticed two glowing orbs. Miharu, who was reading, hadn't notice Nightmare grabbing them until a bright light flashed and they were sent to an alternate universe where Miharu died the night Nightmare was captured, Nightmare had been killed by Cynthia, who was enraged that her friend had died. They met up with Cynthia, who had attacked them at first. However, they managed to prove that they were the real Nightmare and Miharu. Miharu wondered why they were sent there, but it was all clear when a Rotom suddenly attacked Cynthia. The Rotoms under Nightmare control had gone insane without their leader, attacking and killing everyone in sight. With Nightmare's ability to control Rotoms, they all calmed down and they were immediately sent back to their own universe. Miharu went and beat all of the gym leaders, but decided not to go to the tournament at the end of the league. Instead, she went to the Battle Frontier and proceeded to beat all of the Brains there. After that, she decided to go to Johto.
Johto was only one region away from home; and the two regions were connected. Johto was a bit more rural than Kanto, but it still felt reminiscent to home. This was also when she found out about Nightmare's life. The details of that shall remain hidden, if only to allow Nightmare some mystery. This is also where she saw Celebi. After defeating all the gyms, she was walking through Ilex Forest. Suddenly, Celebi flies in front of her, injured. A Houndoom following short after. Miharu spent a second to think of what to do, before tearing after Houndoom and Celebi. She managed to defeat the Houndoom when the Houndoom's trainer came. He was a Pokemon Hunter, and one of the best. Miharu remembered seeing him from a Most Wanted poster. Celebi, sensing the danger, sent both her (Celebi) and Miharu to the past. This time, Miharu found herself in Pallet Town, instead of Ilex Forest. It was there she met a younger Professor Oak, her mother, alive, and her father. Her mother and her father, at that time boyfriend and girlfriend, became friends with Miharu. However, her mother was kidnapped and Miharu quickly went on a rescue mission, her father coming along. Her father got injured during the battle between the kidnapper and Miharu. Miharu realized then that the reason she was there was because she needed to defeat the kidnapper. Miharu won, and her mother and father were reunited. When her father was in the hospital and her mother was by her bedside, she walked into the forest. Celebi came out and sent them back to the right time. This time, Miharu recognized the Pokemon Hunter as the person who had kidnapped her mother. She was able to beat him easy and gave him to the police. Celebi thanked Miharu, before traveling to another time. However, after this, she decided not to do the Indigo League. She decided to save it for after Kanto.
Kanto was definitely the region in which she met the most legendaries; Mewtwo, Mew, Dialga, and Palkia. Mewtwo she met in the Cerulean Cave. After defeating Misty for her second Kanto gym badge, Miharu went on to travel the Cerulean Cave. She managed to make it through to the end when she saw Mewtwo. Mewtwo immediately attacked, knocking Miharu into a wall where she managed to slam her head to the wall and passed out. She woke up to dripping water and remembered what had happened, she quickly got up, ignoring the throb of her head, and checked the surroundings. Mewtwo was gone. She met Dialga and Palkia at the same time. After winning her eighth badge, the two suddenly took her from the Pokemon Center, using a portal Palkia made. They both wanted to test Miharu for reasons that she still doesn't know. Miharu rolled her eyes and agreed. They sent her to an alternate universe where her father had never left. Miharu found that her alternate self was worse off. That Miharu, when her mother died, had been abused by her alcoholic father. Miharu, after changing her appearance, gathered evidence and proof. When Miharu told that Miharu of what she had gathered and that she could be free, that Miharu smiled. The next morning, that Miharu was dead. As soon as Miharu saw that Miharu's body, she shot herself, Palkia and Dialga brought her back to her universe and time. They told her that she had to kill her father. She still didn't know the reasons, but after seeing that, she didn't mind it at all. She managed to hunt her father down and kill him. She wasn't distraught over the loss, nor with the fact that she killed her own father. Her father wasn't a father to her; he was practically a stranger. Still, she mourned for her mother's boyfriend that had tried so hard to rescue her mother and wondered where it all went wrong. Still having some free time before the Indigo League, Miharu traveled a bit throughout Kanto. She had managed to take down an uprising criminal group that had slowly becoming amongst the likes of Team Rocket, Team Aqua, Team Magma, Team Galactic, and Team Plasma. However, she managed to miss the leader. The leader, enraged, sent an assassin after Miharu with the projects they were working on. The assassin tracked Miharu down to Mt. Silver in where they battled it out. The assassin used normal pokemon that Miharu was able to defeat with ease...Until the assassin brought out mind controlled Mewtwo and Mew. Miharu was losing, and losing badly. Against one legendary, she probably could have held her own, but against two of the strongest...Well, it wasn't possibly. Soon, it was just Nightmare, Miharu, and Bishamon left. Miharu fought the assassin head on, physically, while Bishamon fought off Mewtwo and Nightmare fought off Mew. Miharu noticed that Mewtwo and Mew didn't respond as well when the assassin was distracted and pushed her advantage. However, the assassin managed to get in a good blow that stopped Miharu for a few seconds, allowing the assassin to pin Miharu to the ground and put a knife to her throat, deciding against using the knife, and started to choke her. Seeing Miharu in trouble, Nightmare was able to defeat Mew with a well-placed, good luck, Metronome, while Bishamon still fought off Mewtwo. Nightmare Shadow Balled the assassin off of Miharu. The assassin, seeing that the Shadow Ball would kill her if she was still on Miharu, stopped choking Miharu and was able to dodge the Shadow Ball. As Miharu tried to breath, she managed to notice two pink jewels on one of the assassin's earrings. She managed to rasp out an order; Nightmare to start attacking Mewtwo so Bishamon would be able to teleport the two pink stones to her. They both followed their orders well, and the two pink jewels were in Miharu's hand. She smashed them before the assassin could stop her, and Mewtwo suddenly teleported away from Nightmare and locked the assassin psychically. The two pink jewels were the project; like how Kyogre and Groundon were controlled by the Red and Blue jewel, the two pink jewels would be able to help them to control Mewtwo and Mew. Mewtwo killed the assassin and thanked Miharu for saving himself and Mew. Miharu nodded as Mewtwo stated that he would keep in touch and Mewtwo teleported himself and the still passed out Mew away. Miharu was sent to the hospital, her pokemon were sent to a pokemon center, and after an overnight stay, she was allowed to leave. Two weeks after that was the Indigo League. Miharu managed to win the tournament, and then proceeded to go against the Elite Four and the Champion. She beat the Elite Four with ease and then it came down to the Champion VS Miharu. Each of them had one pokemon left, Bishamon and Venusaur, starter VS starter. Bishamon managed to clinch the win for Miharu and Miharu was to be the champion. However, when awarded with the champion title, she stated that she didn't want to be the champion. The champion was able to gain his title back. However, the Pokemon League begged Miharu to reconsider. Miharu stated that, if they still wanted her, after three years being the gym leader of Pallet Town, she would defeat the current champion at that time and would become the champion. They agreed. She was sixteen at the time.
Having been a gym leader for two years now, Miharu is very on her way close to the end of her deal.
