Name: Takeo
Title: Pokémon Trainer.
Age: Nineteen.
Gender: Male
Birth Date: August 2, 1987
Birthplace: In the Sevii Islands, to a family on Kin Island in Tróis (my little nickname for the 'town' named Three Island, hehe)
Height: 6ft
Weight: 75kg
Role Model: I've never looked up to anyone - I prefer to pave my own way. I do, however, admire Professor Oak.
Group: None.
Pokémon:
- Charizard; my oldest companion whom I received as a Charmander from Professor Oak of Pallet Town when he came to visit young trainers in the Sevii Islands four years ago. It evolved to Charmeleon after defeating Erika in the Celadon City Gym, and on to Charizard whilst battling Blaine's Ninetales. Charizard has never once doubted me and nor have I doubted it - its attacks include Steel Wing, Blast Burn and Dragon Rage.
- Umbreon; I was fortunate enough to see this Pokémon evolve. Whilst caught in a storm, I noticed an Eevee in the distance, struggling through the horrible rain and wind. Running towards it, I intended to take it to the Pokémon Center - however, before I'd even got close to it, Eevee was struck by a lightening bolt. Fearing that it was already gone, I ran on to find not Eevee, but Umbreon - it seems that Eevee wasn't willing to go without a fight. I scooped up Umbreon and took it to the local Pokémon Center, despite its repeated attempts to attack me. After it collapsed, I ran faster and finally made it to the medical center. I waited two full nights to find out how Umbreon was doing, only to be greeted with the news that it was recovering well. As I left, I said goodbye to Umbreon, but it followed me and challenged me to a battle. I triumphed and captured it, pleased to have such a grand addition to my team.
- Aipom - This mischievous Pokémon has been with me since I found it at the foot of a tree
Appearance: Brown hair - long for a boy but not much longer than my neck. I wear a navy zipper cardigan over a black T-shirt, but I always take the overcoat off when in battle. Normal denim jeans and a pair of trainers
Personality: Perhaps too confident for his own good, Takeo is headstrong. However, when he takes the time to think things through, Takeo could be as clever as anyone. His skill in battle is notable, but his real strength lies in capturing Pokémon and analysing their abilities.
History: Growing up in the Sevii Islands, Takeo knew many Pokémon Rangers and other trainers with strong, high-level Pokémon. Vowing to become the greatest of them all, Takeo stowed away on a ferry to Vermillion City, before hitching a flight from a local Pokémon fan club chairman on a direct Fearow express to Pallet Town. Upon finally meeting the legendary Professor Oak, Takeo gained himself a Charmander. Fighting through gym after gym, Takeo caught many strong Pokémon and made his way to the Pokémon League tournament. Placing fourth after losing the third placed play-off due to exhaustion, Takeo returned to the Sevii Islands with his faithful team. However, when the Unown incident occured, Takeo equipped himself with three of his oldest Pokémon friends and set off for Cinnabar - not knowing exactly what he should do, but knowing he should do something...
Rival: None yet.
Strategy: I tune my Pokémon so that they can beat even those who they are weak against, but I prefer to match type for type.
Trainer's Pokémon: Charizard is willful; Aipom is definitely mischievous; and I could only describe Umbreon as intelligent.
Self Introduction: Everyone can learn something new.
Extra: Since I'm joining late, I stuck this in a Spoiler tag and have tried to give a logical explanation for showing up, heh.
