Technically classifies as an "Average" trainer due to the Pokemon he carries, however he himself would be classified as an Advanced with his old team.
Name: Hiram Terran Rhymes
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Physical Description: Hiram's habit of keeping constantly on the move has given him little time to pay attention to details such as his hair. As such, his medium length dirty blonde hair stays ruffled most of the time. However, he does make sure to keep clean, so thats no worry. His bright, emerald green eyes show the strength of a truly dedicated trainer, and seem to shine whenever he gives off his usual cocky smirk.
He wears a very simple bright blue T-shirt, which are adorned with all of his badges from past gym battles. For the most part, though, it cant be seen. Over this, he wears a white Lionheart jacket, that is, a leather jacket lined with fur at the top to give the appearance of a lion's mane.
For the lower half of his body, he wears a simple pair of white jeans and a brown leather belt to which his Pokeballs are fastened to. His blue velcro-strapped sneakers barely fit on his feet, however he has no difficulty running in them.
Personality: Hiram Rhymes is a guy who cant keep his nose out of other people's business. Often feeling like he holds on his shoulders the fate of the world, he throws himself into dangerous situations to protect people he often doesn't even know. He connects well with his Pokemon, most of the time knowing exactly what goes through their heads. Being a part of the Elite Trainer society, hes often very cocky about his skills. However, he never denies the possible strength of his opponents. A normally very jolly and passionate trainer, Hiram is a guy who you could trust with your very life.
Region From: Ecruteak, Johto
Region Currently In: Kanto. Having difficulty getting about with a lower-level team of Pokemon.
History: Hiram hails from Ecruteak City in Johto, where he began his adventure at the age of 10 with a Rhyhorn his father had recently captured in the Safari Zone. While Hiram never had been interested in the Pokemon League challenge, he did at first immediately go for the gym leader Morty, and was struck down rather quickly. Such a common beginning gave most of the towns folk the impression that there was nothing spectacular about this kid. Hiram strived to be different, and kept himself busy battling other trainers, catching new Pokemon, and simply enjoying seeing the world.
Over the years, he had established a powerhouse team: A Rhyperior, a Gallade, an Absol, a Charizard, a Gyrados, and a Manectric. He stomped down trainers that challenged him left and right, and played the vigilante often when he spotted criminals. It was due to his desire to help in situations that had nothing to do with him that he lost his best of friends.
During a stroll through Fuschia, he happened to run across a strange Pokemon at a pond side. This Pokemon looked to be some sort of mix of many other Pokemon; a product of gene splicing. This aside, it also looked to be incredibly ill, so he quickly captured it and took it to a nearby Pokemon Center. The center called some Silph scientists to investigate. Feeling the need to stay close by, he stepped out and walked around the block.
He discovered some bratty kids kicking a Magikarp around, and gave them a long lecture on the worth of every Pokemon, weak or strong. Sending them away, he simply tossed a ball at the Magikarp, catching it with ease, then headed back to the Pokemon center. Hey, cant leave the poor thing sitting there.
Upon his return, he realized that the Silph scientists had arrived. He quickly rushed into the room where they were, only to have the door slam shut and lock behind him. Sleep gas was released, and everything faded for him. Awakening within what appeared to be a prison cell, he realized his Pokemon were gone, and he had no clue where he was. After several hours, he found a weak bar, kicked his way through the cell, and made a run for it.
Dodging security, he made his way from room to room, making it into a computer room. Although he was looking for his Pokemon, some info would've been great. Looking through a few files, he learned he was in a cloning facility for an organization known as ZEUS, and that the creature he had brought in was a failed attempt at splicing together an Abra and a Machop. After reading up all he could without a password, he continued sneaking about, running across five Pokemon eggs in cases, and of course, snatching them. He wasnt about to let them become part of some freaky cloning experiment.
Finally coming across his Rhyperior, Kinion, he continued scouring the facility for the rest of his Pokemon. It wasnt long before he was located, and one of the admins, a cliche hooded and cloaked figure, came to meet him. Introducing himself by the name Epiphany, the admin challenged him to a battle and stomped him with an unknown cloned Pokemon. Hiram made a run for it, but was surrounded, and Kinion was stolen from him. He was then drugged, and thrown back out onto the streets of Fuschia, spared because he "put up a good fight."
His beloved Pokemon stolen from him, he's vowed to find Epiphany and eliminate ZEUS. Aiding him are his new team; the five Pokemon he rescued from the facility and the Magikarp he saved that day.
Main Pokemon:
Name/Nickname: Leviathan
Species: Magikarp
Gender: Male
Description and Personality: Leviathan is not one to be taken lightly. He is by all physical standards a normal Magikarp, however dont let that fool you. He's been passed on from young trainer to young trainer, and every time hes been abused and thrown away for being useless. It wasnt until he was found by Hiram that Leviathan truly got a name and purpose. Wishing to prove himself worthy of the trainer who was so kind to him, Leviathan gives a hell of a fight for a Magikarp. He never gives up in battle; where most Magikarps would flop about and panic, he pushes himself beyond his limits and often throws himself at the enemy. While clearly not the strongest of Hiram's Pokemon, he has the biggest will to win.
"Well I suppose I cant just keep calling you Magikarp can I? Hm... I got it. The mighty lord of the sea, Leviathan. It fits!"
Name/Nickname: Seiryu
Species: Dratini
Gender: Female
Description and Personality: Seiryu, like all of Hiram's Pokemon, looks like a normal Dratini. And for the most part is. Seiryu doesnt like to fight, and is a very peaceful and shy Pokemon. She has a preference for eating and drinking bitter things, such as green tea; a trait she shares with her trainer. She seems to admire the determination of her trainer and of her comrades... she just cant seem to find the spirit in her to stand against such frightening enemies. Only when one of her friends are harmed will she fight.
"Aw.. such gentle, glimmering eyes... I'll call you Seiryu, the Azure Dragon."
Name/Nickname: Zirnitra
Species: Swablu
Gender: Male
Description and Personality: Zirnitra, like the rest of Hiram's Pokemon, has the appearence of a normal Swablu. Zirnitra is a bit of a loner, he prefers to stay away from the other Pokemon when he gets the chance. He's very lazy, often sleeping on Hiram's head when left outside of his Pokeball. However, when hes pit against an enemy, he doesnt hold back. He. Will. Peck. Your. Frickin. Eyes. Out. He really does love the rest of Hiram's team, he just cant stand to be around them.
"Heh. Dont you ever get lonely up there? Acting all high and mighty... I'll name you Zirnitra, after the dragon god of sorcery."
Name/Nickname: Fafnir
Species: Gible
Gender: Male
Description and Personality: Fafnir, like the rest of Hiram's Pokemon, has the appearence of a normal Gible. He's a very sneaky, bratty Pokemon who loves stealing trinkets and food from other people. While often punished, he never seems to break out of this habit. In battle, Fafnir dances about cockily, brushing off even some of the most painful hits hes taken almost like nothing. One wouldent be able to tell if Fafnir's almost down until he drops.
"Ugh, greedy little thing arent ya? Ive got the perfect name for you. Fafnir, the dragon of greed."
Name/Nickname: Zilant
Species: Bagon
Gender: Female
Description and Personality: Zilant, like the rest of Hiram's Pokemon, has the appearance of a normal Bagon. She has a tiny bit of an anger issue, and half the time attacks before Hiram even gives her a command. If there was ever a Pokemon to rival Leviathan's will, it'd be Zilant. She refuses to accept defeat in any battle, and very often has to be forced back by Hiram to avoid getting herself killed. This persevering heart comes from every Bagon's deep-imprinted desire to fly; she feels the stronger she becomes, the closer she'll get to that goal.
"I can see you soaring the skies someday. Zilant, the winged beast, you will fly higher than any."
Name/Nickname: Pyrausta
Species: Trapinch
Gender: Female
Description and Personality: Pyrausta, like the rest of Hiram's Pokemon, has the appearence of a normal Trapinch. She is a relatively calm Pokemon, and loves to take her time in whatever she does. Except eating. She will clear a city of its food within minutes if allowed. In battle, she often thinks as much as Hiram himself, and comes up with her own plans. This includes the digging of numerous traps often.
"And then theres you. Huh. Trapinches always have baffled me.. I suppose this wouldent be fitting now, but eventually. Pyrausta sounds good."
Extra Pokemon: None
