    Name: Elias Wagner

    Age: 18

    Gender: Male

    Hometown: Hails from Akala Island, currently residing in Wedgehurst.

    Physical Appearance: Dark skinned with a lean build, the body of a runner with thicker arms than most. He has long, curly black hair pulled back into a low-hanging ponytail. There is a silvery fish accessory that holds his poofy hair down and the end of the fish tail curls around to act as a tie for the ponytail. High cheekbones and thick eyebrows define his face. His lips are full and his eyes are an astonishingly emerald green. Elias dresses primarily in black overalls and a light blue, long sleeved shirt beneath. He has gloves hanging from the front pocket of his overalls, flame retardant black shoes on that go up to his knees like waders. There's a single choker around his neck with a little pink opal in the center, the leather of the choker is aged. The metal to hold the opal in place looks to have been fixed a few times. At his side is a navy, well worn camera bag.

    S T R E N G T H S
    Photography: His island was picture perfect. From the natural Pokémon to those raised on the farm he volunteered, he never missed an opportunity to showing the world that Akala Island was the best! He has a blog to showcase his work for the past 8 years. He mostly focuses on landscape pictures and Pokémon in their natural habitats. He doesn't want to take pictures of the trainers unless it's from the neck down due to his phobia.

    Strong Armed: He can and has carried a fully grown Tauros from one end of the farm to another. Elias enjoyed being the one to help with birthing and pulling apart two beautiful creatures to make them parent and sibling. He also gained his strength from climbing trees, mountains, and other terrain to get just the right angle and light for a shot.

    Heat Resistant: Growing up on an island near a volcano made him less likely to get heat stroke, sunburns, and the like. Hot climates don't bother him in the least. Walking across hot coals was a right of passage within his family.

    Autotune: Elias has a natural ability to tune people out when he's concentrating on a task that needs to get done. The task usually ends up being better quality by the end because of his intense focus.

    Kind-hearted: Picking up an axe and helping to chop the tree when asked comes second nature. He's not afraid to help others if they need it in mundane tasks. However, when it comes to life threatening events he'll snap a picture first and jump in second. A 'last picture' before his ancestors take him.

    W E A K N E S S E S
    Overwhelmed: Elias ends up taking on more tasks than he can handle. Jack of all trades, master of none. He is average at best taking care of herds of Pokémon, his grand failure of maintenance and care led to his ultimate expulsion from the Nursery. He can care for up to 10 Pokémon of the same breed and only five of different breeds. His mental capacity for keeping likes, dislikes, and such of many Pokémon is rather difficult for him.

    Ommetaphobia (Pokemon): Irrational fear of most Pokémon that look like ordinary things. Examples: Onix (The rocks shouldn't have faces); Klefki (his keys being replaced and looking up at him). Pokemon as every day objects puts the fear right into him. A twisted version of 'Ommetaphobia'.

    Ommetaphobia (People): It is an extreme fear of eyes, in this instance it's a fear of eyes that look human. Sclera, iris, pupil in a roundish shape. The over abundance of eyes will put him in a state of shock that will paralyze him entirely. He won't meet the gaze of others unless it's forced and will be unresponsive for a few minutes. Head down and task done is the preferred method.

    Autotune: Elias has a natural ability to tune people out when he's concentrating on a task that needs to get done. It's a boon and a bane, one must shout loudly to get his attention when he enters this hyper focused mode.

    Cold Intolerant: "Snow! Why?! Rain is nice! Why is the shy freezing!? Is that hale! No thank you. I'll be inside under a blanket at the fireplace. Keep your snow!"

    Linguistical Differences: Coming from the islands, Elias has trouble understanding the dialect of the common tongue used by others. The accents of most can leave him baffled: Tomato/toe-mah-too.

    A S P I R A T I O N S
    With the inability to meet the eyes of his competitors, sister, or any member of his community; Elias turned his attention to photography. To show the world what life was like through his eyes. Starting at age 10, he took tourist pictures of the town to later on venturing far too often in the Lush Jungle. He's gone out to see the world and what else he can offer his blog of followers. He doesn't like to stay in one place any longer, moving from town to town and occasionally documenting the championships of locals. Fighting with Pokémon isn't for him, he is excited to show the Wild World of Wonderful Pokémon.

    Rival: Jamie G. The best Pokémon Breeder this side of Lush Jungle.
    She and Elias don't get along because he doesn't like the notion of breeding Pokémon to get perfect genes in the first place.
    She always desired to get his volunteer position cut and succeeded.

    Starter Pokémon and Nickname: Goomy - found in Lush Jungle and accompanied since age 14.

    Starters Gender: Female.

    Starters Moveset:
    Absorb
    Tackle
    Water Gun
    Dragon Breath
    Poison Tail (Egg move)

    Starter Ability: Sap Sipper

    Roleplay Sample: Manhandled! Manhandled and dizzy. Yin Yu clings to Quan Yizhen as he watches the palace walls go back quickly. It's so bright, so beautiful in here. Heaven truly is not like his place back in the Ghost City, he kept to a single room now. It's how he liked it, his stuff all in one place. No mess, no fuss, and he didn't... A flip of his body out of the other man's arms, he's on his own feet again. His mouth opens to respond but his former Shidi speaks first! What a thing to say! Yin Yu shakes his head immediately, backing away from Quan Yizhen. His eyes searching the room for means of escape, the nearest exit is far away and Yizhen is between him and it. His shovel drops unceremoniously between them as he waves his arms in front of himself. Looking back with wide eyes, he walks back until he knocks against the wall, "N-No! I'm fine! I don't need help! I-I. I..."

    Achille Béringer || 18 || ♂️
    Hometown: Cyllage City
    Current Status: [Undefined]​



    Physical Appearance


    Achille stands a bit shorter than most of his peers (less than a few inches, he'll point out of it is mentioned) with little muscular definition. His hair is a dark brown, short, and kept immaculate with a fair amount of product. He's clean shaven and well groomed at all times as a point of pride. Despite this focus on appearance his posture is rather... sloppy. He certainly looks the part of refined, but that doesn't stop him from slouching or kicking back a little too eagerly.

    His closet reflects an expensive taste. Fancy jeans and slacks for pants, and a collection of simple (yet pricey) V-necks, sweaters, cardigans, and collared shirts. He usually has his (expensive) leather jacket over top, whether or not a light-tan leather jacket (with cream colored faux-fur at the top) works with the outfit or not. He has a steel-gray scarf for colder parts of the region, and a matching pom hat.

    He is near sighted and wears a pair of thin reading glasses for reading longer than a few minutes long. He also has a much larger set of sunglasses, which does get frequent use.

    Strengths


    Motivated:
    Motivation is no issue for Achille. He knows why he is here, and that purpose is to win. A defeat is a new chance to improve yourself and rise above. Achille knows a good trainer doesn't make excuses for his shortcomings, so there is no one to blame for it but himself.

    Natural Fighter:
    Some people were born to be trainers and possess a head for battle, and Achille is lucky to be among them. While he's not particularly bright studies-wise, pokemon battles just make sense to him. He's not particularly tactical with his approach, but makes up for a lack of traditional strategy with a flair for improvision should his practiced strategies fail.

    Bold Entertainer:
    Modesty has it's place, and it's far away from the field. If the people came here for a show, they are going to get one if Achille is fighting. Get a few eyes on him and Achille is happy to ham it up for the crowd if it makes a good story.

    "Cultured":
    Having money isn't everything... but it does happen to make everything a whole lot easier. He's been to more than enough stuffy parties to know how to fake the high class stuff, and the right name can open the right door. Thankfully being the fourth child means you get the benefit of the upbringing without the expectations of the first or second born. His family is less known here in Galar, which does suit Achille just fine.

    Weaknesses​


    Arrogant:
    Look, some people are just born better, and Achille can't help that. Galar just so happens to be filled with people who were not. Achille was born into the right family, has the right skills, and has the drive for it. There's no reason he should not succeed as a trainer, and any insults towards his skill must be met with a challenge in return.

    Frustratable:
    He's trying to get better about it, but he does still get frustrated at hitting roadblocks to his goal. He's not liable to explode with rage, he'll still mutter, grumble, and whinge while pressing on. Years of having everything you want does still leave bad habits.

    Refuses to Show Weakness:
    Achille will stand on his own two feet, no matter how difficult it gets. Being helpless is simply not an option, nor is giving someone an edge over you. He doesn't hate people, his own pride is just too easily bruised.

    "Brave":
    The line between courageous and reckless endangerment is a thin one, and Achille likes to toe that line. Whether it's stunt for publicity or glory seeking, Achille is willing to do put himself at risk a little too much. This bravery does not always carry over to social situations though, and he can find himself hesitating when there's no direct action to follow.

    Aspirations



    Achille's goal is simple, to win. Achille wants to take the league by storm and make a name for himself before returning to Kalos. It's to this end that he even moved to Galar in the first place, where the League is a little more... televised than back home. The title of champion is the main goal, but he'd be satisfied with enough experience to become champion in Kalos if all else fails.

    Rival​


    [OPEN]



    Starter Pokémon



    Nickname: Joiuse (Honedge)

    Gender: Female

    Moveset:
    Fury Cutter / Shadow Sneak / Block (Egg) / Autotomize / Aerial Ace / Metal Sound

    Ability: No Guard



    Roleplay Sample



    Achille stared at his phone, screen open on a missed call notification, his thumb hovering over the callback button. The lights in the hallway had gone out by now, the small movements from the young man while sitting on the bench weren't enough to toggle the motion detector. Truth be told, Achille couldn't be assed to stand up and trigger them right now either, his focus was more on finding the right words for the coming task.

    She's not even going to pick up, he thought glumly to himself, why am I wasting time with this. He finally pressed the button, the screen brightening and taking him to the active call screen, and raised the phone to his ear.

    Brrrrrring. Brrrrrring. Brrrrrring. Brrrrrring. Brrrrrring. Brrrrrring. "You have reached the voicemail box of-" the robotic voice on the other line began while Achille sighed. He had gotten all worked up over nothing. He let the voice finish its spiel before reciting the speech he had spent so long planning in the first place.

    "It's… Achille," he said, shaky at the start but regaining his composure, "I got your message about going back home, and my answer hasn't changed. I'm staying in Galar a bit longer; a year, two tops. I… want to get some more experience here before coming back to Kalos. I've graduated, I've got a way to earn money from battling, so you don't even have to worry about that. I'll come back for the holidays… But I'm staying and that's my decision. Call me back. Love you."

    He pressed the disconnect button and watched the time spent on the call flash a few times before fading back to his background image (all eight Kalos gym badges). The thought of some dramatic reaction like throwing the phone crossed his mind, but he didn't really feel like that. Instead he just quietly locked his phone and slid it into his pocket and stood up. The sudden movement also triggered the motion detector on the lights, and Achille was blinded for a second when the lights came back on.

    There was still an hour or two until graduation proper, and he could either spend it moping in a dark hallway, or he could try and enjoy it. He felt a little better just walking to leave the building, and after stopping by a bathroom to fix his hair he'd replaced the trepidation with just hunger from skipping breakfast. He'd find something more Kalosian to eat in this place, and then drop by and see if there were any interesting battles going on.

    Yeah, because he's future Champion Achille. Someone who's out to kick ass and not someone who makes sad calls from dark hallways.

    At least that's what he told himself, and it did make him feel better.

    STAGE 1 - WEDGEHURST & ROUTE 2

    Spoiler:

    The air is abuzz with the scent of freshly cut grass and the energy of green as grass trainers setting out on the beginning of an epic journey! As the ceremony for the first ever graduating class of the Wedgehurst trainer school comes to a close, our heroes step out into their familiar hometown, the whole world suddenly a different place for all of them.

    With partner pokémon by their side, some newly met, otherwise long term allies, these budding trainers take their first strides into the world set out before them.

    Wedgehurst is a quiet suburban town with large stone tile walkways and few roads and traffic to speak of, the surrounding greenery is allowed to flourish and the area is known for its prosperous farmland where both kept and wild Wooloo flourish. As the season encroaches, Autumn leaves fall onto the ground below and the gentle shades of orange and brown are settled into every nook and cranny one can find. Route 2, which lies just further beyond, is a humble waterside passage overlooking a large lake where efforts have been made to preserve the wild pokémon population. At the end of the winding path one will find the Pokémon Laboratory, the prime sponsor for the recently opened school, where Professor Sonia currently presides.

    Gather your wits, prepare for the adventure ahead of you, stand tall and take your first steps to glory! The world of Galar awaits its newest batch of trainers!

    .
    MISSIONS:


    1. The nearby battlefield has been abuzz with activity... a young boy seems to be jealous of all the attention the graduates are getting and is challenging everyone in sight. At a distance you'd think he was your average youngster, but his jacket is black and leather... and isn't he a bit young to have a nose piercing? Well whatever, he's been harping on at passers by about how his Galarian Zigzagoon is in the top percentage of all Galarian Zigzagoons... and about how it could kick your ass. Maybe someone oughta teach this kid a lesson?
    Reward: 1 x Great Ball

    2. [OPEN] The local fisherman's association is celebrating new trainers entering into the big wide world, to celebrate this momentous occasion, they're holding an all you can catch derby! All trainers who arrive by the lake get a complimentary fishing rod for the duration of the event and are invited to join the pros... the 10 participants who manage to land the largest magikarp get to keep the fishing rod they were given too!
    Reward: 1 x Old Rod

    3. Woe and Wooloo! Woeloo! Samuel the Shepherd is in one hell of a bind. A shipment of wool is due in Motostoke yesterday, but his little bo-pokémon have scattered to the four winds while his yamper is off at the center with an injured paw. He's going to be ruined if he doesn't locate and drag back each and every one of the fluffy fiends... but what's he going to do without his precious yamper? Unless... someone else with a pokémon is willing to lend a hand?
    Reward: 3 x Moomoo Milk

    4. On a journey are you? You're just the sort of woman Gramma Tina needs. Her son recently moved to Motostoke to follow his dream career as a pokémon breeder and she wants to wish him well in a more personal way than a call on her holocaster. She's written him a heart felt letter, but as she was about to deliver it tragedy struck! A Corvisquire snatched it away to its nest! Get it back... and deliver it to Motostoke for her... and she promises her son Tim will have a reward waiting for you.
    Reward: ??? (Received in Motostoke)

    5: Talk about a shocking development, the power to the Pokémon Lab has gone out and Sonia has a bright idea of what could be the cause. Looks like Yamper got to the power lines again, he's sucked up all that power and is really pushing the AC to the DC now. He's zip zap zooming at the speed of sound and she just can't bloody well catch him. Hey, you're a full fledged trainer now, you owe her right? Go catch that blitzing, bolting, barking, bufoon! You'll be rewarded of course, something fitting for your electrifying performance!
    Reward: Magnet

    6: [CATCH CHANCE!] Hold the phone! Hold the train! Hold everything! There's something not right here... down on the tracks below, is that a sleeping pokémon? What's it doing there? Look I- Wait what? It's a PILE of sleeping pokémon? This is terrible... if these little rascals aren't shown the door then the train ain't heading out to the wild area ANY time soon. New trainers, it helps you and it helps the station to clear out this little blue menace, so maybe get to it?
    Reward: Leftovers

    7: Speaking of problems at the station, while everyone has been held up someone or someTHING has been up to at best mischief, at worst criminal theft! A number of passengers are searching around and shouting at staff about not just the hold up but also about missing luggage. Suitcases, handbags, backpacks, you name it! Things are disappearing rapidly and the tension in the station plaza is rapidly rising... yet in the excitement it seems people have failed to miss some mysteriously pokémon shaped footsteps.
    Reward: 1 Leppa Berry + TM Thief

    8: The Wedgehurst boutique has a unique opportunity, unlike other towns with more successful clothing stores... Wedgehurst now has serious publicity with the dawn of the trainer schools first graduating class. They need new ideas, fresh ideas, inspiration for a new clothing line that will be all the rage. If this twist of fate lets them take off, they could make it big with franchises in other, more populated towns and cities. They've put out a call to all who'll listen, they need inspiration, ideas and anything that'll get their klinks klanking. Give em a hand and they promise to reward you!
    Reward: Formal Suit/Dress + TM Attract

    9: The buzz around the trainer school is immense and people are gathering around to meet and greet the new graduating class. Not to mention a number of underclassmen are now watching on with gleaming eyes full of awe. There's only one thing for it, a show of your skills to get the blood pumping! With an NPC or another player, you decide, hold a quick battle on the school's personal training grounds. Do your best to make this one a show to remember, it's your duty as trainers to inspire your onlookers and eventual successors, even at this early stage!
    Reward: TM Work Up

    10: [CATCH CHANCE!] Spooky Scary Spectacle at the Sootopolis Soufflé sale! Jokes aside, a recent shipment of deserts from the Hoenn region has lead to scares that weren't expected, customers have been running frightened from the store and business has dropped when it should be booming. The shopkeeper laments outside the door of their own pokémart wondering what went wrong... there must be some sort of ghost type shenanigans going on. Maybe the deserts weren't the only things shipped over from Hoenn... and maybe you can help this poor guy out?
    Reward: 1 x Spell Tag

  • Name: Clovis Solanine

    Age: 20

    Gender: ♂

    Hometown: Sunyshore City, Sinnoh

    Physical Appearance: Standing at 5'9", Clovis is a bit of a thin, fair-skinned young man. He normally wears purple and/or green button-up shirts, dark pants and shoes. His eyes are violet, and are always seen behind a pair of half-rimmed glasses. His hair is a mossy, messy green, as are his eyebrows. His demeanor expresses both a sharp, yet soft-spoken individual.

    Spoiler:

    Credit goes to Sapphire Rose​

    Strengths:

    Intelligence: Clovis is a near prodigy level of genius, and thus, is quite knowledgeable on various subjects. One of which, of course, being Pokemon. Not to mention his intensive years upon years studying Pokemon, battle strategies and grooming techniques to maintain healthy Pokemon.

    Temperance: He is able to remain calm in most stressful situations, despite his short-tempered disposition. He has never shown fear or cowardice, and always faces challenges head on.

    Crafty: Clovis is always plotting, always thinking of a way to ascend to his goals. His mind is always ticking and turning, able to come up with plans and strategies on the spot.

    Pokemon Oriented: Clovis has always shown a compassion to Pokemon, despite his disgust towards other people. In his childhood, Clovis had picked up an injured, beaten down Poochyena. He, himself, nurtured and nursed the poor thing to proper health before sending it back to the wild. So even if he seems cruel, there is a bigger heart towards the wildlife around him.

    Weaknesses

    Lack of Strength: Clovis is... pretty average, physically. Borderline scrawny. Having dedicated much of his time and studies into academics and intellectual pursuits, he has become a less than peak physicality. The only thing he has been good at is running away, if things got too tough. Say, being cornered by three bullies.

    Contempt for People: Because of his intelligence (and other factors), he sees many people around him beneath his greatness. Though he may be respectable to his elders, he does also find most to be dim-witted and lacking in brains.

    Overconfident: Clovis is overly confident in his abilities, which may pave the way to obsessive tendencies from loss. But, again, because of his exceptional progress throughout his education, and his hubris, Clovis has developed a sort of complex that makes him pompous, raucous, and short-tempered overall.

    Aspirations: Clovis wants to see more of the world, and meet one even more intelligent than he. He also wishes to leave behind his mark in the world, so that the entire world is (aware of) better off from his genius.

    Rival: Clovis does not have any current rivals, as he pointed his nose up at all other colleagues. That, and he hardly ever interacted with any of the other students. Spending most of his time with his eyes glued to books and papers, he never really made one.

    Starter Pokémon and Nickname:

    blipbug.png

    Blipbug, aka Cortex ♂​

    Starters Moveset: Struggle Bug, Recover (Egg)

    Starter Ability: Telepathy: Anticipates an ally's attack and dodges it.

    Roleplay Sample: Meet the Doctor
