Pokemon Gijinka Academy ( Revived )

[Rafael p]

Welcome to Pokemon Gijinka Academy (PGA for short,) a huge school campus located on an island off the coast of the Unova region. The academy is refuge to Pokemon gijinkas. It is a place where they can meet others like themselves, as well as hone and learn to use their abilities, as well as get a regular education (there are regular classes here too.) A Pokemon gijinka, is a human who is born with a Pokemon soul. It is not not yet known why these humans are born like this, however as a result, they are able to communicate with the species of Pokemon whose soul they share. They can also use that Pokemon's abilities, and in some cases they recieved some of the physical characteristics of that Pokemon. The academy is home to many gijinkas young and old. Few people know of it's existence. The academy has been around for decades, and has been able to be a secret for so long due to the presence of a few kind humans in the world.

However, society in general fears gijinkas. They are considered abominations and freaks of nature. Some parents send there children here out of shame after finding out their child is a gijinka. There are also humans who wish to capture gijinkas and use them for malicious purposes, as though they were a regular Pokemon. There are even some gijinkas who wish to use their powers for selfish deeds. However, the school has usually been good at spotting those with ill intentions.

Some gijinkas, save for their powers, and in some cases hair or eye color, can pass for "Normal" humans. There are others however who aren't so fortunate. They have the physical traits of a Pokemon, or have difficulty controlling their powers. It gives them away as gijinkas immediately. These type of gijinkas rarely leave the island.

The academy building, where classes take place, is a large nondescript building that's several stories tall. P.E. classes, are held either outside in a field set up for it behind the building, or in a small gymnasium nearby. Next to the campus on either side, are the towers for the boys and girls dormitories respectively. A walking distance away, there is the Academy Village. Despite being called a village, it is as big as a regular town, and contains all the things towns do. Including a movie theatre, several restaurants a shopping mall, and more. The island itself is tropical, there is a beach with swimmable oceans, and a large rainforest. Wild Pokemon do live on the island. These Pokemon are not allowed to be captured by anyone. They are usually studied in their natural habitat for the science classes.

Looks nice! May I join?

Name: Nicka Maple
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Appearance: Because a picture speaks more than a thousand words: http://i427.photobucket.com/albums/p...0/a0ed51e9.jpg
Personality: Nicka is mostly referred to as impulsive, hyperactive, strong but very sweet. She has trouble with making friends and ocasionally stands in the background, but once you are her friend, she'll do everything for you. Nicka does not quite know what she wants to do with her life, thinks a lot when alone, but acts impulsively in public. This might cause her environment to think of her as weird, but it's just how she is. She thinks that people simply have to deal with her abnormal behavior. Nicka is not somebody who simply gives all her life secrets away, and is good at keeping secrets in general. Despite being kind, Nicka has a somewhat mischievous characteristic and she often comes up with the most preposterous ideas. Her Mew, Rosie, is her best friend and they are inseperable. Nicka loves to fly, it gives her the freedom she wants, although she isn't very skilled at it yet.
History: Nicka had always been a very healthy child. She played with friends, climbed trees and built complete tree houses as well. She was extremely inventive and had a lot of knowledge. She was that carefree, until it became clear that she was a gijinka one day, when a tail had grown out of her backside overnight. Her parents were simply desperate and sent her to this school. Nicka didn't like the idea of being sent away, and ran away the night before departure. That was when she met her partner Rosie. Unfortunately, her parents found her not long after that and she was sent to the PGA immediately.
Pokemon: Rosie the Mew
Abilities: Nicka does not know many moves, except for Flamethrower, which she fires out of her hand, and Fly. She tries her best to learn more attacks and ways for her to fight effectively.
Other: Nicka is actually afraid of fire, but has to deal with it.

Pokemon

Name: Rosie
Species: Mew
Gender: Female
Appearance: I'm not great at this, so here's a picture to illustrate a little. http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/o...gijinkamew.jpg (The Mew next to the Gijinka)
Personality: Rosie, unlike Nicka, is calm, overthinks her actions before setting it into motion and doesn't like to fight. She's skilled in every move she masters. Rosie is often concerned about Nicka's safety, since she is always on the move, climbing trees and doing things that others might consider dangerous. Rosie prefers a leafy environment and loves to sleep. She has the habit of not knowing where to start when she has to do something big.
Moves: Psychic, Fly, Thunder, Synthesis

I'm sorry if legendaries aren't allowed, but I simply love Mew gijinka's. I don't own the pictures either.

Working on it...

Name: Sly Cooper
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Personality: Sly is considered to be a master thief. He has problems making friends due to his secretive nature. He'll rush head first into a fight without thinking it over for even a single moment. Sly hates loud noise while he's thinking. He can't stand it too long before he throws something at the cause of it. He hates any type of romantic act around him for reasons unknown, and he always secludes himself away from everybody on Valentine's Day or holidays like it. Sly tends to sleep in often, and hates being woken up early. Some people think Sly is a slacker, although, he's really productive, which might be able to explain why he often sleeps in. Under first impression, Sly appears to be a mysterious and secretive person who keeps away from people, but if you get to know him, he's far different.
History: As a kid, Sly was a thief, but he only stole things from kids his age. His parents were master thieives, and they wanted his son to be one as well. Sly was trained to be a master thief until the age of ten. His parents finally learned that Sly was a gijinka, and they abandoned him to go on an international hiest. Sly was left to fend for himself, stealing food and water from people just to survive.
Pokemon: Serperior
Abilities: Sly is able to use two blades, doubling his use of Leaf Blade by using his blades.

[The Noob Hacker]

Name: Sten Dabras
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Appearance: For the most part, Sten takes on the appearance of a normal person. There are however, a few things that draw attention to him. Firstly, his eyes, always flicking about from on place to another at incredibly fast rates, take on a piercing crimson color, almost seeming to be lit from behind like a turned on light bulb, his hair is the color of steel, and seems to be just as reflective. The only other physical differences between him and others are not as easily noticeable, for example, Sten's skin and bones are slightly harder than that of a normal person, making it harder, but only slightly so, to harm him, breaking one of his bones would be near impossible for a normal person to do, however. Lastly, Sten is far taller and has a more muscular physique than other boys of his age. (although that's due almost entirely the Pokémon soul he was born with) At the age of fourteen, Sten stands nearly as tall as the average eighteen-year-old, making it very hard for anyone to recognize him as his proper age. Even those who do know the boy's true age often forget it and believe him to be older.

Those traits aside, Sten appears much like the average person. His skin is light, though it has tanned due to the tropical nature of his environment. Normally, he wears simply collard shirts, jeans, and tennis shoes.

Personality: Sten has the partial brain power of a Metagross, a Pokémon of near super-computer intellect with four separate brains. Sten, still being somewhat human, can't possibly handle such computing power, but he still does have the gift of brain activity more advanced than that of the average man. The young man's mind works quick, and he is always seeking new data. His emotional responses always arrive quickly and are short-lived, he is able to gain an at least basic understanding of a person at a speed that is almost frightening, he can scan and process his surroundings very quickly, which gives him great awareness, he can focus his vision on things even if they are far away like a camera. Those abilities, coupled with psychic powers and durability found in a Metagross could make Sten a very scary enemy. If he so chose, the boy could indeed become a very powerful villain, so long as he would make humans his only prey. Yet, he doesn't. He collects data about people, things, situations, and just makes note of it, never to really bring it up again. The boy just seems happy to have gotten the knowledge, no matter how trivial it seems. His thirst for knowledge makes Sten's curiosity seem more like him just prying for every little detail, which turns a lot of people away from trying to know the boy who seems perfectly content just looking at a room and observing the rate at which dust particles fall to the ground. With a near-photographic memory, Sten can prove to be a valuable source of knowledge, be it random facts, something about a person, or the answer to a homework question from three weeks ago. At the same time, it can also make Sten a valuable friend, who will remember most things that people have done for him in the past, and more likely to return the favor. In a third way, this also means that Sten is one to hold a nasty grudge, the worst part being that he would not end the grudge until it has been made up for in some way, Sten is not one to simply "drop" an issue.

Yet, for all of his strengths, Sten still has his problems, he is still human. Humanity, that is an issue that divides Sten deeply. On one hand, his Pokémon soul gives him a great wealth of power and ability for understanding, while it also makes him an outcast that is unwanted by society. He can claim that his physical oddities are causes of mere mutation or rare chance, but that will never be the truth, and he will know it. The wrong knowledge always corrupts data, corrupted data leads to inaccurate results, inaccurate results lead to misconceptions, false predictions, and ultimately more lies to further corrupt the data pool. If he were able to, he would wish to simply tell everyone of his true nature, yet the prospect of being surrounded by hate, misunderstanding, and fear almost make the corrupt data appealing. Sten does not resent himself as a Gijinka, and would not give up that side of him for anything. He does not hate people for their fear of him, their beliefs, while misplaced and based more on superstition than fact, do line up, given the history of humans and their fears. He simply wishes the circumstances may be somehow different, which Sten knows can not be possible. Often, the boy considers that he may not ever leave the Academy at all. He knows that this is highly probable, yet he does not find the prospect appealing. Scientifically, the island is a paradise, filled with diverse species and the ever diverse Gijinka, which can provide an adequate amount of the same interest that the human way of thinking contains, something that Sten is intent on one day analyzing. However, Sten also realizes that, asides from the people and Pokémon, which he may or not even be able to observe considering the stern restrictions on them and the people, the island has nothing much for him. The environment is homogeneous, and what would he do? Surely he could not simply do schoolwork forever, he would eventually finish it. Besides, that prospect bores him, not because he doesn't like schoolwork, but because there is not enough of it and it often doesn't reflect a real-world scenario whatsoever. Not enough constant variables to be observed, always focusing on bits instead of the whole big picture. Yet Sten also could never teach, any students he may have would work far too slow for him, too accustomed to the unrealistic work of other teachers.

History:
Sten was born to a wealthy family. His parents were among the most elite of the elite, and had many high connections be it with political figures or movie stars. For the longest time, they seemed to live a life without worry, able to live comfortably while barely having to lift a finger that's not in their leisure. Then, they had Sten. Sure, his odd hair and eye color were off putting, not to mention he was larger than a normal baby, but his parents took pride in that, much like how one would be prideful of a rare gem. They claimed him to be the product of perfection and his oddities were something to be admired. His infant years, which even Sten can't remember well, went about not unlike that of a normal child. One memory, no matter how young he was at the time, stands out clearly in Sten's mind even today.

A very young Sten was roaming about the play area of his parent's mansion that he, and the other celebrity, children were confined to. Only two couples were supervising the kids, those being Sten's parents and another couple, surely the parents of another of the children with Sten. The two couples were speaking among themselves about something Sten was far to young to understand or care about. The young Gijinka was sitting near the edge of the small fence that marked off the play area. Just on the other side of that fence was a large, pink rubber ball that Sten himself had carelessly thrown out of the area. (not one of his proudest moments, even as a baby.) Even at his age, Sten had some basic understanding of things, just maybe not quite language, or walking (which at the time he was getting the hang of, but couldn't quite find the perfect technique) The boy knew that when something was spilled or dropped, someone was to put it back or clean it up, whichever the case may be. He knew this due to the many times he had spilled over his own food, a habit he was soon to control and break, or when something was thrown outside the play area, as was now. In those cases, a maid would clean up the mess or an adult would place the toy back in the area. This had not yet happened, nor seemed to be happening anytime soon. Sten wanted desperately to have the ball back in the play area, it just wouldn't seem right otherwise. Alas, the boy was unable to put it back due to the fence blocking his path. Then, for whatever reason, the boy decided to imagine the ball being put back, imagine harder and more deeply than he ever had before, if he had at all until that point. Gasps were sounded and glasses were dropped as the deeply concentrated boy began to be enveloped in a very slight blue glow, the ball having the same mysterious energy, and slowly and shakily being lifted into the air. The sound of dropping glasses made the boy break concentration and abruptly stop. That was the first time Sten had ever felt the rush of psychic energy throughout his body, the first time he had used his power. However, Sten does not assign pride to this, nor does he the first time he does anything. After all, the first time will always be your worst attempt, and he never did get the ball into the play area.

What happened days following Sten was unsure. The only part of the haze that is clear would turn out to be his last moments with his parents. The young boy could see the two who had raised him (with the help of the rest of the employees of the manor) He was in someone's arms, in a carrier of some sort. Who carried him, the boy knew not, only that they did not appear in any of his previous memories. His parents said nothing as he was carried away to be sent to the Academy.

The rest of the boy's days until the present have been not unlike those of any other Academy student, almost normal had Gijinkas not already been an extreme minority. He had few, if any relations with other students, but the boy seemed content with most everything regardless. He gave brief, unemotional answers when asked question, even about his past, a thing most would keep secret if they could remember it. When asked if he hates his parents for their decision, Sten recalls the only part of the memory that seems to have any significant meaning to the boy. His parents were crying as he left. Sten knew not why, as the circumstances of his leaving were unclear, but he was fairly certain that his parents were at least somewhat resentful that he was being taken away, seeming to imply they had not wished for him to go, since him leaving or otherwise removed would be the easiest solution to their problem, he assumes they must have fought it in favor of a more difficult situation, likely one where he would still be with them. That line of thinking, while based on assumption and not proof, is at least somewhat comforting, if that sort of thing had any meaning to Sten. Does he wish that things might have turned out differently and the he still be with his family? Sten cannot say, as he does not know what would have happened had he not have gone to the Academy. It might have been better, it may have been worse. Either way, the past is the past. Archived data. The problem Sten presented has already been solved and cannot be reevaluated, whether that be good or bad, Sten has no place to say.

Pokémon: Metagross
Abilities: The only real ability that Sten obtained was the psychic power of Metagross, not the strength. He can use the energy in a multitude of ways, so it at least has some utility. From lifting objects to damaging enemies, Sten possesses a wide range of uses for his powers, while still not having the elemental or physical prowess of his Pokémon. As such, Sten can either be highly useful or not in a fight, depending on the situation, yet for more casual use, he can be rather applicable to most situations.

Other: Sten prefers to avoid fights if he can. His highly curious nature can cause him to become very distracted and entirely focused on one thing if it interests him or if he does not understand it.

Pokémon

Name: Cardinal (As in Cardinal directions)
Species: Metang
Gender: None (Though it has a masculine voice)
Appearance: If anything, the Metang resembles Sten quite well, mostly in its red eyes, which are far brighter than Sten's, and move more quickly. Besides that Cardinal is a fairly ordinary Metang, though perhaps its spikes and claws are a bit dull.

Personality: Cardinal is able to observe and analyze data far faster than Sten will ever be able to. However, it has a hard time trying to put these ideas into words, and finds it even harder to communicate them. For these reasons, it does not normally try to explain a situation to Sten, for it is sure that he will figure it out on his own and knows that if it were to try, it would completely overload Sten's brain. Cardinal is very subconscious about itself and tries its best to regulate its speech, which it does so telepathically with Sten (this form of speech will only work if the two are withing a few hundred feet, and becomes more and more hard to do so the further away they are) to a low rate, no matter how much it annoys it. Also, Cardinal tries to use words that are easier to understand, not because it fears that Sten will not comprehend, merely because that is what Sten does when he is around others. For that reason, Cardinal may not always use the best word to describe something, even if it is the first thing it thinks of.

While Sten does still have human emotions and uses them (although he does so rarely and not for very long, due to fast emotional possessing) Cardinal is all but completely without emotion unless the circumstances are the most dire. Where Sten can still jump to conclusions, sometimes even be judgmental or biased, Cardinal always has a clean conscious. It can analyze every aspect of an individual, but never form an opinion of it. For this reason, Cardinal often guides Sten if it judges that the boy is letting himself get in the way of proper analysis. Cardinal can still have preferences, though, and it especially enjoys music.

Overall, Cardinal simply thinks more like a computer than Sten. Sten often describes things for himself, Cardinal uses universal numbers to make computations and conclusions based upon data. Because of this, Cardinal always has to translate numbers into words, causing his speech to be slow at times (though it can find the right words very quickly, however with its quirk of speaking slow and using easier words, it does often take it awhile to from responses) Cardinal likes to use numbers in lieu of descriptions or vague terms, loving to be as precise as he can with his calculations.

Most of the time, Cardinal ends up using itself as a sort of external hard drive for memories used by Sten. It has a better memory than Sten and is better at picking up more details, while Sten may be better at getting a feel for one's personality, while Cardinal is still superior at noticing slight movements such as twitches or the like. Because of its advanced memory and capacity for data, Cardinal has been banned from classrooms to make sure Sten isn't cheating. (Not like Sten ever needed to cheat.)

Still, Sten doesn't consider Cardinal a mere memory tool, and Cardinal does not consider Sten a mere user of his services. While the two don't exactly have an emotional bond, they still consider themselves partners, if nothing at least in science. Cardinal, not one to make guesses, has high expectations for Sten both as a human and as a Pokémon. Cardinal always helps Sten perfect his abilities. Overall, the two mesh well together and rarely disagree on anything except the outcome of an experiment, where Cardinal is usually right.

Moves: Psychic, Light Screen, Reflect, Meteor Mash

Name: Shiori Hojo
Age: 13
Gender: Female
Appearance:

Spoiler:

Personality: Shiori is a very kind girl but she can also be shy. She normally avoids eye contact with people she's just met because it makes her feel vulnerable. She'll be pretty shy around new people until she opens up but once she gets to know someone she'll make eye contact. To her friends Shiori is extremely helpful and caring. She can't hide her emotions because they can be seen clearly through her eyes. Over all things Shiori loves to read and draw and she hates water not knowing how to swim. Unlike other ghost types she hates to scare people.

History: As a young girl Shiori was never allowed to play with any of the other kids and was stuck inside her parents manor. Her parents where very disappointed that the only child they where able to have was a gijinka. Finally when Shiori was nine years old she had enough of being a disappointment and ran away from home in the dead of night. After a few days of wandering she came across an old dilapidated house on the edge of town and went inside. After searching she found a family of Chandelure, Lampent, and Litwick that took her in as their own even though she was a Gijinka. Over the next few years Shiori grew closer to one of the Chandelure. When she turned 13 she was almost found by a group of humans and so she went to the Gijinka Academy for safety.

Name:
Roman Townsend
Age:
15
Gender:
Male
Appearance:
Roman was born with the characteristics of an Ampharos. Despite his dominantly human appearance, there are some starkly obvious features about him that give him away. He possesses ears and a tail that are yellow with black bands, similar to those of an Ampharos, along with the light-giving orbs on the tip of his tail and forehead.

He has a fairly slender and fragile build, standing at a small height of 5'4", and nearly borders underweight with only 116 lbs. He's not very large, nor is he athletic. He possesses a somewhat light skin colour, but not pale. It may even border a somewhat yellowish colour, which stays much in line with the colouration on an Ampharos. He appears much younger than he should for his age. His youthful appearance and rather short size making him seem a bit younger than he is.

He has a relatively round face. His cheeks are full, and they have a little bit of a juvenile red blush to them. His eyes are calm and down-turned and give a comforting vibe to his face. His eyes are a dark brown colour. His hair colour is a near yellow blond, that largely resembles the colouration of an Ampharos. He keeps his hair at medium length in somewhat messy curls. At the front, he make sure his hair doesn't reach any lower than at his eyebrows, while at the back, he keeps them at collar-length.
Personality:
Despite his troublesome childhood, he tries to keep an optimistic viewpoint, however difficult that may prove to be. He is shy and introverted, and has trouble making friends with other people after his sheltered past. He is polite when spoken to, though, and rarely loses his temper. He has a tolerant demeanor, and rarely ever feels hatred for a single person or thing. His natural curiosity of things can often lead him into troubling situations, which he then has to struggle to get out of. He's easily afraid of things, but tries to not lose his calm and does his best to find an efficient way to solve any problem he faces.
History:
Because of his difference from most other human beings, his parents kept him very much sheltered from the rest of the world. They were more or less afraid of how other people would react to him, and they didn't want him to face such hardships simply for whom he was. Thus, Roman made very few friends. However, it was unavoidable for his parents to keep him sheltered from the outside world forever. When he was about to reach school age, they just didn't know at all what to do. They were afraid that Roman would become ostracised at school, alienated and bullied for his ampharos-like appearance. They opted to home school him. They assumed that out of all options, this would keep him the safest. One of the few friends he did have was his cousin who sometimes came over. Initially, she mistook Roman for an actual pokémon, untill she found out that Roman was a Gijinka. However, that did not keep her from remaining good friends with him.

One day, when the two were playing tag outside, Roman somehow managed to get himself lost in a dark wooded area a fair bit away from his home. Unable to find his way home, he aimlessly searched around, hoping to find the edge of the woods. But with the sun setting, it soon became too dark for him to continue, and he started to worry that he wouldn't be able to find his way back again. He tried to use his tail's light as a beacon to signify where he was, but the dim untrained light provided little use, than a comfort to him from the dark. His attention was quickly turned upon a bright light he saw. Overjoyed to see it, he ran towards it, hoping it was coming from a streetlight. Instead, it was an Ampharos, who resided in the forest, noticed the faint light coming from Roman and thus decided to investigate it. The Ampharos seemed thoroughly confused at the sight of a human with his appearance, and Roman became even more confused when he could understand what the Ampharos was saying. After a brief explanation, the Ampharos promised him he would bring him back home again, and using his much stronger lights from the orbs on his forehead and tail, signalled Roman's location, which was eventually picked up by an officer Jenny, who was patrolling the streets of Ecruteak city when she noticed the light beam shooting up into the sky. When she found Roman and wanted to return him to his parents, the Ampharos opted to come with them as well, wanting to stay with him untill the moment he'd come back home. The officer Jenny somewhat reluctantly let him, and soon enough returned Roman to his worried parents. Roman was ever so grateful to the Ampharos who helped him find his way back home, and told his parents all about the ordeal.

He and the Ampharos, whom Roman affectionately referred to as Amph, continued to have contact with one another from that fateful day. He began to see Amph as a protective big brother of his, who comforted him in times of need, but more importantly, provided him with a friend who was ready for him at all times. When Roman reached the age of 8, his parents knew that they couldn't home school him forever. He clearly needed a place where he could be among people like himself to develop some social skills and to develop into a relatively normal person. They had to opt to send him to the academy, where he could develop and hopefully be able to control his form. Roman was devastated when the news hit him, not wanting to go all the way to Unova without his parents, but there were no other options available, and he had to realise, it would be the only place where he could be safe from the rest of society.

Along with his best friend Amph, he went to the academy. The first years there were hard on him. He kept himself secluded, unable to handle the social stresses after having spent his first 8 years of life in relative isolation from the rest of the world. As the years progressed, he became more comfortable with being around other people, though, but also, along with those years, he distanced himself further from his parents, especially his father, who he knew was so disappointed about his son not ever being able to fit into society. He turned to the world of artistry to vent out his pent up emotions. Drawing became a passion of his which he just wouldn't let go of.
Pokemon:
Ampharos
Abilities:
He can let the red orbs on his tail and forehead glow to illuminate his surroundings. The light isn't very strong, but it provides him with some comfort when it's dark around him. Sometimes, uncontrollable sparks of energy crackle from his body. While harmless, he believes that if he could direct them properly, it could become a powerful tool.
Other:
He is a vegetarian.

You will have a Pokemon. Only one per character. It will be the same species as you are. It can speak human speech, but only you or any other gijinkas of the same species (This includes evolutionary families) can understand it.

I have a question, is the Pokemon you have the same Pokemon your character is or can it be of the same evolutionary family.

I think you can, given that the noob hacker has a Metang, while he himself in the sign up stated that his character has some of the characteristics of a Metagross.

[Meganium90]

Are there any spots left for this RP? I'd like to hand in my reservation if it's possible. :3

I think my SU...is going to be a bit obvious. xD

[Pokemonmaster_draco]

I wana lay down a suggestion. Does anyone think that we need classified dorms, classes, gyms, pinpoints and locations on the island? Also having the different pokemons at different location specified for example when in use for research or school projects??

@Magenium: you can join. Build you SU, i think there's no limit for the character.(I THINK)

[gusfromholland]

I agree. Sounds really good!

[pokeman10000]

agreed, sound pretty cool

[EGKangaroo]

I also agree with this. Basically, a sort of map of the island could be very useful, or a description of just where you can find what.

[~Genevieve~]

Finished my sign up :3 hope it's good

[Rafael p]

[Pokemonmaster_draco]

Name: Kyle Tyson
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Spoiler:

Personality: Kyle is best described as a kind and well mannered boy. He is not a silent type boy but he does tend to keep his mouth shut when he is not spoken to. Many see Kyle as a 'childish' person but unfortunately, the're wrong. Kyle is somewhat a smart and intelligent teenager and will mostly help when it's needed.

Kyle has a preferance of finding new information about his 'unstable' self and mostly about different pokemon species. He has a vast knowledge about some pokemon and he will not stop at any cost before he gets the pokemon's trust. Kyle is also a frigile boy but not timid. He doesn't like to fight or hurt anybody but if truely tempted or needs to, Kyle will fight. He cares a lot about Spark and will truely honor him and respect him as a friend.
History: Kyle was born in the outskirts of Snowpoint City. His parents were wealthy and they prior themselves living with a high reputation. As Kyle came to be, they observed curiously the reason he was born with two yellow ears and one small yellow tail. They then came to the conclusion of keeping him hidden from the rest of the world thus Kyle gained no freedom whatsoever.

As years went by Kyle's parents became more concerned, for it was time he gains education which meant nothing more than freedom to Kyle's ears. Though that was not the case. His parents sent Kyle to Unova to live with his aunt, Jenny, for she was a pokemon professor and researcher.

Unlike Kyle, Jenny was glad to see Kyle. She wanted to see with her own eyes how 'inhuman' like he was. As expected, she was fascinated by the physical appearance of Kyle, and thus ran a research work on why did Kyle recieve his abornormal pokemon and human looks. As Kyle stayed with her, he studied the books that Jenny owned and amused himself by the experiments and reactions that was being tested by Jenny.

Two whole year went by and Jenny ended her research which confessed that Kyle was a pure born Gijinka. She had heard of it and as she was aware that Kyle wouldn't fit in modern society, she signed him up for the academy, and also rewarded him with a male Pikachu, for the two years they spent together. They said farewells and joyfully, Kyle went to the academy when he was 10. Its been now 4 years and he has been enjoying himself.
Pokemon: Pikachu
Abilities: He has a fast knowledgable thinking mind which gets impowered by his pokemon hormones making thinking a really high rate.

He also has small electrical electrons which flows around his outside body causing small uninjured electrical shock to anyone who touches him. (The electrons cannot be seen by human eyes)

When in a fight, he concentrate most of the electrical components in his body directly at his fists, thus creating an orb of electricty on his hands which can thoroughly shoot electricity beams at the opponent.
Other:

Pokemon

Name: Spark
Species: Pikachu
Gender: Male
Appearance: He has the appearance of any sort of male pikachu but what makes him different is a blue scarf he wears around his neck. He is at an average pikachu sized height and for some reason, some of his forehead fur spikes up.
Personality: He honors Kyle with the utmost respect as a trainer being with its partner but even though the matter, he shares the same feelings as Kyle has for him. He personally never lets any anonymous character approach Kyle and also he also holds a curious personality.

When it comes to battle/fight, spark surely would accept the challenge without hesitation and he will strive until he wins. He tends to not back down to anything he does and he will make sure to make the most out of it.
Moves: Thunder, Agility, Iron Tail, Shockwave
