[PKMN FULL] Keystones [T] [OOC/SU]

[for him.]

I was trying to resist the temptation, but I can't. D:

I would like to reserve a spot for Medichamite.

Nevermind. I want to change that to Absolite. ;D

 

[aceattorneyweirdgirl]

Alright, you're reserved. Like everyone else, you've got three days.

On a related note, all slots are filled! ...or they were, until I added two more. But this will be the final time I expand the roster, so if anyone misses out now, they probably won't get another chance.

Also, I finished my signup.

Name: Daniel Archman

Gender: Male

Age: 24

Appearance: Standing at around 180-ish cm, Daniel is above-average in height. He is lean, but not completely lacking in any significant muscle mass. His skin is fairly pale, enough that it is questionable how often he stays inside during the day. His blonde hair is messy, unkempt, and a little longer than he'd like – he's considered getting it cut a little shorter several times. His nose is very small, almost button-like, and his eyes are a rich brown in colour.

As far as clothing goes, Daniel's tastes are fairly practical. He generally wears simple, single-colour T-shirts with no fancy patterns or branding and plain jeans, and can often be seen in his thick, grey jacket, which contains several pockets. After starting his journey, he has been wearing a pair of brown hiking boots instead of his plain leather work shoes, and carrying a matching backpack for his supplies.

Mega Stone: Venusaurite

Personality: Daniel always considered himself a bit of an introvert after his somewhat different interests as a child set him apart from his peers. The fact of the matter, though, is that this just isn't true – he actually quite likes social interaction, and was quite troubled to be unable to have fun with other kids. This makes him sometimes a little awkward when it comes to conversation. He is extremely disorganized, has a thing for procrastination, and his backpack is an utter mess, but he can understand when something is important to someone and will try not to get in their way.

Though it takes him a little time to warm up to people, he'll try to make it as entertaining as possible. He has very sarcastic sense of humour, generally chiming in with a pithy remark of some sort – though sometimes they're not exactly appreciated. Among closer friends (Usually his Pokémon) he can be far more light-hearted, tossing around puns, mangled metaphors and other assorted wordplay.

He has a somewhat sour attitude to others when he doesn't know them well, and has an instinctive distrust of authority, generally regarding anyone in charge to be undeserving of their role until they prove themselves otherwise. In addition, despite having been a skilled IT technician, he really isn't one for plans and would rather wing it, making up things as he goes along.

History: As a child, Daniel was never too interested in a career in Pokémon training like other kids. Growing up in Viridian City, he was astounded and fascinated from an early age by the sheer power and versatility in modern technology and like all curious children wanted to learn more. So while the other kids were bringing their house pets to school and battling them, he was busy gazing at their Pokédex and Pokéballs – and getting into trouble for messing with them. As a result, the first Pokémon he got from his parents was a Porygon named Alpha.

As a result, he had a little trouble finding a consistent group of friends until he was 15, when the amount of schoolmates leaving to go on Pokémon journeys slowly trickled to a halt. His sarcastic sense of humour set him at odds with many of his teachers over the next three years, but won him several companions to help him survive until he graduated.

After his High School graduation with promisingly high results, he immediately applied for a part-time job at Silph Co. in Saffron. Due to a not-terrible resume and a drought in available staff at the time – Pokémon journeys were becoming more and more common among older age groups – he was accepted, and ended up working as an in-house IT technician. Though not exactly his dream job – he would have far preferred working in Research and Development – it was a start. He knew how to fix the stuff that the less technically-proficient broke, and was paid to do it, earning enough money to rent an apartment in Celadon City, which he much preferred to the big city sprawl of Saffron City.

As the years dragged on, though, he became more and more irritated by the job. The senior managers were morons that kept causing trouble by meddling with internal systems and a great deal of other workers just didn't understand half the stuff they were using, ignoring his department when stuff worked right and blaming it when it didn't. Gradually, as dissatisfaction with his job and workmates (outside of the IT Department, whose members were generally pretty cool) grew, Daniel's mind drifted back to his former classmates, and their current pastime – what was training Pokémon really like? Surely it'd be less dull than working obscene hours dealing with these morons, even if the pay was good.

So, he made plans. While still employed by the company, he took action – purchasing hiking boots, visiting professional breeders, training his house pet, Lucy the Snubbull, for low-level combat and obtaining an Upgrade for Alpha. Then, when he was ready, he quit his job at Silph and left on his very own Pokémon journey, with a professionally bred Bulbasaur he dubbed 'Aster'. Before receiving his mysterious parcel, he was attempting to take on the Seafoam Islands Leader, Blaine, having managed to obtain several badges and fully evolve both Aster and Lucy.

Spoiler:

MY LEG!

The order Daniel took on the Gym Leaders was Misty -> Surge -> Sabrina -> Erika -> Janine -> Brock. He was going to tackle Viridian Gym next, but Blue, true to form, was unavailable, so he decided to go for Blaine first.

RP Sample:

Spoiler:

The first thing Daniel noticed as he climbed the stairs to the upper portion of the Seafoam Islands with his Pokémon was the sharp increase in temperature. Gone were the frigid climate and frosted walls – this upper room was hot and dry. He hastily unzipped his jacket, stuffing it into his backpack and revealing the dull blue shirt he wore underneath.

"Too hot for you, huh?" a voice called out. Lucy the Granbull barked as Daniel looked up from his bag. Standing in the room's centre was an old man. Wearing a hat and sunglasses, and carrying an old cane shaped like a question mark, his whiskers gave him away as the famous Gym Leader, Blaine.

"Don't flatter yourself, Blaine," Daniel quipped, though his voice was a little strained from the heat. "You're just as attractive as anyone else your age."

Blaine laughed. "There's nothing like a little wordplay to lighten the mood! I guess you're a challenger, then. How many badges do you have?"

"Six," Daniel replied as he produced his badge case, opening it to reveal his collection.

The quiz master reached into his pocket, grabbing a Pokéball. "Ah, so I'm seventh for you. That's a pretty common situation, actually. Let me guess – Blue refused to fight you?"

"Of course he did," Daniel replied, "Guy's too full of himself to ever let someone fight him without all the Kanto badges. I had to get someone to take a boat out here." He gestured, referring to the cave that had been crudely repurposed into a Gym.

Blaine muttered to himself, chiefly about how irresponsible that damn rookie leader was being and what he would do when he got his hands him. Abruptly, he stopped, straightening himself, and twirled his cane.

"Regardless," he said, "It's me you'll be facing in battle today. I may have lost my town, but here in this cave I live on! Hah! You better have Burn Heal!"

Blaine threw the Pokéball he'd been holding the whole time. It released a golden, luxurious-looking fox with nine tails.

"Okay, Lucy, you're up." Daniel said, remaining calm and keeping his voice level. He didn't want to give away his nervousness.

Lucy growled and yapped as she ran forward into the battlefield. The Ninetales recoiled slightly, intimidated.

"Lucy! Don't go easy on it! Go for a Crunch!" Daniel shouted.

"Don't give in; you're faster than it, Ninetales! Use Flamethrower!" Blaine shouted.

The two Pokémon ran at each other, and the battle began.

Pokemon:

Spoiler:

Alpha
Quiet; Often lost in thought​

Gender: N/A

Moveset: Tri Attack, Recover, Signal Beam, Discharge

Personality: It's difficult to gauge the personality of a cybernetic duck, especially one that's as quiet as Alpha. The most reserved Pokémon on Daniel's team, it tends to keep to itself unless prompted by an outside source, usually its trainer. Despite this, it does indeed have emotions, and cares deeply for its teammates – though its capacity for outside expression, limited to beeps and facial expressions, gives it trouble communicating with them.

In fact, due to the relative newness of its emotional faculties (acquired upon the upgrade to Porygon2) it is probably the most sensitive of all the teammates, easy to upset and occasionally prone to sulking. Its more logically-oriented thought processes sometimes results in it stubbornly refusing an order it deems 'illogical', giving it a rebellious streak somewhat in line with its trainer, and it tends to completely ignore orders from anyone else. Additionally, due to its memory architecture, it tends to hold grudges for extended periods of time, until it perceives the perpetrator of whatever crimes were executed against it has repented or otherwise redeemed themselves in its eyes.

History: Alpha was Daniel's first Pokémon, given to him by his parents in a futile attempt to shift his love of technology towards Pokémon battling. Despite the circumstances of the two's meeting, they became fast friends, with Daniel taking it virtually everywhere he went. He found its interactivity with both modern technology such as Pokéballs and actual live Pokémon extremely fascinating, and was constantly subjecting it to 'experiments'. However, as he grew older, Daniel realised that it had no emotions or even true autonomy, simply being programmed to obey any orders received. As a result, it was relegated to the role of a gimmicky toy, and eventually faded from his life in favour of living, breathing Pokémon like his pet Snubbull, Lucy.

However, while making plans for his Pokémon journey, Daniel noticed that one of his employee benefits for working at Silph Co. was a discount on all licenced merchandise, a fact he exploited to cheaply obtain an Upgrade for his first Pokémon. Though he couldn't find anyone to do a trade-back with to apply the Officially Licensed Pokémon Expansion Pack, his interest in his old partner was revitalised, and he began training it for his journey. Eventually, after witnessing a tough Gym Battle against Erika, one of the Gym Trainers offered to assist in evolving Alpha in exchange for a Sun Stone, which he had handily acquired earlier.

The upgrade enhanced many of Alpha's features, giving it artificial intelligence and actual emotions. Finally feeling like he was interacting with an actual, living being, Daniel took to the new version of Alpha like a duck to water, though his other Pokémon were slightly less enthusiastic about the transition.

Lucy
Brave; alert to sounds​

Gender: Female

Moveset: Play Rough, Crunch, Wild Charge, Brick Break

Personality: Lucy is possibly the loudest Pokémon Daniel will ever own. Whether barking, growling, panting or whining, she is constantly making some kind of noise, a fact that annoys her owner to no end. She is very affectionate with her trainer, but tends to be a little more wary around those she doesn't know. Though normally very placid, she will bark and growl unendingly at those she perceives as a threat to either herself, her trainer or her fellow Pokémon. Unflinchingly loyal, she will do whatever it takes to protect her partners and obeys orders almost without question.

Notably, since she was raised as a house pet, she dislikes staying inside her Pokéball and will remain outside of it at her master's side most of the time.

She is absolutely befuddled by Alpha and its outward lack of reaction, and will try to provoke it quite often, amused by the results. Despite this, Alpha bears no grudge towards her, and the two cooperate well whenever it is necessary of them. She shares a friendly rivalry with other teammate Aster, competing over both their master's affection and their skill in combat.

History: Lucy was Daniel's first 'real' Pokémon, bought when he realised exactly how quiet it was in his Celadon apartment. Though the two had trouble at first, they got along fairly well once it was established what was 'people food' and what was 'Pokémon food'. For quite some time during his employment at Silph, she was the one major constant in his life, which was a whirlwind of managers, senior techs and misadventures with malfunctioning printers.

When he decided to go on a journey, she was signed up for some basic combat training at the Saffron Fighting Dojo, alongside newcomer Aster. She was quick to get into shape, and until Aster evolved into his final stage she was often the powerhouse of the team. She evolved into Granbull during a hectic battle against Sabrina, Saffron City's Gym Leader.

Aster
Bold; somewhat vain​

Gender: Male

Moveset: Giga Drain, Sludge Bomb, Synthesis, Sleep Powder

Personality: As a born battler, Aster is very proud of his own abilities. Some would say too proud, as he tends to often underestimate his opponents. His pride also gives him a little vanity, as he is constantly admiring his grand flower and probably considers himself quite the looker.

Despite his skill in combat, Aster is probably the laziest Pokémon on Daniel's team, oversleeping frequently and often complaining about trivial things. He has a friendly rivalry with teammate Lucy, whom he has bested in direct combat several times due to type advantages. Despite their differences, the two make a good pair, often providing support for Daniel when he needs it.

He regards Alpha with curiosity, not quite sure how to react to such a strange creature – artificial, but clearly as capable of genuine thought as the rest of them. As such the two generally keep their distance.

History: Aster was purchased from a professional Pokémon breeder prior to Daniel's quitting from Silph Co. and leaving on his journey. The breeder seemed to be a bit of a perfectionist, as he regarded Aster as 'lesser stock' and offered a discounted price. This didn't matter in the least to Daniel, who took in the effectively rejected Bulbasaur as a friend and teammate.

He required a little more training than Lucy, due to being less used to humans and other Pokémon, but his combat prowess proved a tangible reward, getting the team through several rough patches where they otherwise would have ground to a halt. He reached his final stage of evolution during a long, drawn-out battle against the Fuchsia City Gym Leader, Janine.

Personally I think I overdid it on the Pokemon's sections. Oh well, it's still good enough.

Name: Damien Talba

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Appearance
Damien stands at around 6'1"ft and weighs in about almost 210lbs, and he's sort of on the hefty/fat side. He's by no means obese, but he certainly doesn't look like an athlete. He is strong however, as he helps out on his family farm a lot of the time, so he does a look a bit bigger from the arms-shoulder area, and can certainly pack a punch if he wanted to. His blonde hair is mostly cut short, and his skin is rather clean as well and doesn't usually tan. His eyes are a nice blue that most people would admire. All in all, he's not that bad looking in the looks department. For clothing he wears a black t-shirt, with a black crewneck sweater on top with a picture of an outline of a Noctowl on it. For pants, he wears a blue snug, comfortable pair of jeans, and to top it off, black sneakers with white laces.

Mega Stone: Aggronite

Personality
Damien is a pretty nice fellow. Although he does get kind of shy, once he gets to know someone he is pretty open about stuff. He always does try and help people if he can, and doesn't expect anything in return. It was just how he was brought up. Sometimes people will say he's often too nice, as if someone says something to him, he will more than likely ignore it, or just not do anything about it. It's just not in his nature to be aggressive and pushy. He would much rather hang out with people of the same 'clique' as him, and doesn't really like getting out of his comfort zone. As for getting angry, there's not much that'll set him off, as he is usually used to taking insults from people, so he's heard pretty much everything. However be warned: Everyone has a breaking point. He also doesn't battle too much, but with the exception of his family's Aggron, most of his Pokemon are the same way as Damien.

History
Living in Solaceon Town, Sinnoh his whole life, Damien never really did travel. He spends most of his days working on the family farm, and quite frankly, he doesn't mind. With a diet of Tauros meat and MooMoo Milk, he was always a chubby kid, but it wasn't until later on people started to call him names like 'Farm-boy', 'Snorlax', or sometimes even go as far as to make fun of his family. Damien didn't care much as to what people thought, so he tried to ignore it. He couldn't understand why people would go to all that effort of trying to make him feel bad. Over time he developed a heart of steel, where words were incapable of penetrating him, but they still hurt. Most of his friends that would come over form school were in the same boat as him. People that would eat lunch alone, didn't have anyone to talk to, etc. They weren't as judgmental he found, plus they were all pretty nice and it was fun having friends over.

His family's Aggron was the one Pokemon he hung out with a lot. Although it spent most of its days sleeping and eating, when it did come time to battle, it was really strong and listened well, although the Pokemon can only be as good as its trainer (needless to say, Damien isn't a really good battler). His grandparents aren't much of battlers either, and his sister isn't really interested in battling, as she likes to care for Pokemon instead of sparring.

Usually on his days off on the farm, or when things were going a bit slow, he would often venture off into nearby caves with Aggron tagging along, to see what Pokemon he could find. His favourites being Rock/Ground/Steel/Fighting, He managed to catch a Timburr. Although it was disobedient at first, it is now a rather friendly Pokemon that sticks with Damien no matter what. Damien now spends most of his days still working on the farm, doing his daily tasks, until it all changed when a package was delivered to his farm.

Other: Nothing really.

RP Sample:

Spoiler:

Gulping down the glass of MooMoo Milk, Damien slammed the glass on the table and let out a sigh of satisfaction, rubbing his belly. Yeah...that's good stuff. Burr walked around without carrying his usual log of wood around, waiting for Damien to finish his lunch. "Yeah, I'm good to go. Let's get training, Burr!" Getting up, Damien rushed out of the door to his left, that led right out to the back patio and into the grass where Damien had filled sacks of potatoes with dirt and sand. Sure it wasn't what the pro trainers used, but with a tight budget, he had to cut some corners. Plus, it seemed to had been working, so why not? "Alright Burr..." Damien whipped out a small notebook he had in his pocket, flipping through the pages. "It says here we did endurance training last time. Which means now we have to do strength." He put away the notebook and walked up the sacks of sand. "Alright Burr, this is what I want you to do. Push this sack to that tree over there and bring it around back here. We'll take a minute break, and repeat 5 times. Got it?" Damien used his hand gestures to show what he meant, as he somehow doubted Burr could understand him 100%, but this exercise was not something new, so it was likely Burr understood the gist of it.

"Bur!" Timburr jumped up excitedly, as he put his hands on the sacks and began to push. Grunting, Burr started to use his legs for driving force, and the sacks started to push along the grass, leaving a trail of dirt, mud and crushed grass in it wake. Alright, Burr's doing it... Burr started to grunt faster and harder, until he finally reached the tree that conveniently located a little under a 100 meters away. Pushing the sack around the tree, Burr took a 5 second rest, before starting to push it again, this time giving it all he could. "Burr, Burr!"

"C'mon, you're almost there!" Damien shouted. Burr was getting closer to the start, and within seconds he finally made it, dropping to the ground to take a rest. "Alright, you did it!" Damien said excitedly. He rubbed Burr on the head and looked at the sack, which now had two puncture holes where Burr's hands were located. "Alright, maybe we'll take a 2 minute break instead of just one." He said smiling at the fighting Pokemon.

Pokemon SUs

Spoiler:

Nickname: Bason

Gender: Male

Species: Aggron

Appearance: Nothing really, except the Aggron it is a bit bigger than usual.

Personality: Bason is usually quiet and reserved, and sleeps more much of the day. Living on the farm, it doesn't need to look for food, as it has that luxury come to him every hour, or whenever he wants to eat. Although when it does come time for Bason to do some work such as push wagons or move stuff, he does it without question. All in all, he is pretty loyal and would never do anything to hurt Damien.

History: Damien had known Bason since he was an Aron, and although it wasn't his, his entire family took care of it, and it eventually evolved into Aggron, as his grandpa would often take it to local battles down in the Flea Market. Damien has used it to battle before, plus they grew up together, so it is not like they are strangers to each other.

Moveset:

• Head Smash
• Dragon Claw
• Metal Claw
• Metal Sound

Other: Ability ~ Rock Head

Spoiler:

Nickname: None

Gender: Male

Species: Donphan

Appearance: Tusks are a bit bigger, but other than that, nothing.

Personality: Donphan is like Bason, in that it is quiet a lot of the time. Although sometimes he gets those bursts of outrage when his food is gone, most of the time Donphan likes to pull and push heavy objects to get stronger. It takes pride in being strong, and is known around the farm to be one of the biggest helpers. It does have a tendency to get jealous around Donphan however. It also likes to eat berries, and like Damien, also drink MooMoo Milk.

History: Damien had known Donphan since it was Phanpy. Damien was the one who raised it and took care of it when he was younger, and has also trained it to get stronger by setting up various obstacle courses for him on the farm. When it evolved, Damien was rather surprised, and it's strength was boosted incredibly, the things it was doing as a Phanpy, it could now do with a fraction of the strength.

Moveset:

• Bulldoze
• Rapid Spin
• Thunder Fang
• Fire Fang

Other: Ability ~ Sand Veil

Spoiler:

Nickname: Burr

Gender: Male

Species: Timburr

Appearance: It's a bit lighter in color, and looks thicker from the arms.

Personality: Burr is mischievous critter. It likes to pull pranks occasionally, but like Damien, it gets shy around new people and Pokemon. When it battles, it doesn't know what to do other than what Damien commands it to, and sometimes it may fumble when performing moves. Otherwise, when it does get to know new Pokemon, he can be a very friendly Timburr indeed, seomtimes protecting those younger and smaller than it.

History: Damien went out exploring once in cave near his town, and came across a Timburr. After it tried to run away, Damien decided to go catch it, using the family's Aggron. It was obviously no match, and with a single Metal Claw, the Timburr was catchable. Although now it has become much stronger than it was in the wild, thanks to a strict training regimen on the farm and diet of high-caloric foods. Nowadays, it pretty much follows Damien wherever he goes, such as stores, walks, town square, etc. Where Damien goes, he follows.

Moveset:

• Mach Punch
• Low Kick
• Bulk Up
• Rock Throw

Other: Ability ~ Guts

Jegretis - Your signup has been accepted!

Well, I guess I better get working on that IC thread now. I think the first post will just be a clone of the one from this thread (minus the signup sheets of course), and I'll post in character after someone else posts first. Also, I'll add in a supplies section to show what everyone has in their new backpacks.

 

[<Challenger>]

I'm sorry, but I think I'm gonna drop out. I'm running out of character ideas, and I've joined the last like five roleplays that have come up in the RPC. Again, sorry guys.

 

[aceattorneyweirdgirl]

Aw, that's too bad...

Don't worry though, we've all been in that situation at least once before.

EDIT: I'll be unable to post in the roleplay for roughly a day's time as of a couple hours from now. I'll endeavor to have the IC thread submitted by then, and supplies allocated.

EDIT 2: Submitted the IC thread, the supplies each player receives are contained within.

 

[LastOne]

Oh sweet, it's finally up! So are we going to start off with Rping out finding the box? Or like just jump into waking up in the mysterious region?

 

[aceattorneyweirdgirl]

I'd say start with receiving the box.

 

[LastOne]

FinalMaster - Well, made the first post. The way I plan to rp the whole held items thing I mentioned there, is that he usually takes it off of them when the day is over.

crnage & Zero Percent - Since our characters are from Johto, you guy's should expect a battle proposal when tension of being basically kidnapped dies down.

 

[Jegretis]

I'll have a post up soon. I already had it done yesterday, but I just need to tweak it a bit.

 

[crnage]

I'll have mine up too, I'm kind of scatterbrained.

LastOne : You have a deal sir.

 

[DeathofShadows]

Hey, this one looks pretty cool! Are there still available spots?

If there are, I'd love to reserve Lucario.

 

[aceattorneyweirdgirl]

DeathofShadows - Yeah, still slots available. You're reserved.

Jegretis - Just a small note, the box only contained one mega stone.

 

[for him.]

Whoa sorry for taking 5000 years on this SU. I finally have it done!

Name:
Hector Summers

Gender:
Unicorn Male

Age:
18

Appearance:
Hector is very short. He swears there is a deity laughing at him somewhere because he is actually 5ft 2 and ½ inches. It's not even 5'3". He's just cursed to be short forever. Hector has a somewhat lean build, but it doesn't change the fact that he looks like he'll break in half if someone were to push him. He lacks facial and body hair, which to him is a blessing. Hector is… he is… a fabulously rainbow colored twink. He has brown eyes and blond dyed hair. He has a tan from all the traveling he has been traveling throughout the Hoenn region.

Hector usually wears a very light blue short sleeved dress shirt, which is buttoned up to hide the white t-shirt under. On his neck, he wears a bow tie because why not? They are pretty cool in his opinion. In the pocket of his dress shirt, he has three different color pens and a small note pad. The pens in his pocket aren't the only ones he has and switches them out regularly depending on many factors such as mood and the day of the week it happens to be. He carries around a messenger bag that contains necessities such as his collection of pretty colorful pens. Yes, pens are that important. Anyway, he wears dark blue jeans, white socks, and sandals.


Mega Stone:
Absolite


Personality:
Hector is pretty awkward. When put in a situation where he actually has to talk to people, he has very little to say. After all the things he wants to say have already been said and discussed, he finds it hard to figure out what to do next which leads to an awkward silence that can cause people to flee. Because of this, he really doesn't like talking to people much, and would much rather talk to pokemon instead. Well his pokemon because they are pretty use to this in the first place.

He is also very careful and meticulous. He has a many plans for this that may or may not happen. These plans are a cover for him to hide behind because he is afraid of hurting anyone like he did with Florina because he lacked a plan. Evidence of his plan making are hidden within the pages of his notebooks and his tiny notepad in his pocket. Within them, there are many detailed strategies and notes inscribed with colorful pen.

History:
Hector was born and raised in the forestry and nature inclined environment of Fortree City He was the child of two wonderful parents, Marion and Arthur, who loved him very much. As a child he loved running from tree house to tree house that stood proudly throughout the city. He was known to be a very outgoing and bright, which many citizens called his SPRINGTIME OF YOUTH. Or something like that anyway. He was very reckless and tackled things without a plan in mind. However, this eventually changed.

At age 11, Hector received his first pokemon, a Sablu who he quickly christened with the name of Florina after one of the characters of the fairytale The Blazing Sword. After this, he began his endeavours with pokemon battling, something he really got into as the years passed, and it was something he loved. However, when he was 13, Florina was badly hurt in one of his battles due to his reckless behavior. After Florina recovered from her injuries, Hector changed. He was no longer the bright and outgoing child he use to be. Hector became very awkward and loss the charisma that used to ooze off of him. He completely stripped himself of his reckless personality and became very cautious. The injury that was caused due to Hector's recklessness not only gave birth to his obsessive tendency towards plans, but also gave birth to a new dream of being a pokemon doctor.

He received much criticism from his peers and even many of the adults of Fortree City for his dream. Pokemon medicine is a field dominated by females, and for a man to be a doctor was just looked down upon. Even though the many medical schools accepted male applicants, the long standing tradition of female pokemon doctors didn't seem to break. Hector gave no heed to other people's opinions and worked hard to get into medical school. He graduated early from the Mosdeep City Medical School at the top of his class at the age of 18. However at 18, he wasn't allowed to immediately take an intern position due to the age requirement of 21. With a lot of thinking, Hector decided that the best thing to do was go on a pokemon journey.

As of now, he's in Lilycove city, waiting to catch a ferry to Mosdeep in order to challenge Tate and Liza.

Other: MY LEG BURNS WITH THE SPRINGTIME OF YOUTH! THIS IS A YOUTHFUL ENDEAVOUR YES? (I do not need my other leg, obviously.)

RP Sample:

Spoiler:

The sun was up bright and early in the city of Lilycove, signaling the coming of morning. The Winguls were already up and starting their morning flight and most people were just getting out of their beds. Normal people started off their morning with a yawn before reluctantly forcing themselves into the bathroom to get read for the busy day ahead.

However, Hector Summers wasn't one of those people. He got out of bed in his single hotel room and immediately set to work with new strategies for his upcoming gym battle. However, at the moment, he was completely defeated. Scrunched up pieces of paper filled with detailed note were littered around the room and Hector's face was face down on top of his bed. At this point, he was probably thinking about suffocating himself.

"I hate gym battling sometimes," Hector sighed. He was currently trying to formulate strategies to defeat the Mosdeep City gym leaders Tate & Liza with barely any information to work with. In general, it was pretty hard to get information on gym leaders, especially from Norman onwards. The gym leaders completely banned people recording their gym battles, except for Roxanne who often used her battles as an example for her students. This lead Hector to use google to find people who at least wrote something about their experiences. Gym leaders were gym leaders for a reason, and many trainers were defeated before they got to the last pokemon, and more than a handful of people who did defeat or at least get to the leader's last pokemon, weren't all great people either. However, Hector at least was able to get a decent amount of information about the other gym leaders. Well except for this particular gym. Being the seventh of the eight, there weren't many people who actually defeated them. Honestly all Hector was able to scavenge was the pokemon Tate and Liza used in their gym, and oh boy the dry well of information was ten times worse in Juan's case.

Right now, Hector was internally regretting not going into the Mosdeep Gym to spectate Tate and Liza's gym battles. He was so immersed in his schoolwork, that he rarely ever went out and had time for himself. Well it was that work ethic that got him through five years of coursework in three years at the Mossdeep City Medical School, but he couldn't help but regret not getting out more just to see the battles. It would sure help him a lot right about now.

Hector felt a poke to his side and looked up. Matthew, his Absol, was looking down at him with his red eyes. He jabbed the crescent blade attached to his head towards the sunlight before staring right back at him. Hector, completely getting the message, sat up.

"Yeah, you're right, I probably should take a break," Hector sighed. He got up from the bed and was about to head out the door before stopping himself and headed towards the bathroom instead. "I'll do that after I brush my teeth."

Pokemon:

Spoiler:

Nickname:
Florina

Gender:
Female

Personality:
Florina is very jolly. She's always ready to greet others with a smile, a song, and a wacky dance that consists of her flailing about in the air. She is confident in herself and her abilities, but is humble enough to understand that there are stronger pokemon than even her in the world. Florina loves heroes. She has sat through bedtime stories told by Hector's mother and father, and one day dreams to be as dashing as those heroes in the fairy tales she was told.

History:
Florina was caught by Hector's mother and given to Hector as his first pokemon. They completely hit it off when they first met. She was drawn in by Hector's charisma, and Hector was just a stilly 11 year-old who was excited over having his very first pokemon. She was involved in many pokemon battles since the time she was given to Hector, but was severely injured when he was 13. Her injury led to the change within Hector and even though he did a complete 180, she still stayed by his side through thick and thin. She evolved from a Swablu when she and Hector were in Mosdeep City and has stayed by Hector's side throughout his journey in the Hoenn region.

Moveset:
Dazzling Gleam
Roost
Flamethrower
Dragon Pulse

Other:
Ability is Natural Cure

Nickname: Matthew

Gender: Male

Personality:
Matthew is the epitome of the Absol stereotype. He's the silent, lone wolf type. He's more comfortable with a small group of living beings than a whole sea of them, and when he says something very little escapes his mouth. He basks in the awkward silences that are caused by Hector and is the only one of his pokemon who doesn't try to destroy it either and doesn't expect Hector to talk if he doesn't want to. For this reason, he is usually seen walking beside Hector. With a burning passion, he will deny his adoration and extreme loyalty towards Hector, true to his stereotype.

History:
Absols lived near the many smaller communities that huddle around Fortree City. Due to the area's completely bipolar weather and the association Absols have to disasters, like many others Matthew was hated by the citizens in the area as well. One day, when he was feasting on poor defenseless berries, he was unfortunately seen by civilians and was attacked in fear of future disaster. Hector stumbled upon the scene, saved Matthew, and then nursed him back to health. The Absol grew immensely fond and loyal to him as a result and began to follow Hector wherever he went.

Moveset:
Night Slash
Double Team
Play Rough
Flamethrower

Other:
Ability is Super Luck.

Nickname: Fiora

Gender: Female

Appearance: Nothing entirely special, except for the red and orange bandana around her head.

Personality:
Fiora is the embodiment of what the adults in Fortree City called "the Springtime of Youth." She's very senstive and often feels emotions very intensely. However, most of the time she is insanely chipper. In this aspect, she reminds Hector much of Florina, which is why Hector named the Marill Fiora. She is a very determined pokemon and is willing to complete goals and tasks she sets for herself to the extreme. She has a gigantic sweet tooth and in a new city she will often look longingly at stores housing sweets.

History:
Fiora is the youngest, and the newest addition to Hector's team. This super hardworking and youthful pokemon, Azurill, at the time stupidly daringly challenged Hector and Matthew as they were heading to Petalburg City for a gym battle with Norman. She was completely defeated, and just like any youthful pokemon with a code of honor, she followed them out of the forest after her defeat and made Hector and Matthew her self-proclaimed senseis. (As in, she followed them out because they earned her respect and was captured just before Hector even entered the Petalburg Gym.)

Moveset:
Aqua Jet
Attract
Brick Break
Ice Beam

Other:
Ability is Huge Power

Awesomeness. I'll have it up sometime tomorrow. Is there a limit level-wise as to where our Pokemon should be?

@Subsonic - Something tells me Hector was a student of Gai-Sensei.

Nah. It's more so his Azumarill. ;D Just tried to make my SU less boring to read by adding little references to other things. But Hector's Azumarill is completely trying to be based off of Rock Lee and Gai. ;D

Edit: Oh my goodness, I just noticed that my SU had a Katekyo Hitman Reborn reference.

Okay dokey, fixed that little bit up in my last post, sorry about that!
