PAST



IN RECENT HISTORY

1996. It's been a year since the the Johtoean Diet lifted the twenty-year ban on the distribution of Pok?mon Training licenses, in the face of a down-turned economy and increasingly disturbing feral attacks. The newly-reformed Johto Pok?mon League Federation is now open to the public, its design supported by their more developed and successful sister model in Kanto. Yet on Johtoean soil, their own Federation is still trying to break ground, as the so-called Pocket Monsters are still publicly seen as too dangerous to be ?at an inferior man?s will??as was once worded by the Diet legislation.

Preceding the repeal, conflict within the world-renown Union of Leading Trained Rational Academics, or U.L.T.R.A., hit the presses. A ?heated debate? about the ?ethics? of the organization?consisting of some of the biggest names of Pok?mon research: professors, engineers, and scientists alike?led to many affiliates disassociating themselves from the group. Those who fell away independently pursued personal interests and contributed discoveries to the collective knowledge of the public. Others stayed by U.L.T.R.A.'s founder and beneficiary, Mr. Silph. As the head of the cutting edge inter-regional science research firm, Silph Co., many supported him and what was left of U.L.T.R.A., among other things, their genetic testing on the domestication of the recently-dubbed "Beta" Pok?mon.

The abolition of the ban brought little applause by civilians. Many are too scared to celebrate a decision that could possibly render a group of newly-licensed adolescents gored in the wilderness, as the attacks are increasing, seemingly, every month. If licenses were being forced on the region?s youth, there?d been rioting. Instead, the Johto Pok?mon League Federation proposed a ?test round?, and cooperated with a reduced and reluctant U.L.T.R.A. to provide Pok?Dexes to those eligible to take up the task of Pok?mon Trainer. The League's incentive is not just to test out its Gym circuit in comparison to Kanto's, and even beyond the lure of tourism from the Trainer career. The League hopes to build a rising generation with the skill, experience, and wherewithal to control these feral monsters and employ them as defenders for the region in a threatening time for the vulnerable and unprepared.

You have been recruited by none other than the eccentric and well-respected Professor Elm to break in the new Gym circuit, and to train both common and Beta Pok?mon for his own research. Be the bold, new generation of Pokemon Trainers!

I've been waiting for this! I hope my paragraphs are long enough!

Name: Kazuko Himura

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Heteromantic Heterosexual

Appearance: http://orig08.deviantart.net/b6b3/f...e_the_past_of_the_past_by_vctzero-dbf8bfi.png (yes, that?s my DA account. LMAO older than they look! Also, thinner than the model can show. Curse you lack of options.)

Personality: Kazuko is generally kind and easygoing, commonly rolling with the punches, though she has a tendency to snark at things when annoyed, exasperated, in pain, etc. She?s not an extrovert, but she?s not an introvert either, as she won?t mind traveling either alone or with other trainers. Her newfound lease on life after arriving in Johto gives her a strong optimistic streak.

She tends to get embarrassed easily, and has major issues with forced captivity (barring pokeballs) due to some past-related issues (See: backstory). She hates seeing her loved ones hurt, whether human or Pokemon, and will often go out of her way to protect them, sometimes with no regard to her own physical, mental, or emotional well-being.

Backstory: Having ended up with some issues related to her appetite (a drastic increase with some extra risks), her mother would keep her on a short leash out of fear and worry-the farthest she?s ever gone in the world was to the shore of Route 19. While Kazuko did have friends, they all went on their own journeys at age 16, while she was held back. This caused her relationship with her mom to become strained.

Things may have seemed dull for her at first, until one day when she managed to get ahold of the letter to Silent Hills, long before her mom could. She hid it successfully in her room until the time came, where she snuck out of her home. Having no Pokemon of her own made the journey difficult-at first-until one of her old friends escorted her to Vermilion City, where she boarded the SS Aqua and was finally on her own for the first time in her life.

Goals: ?I?ve been mostly padded down my whole life due to health reasons, and I wish to see more of the world, and meet lots of different Pokemon, maybe make some new friends as well-of all kinds!?

Inventory: A couple boxes of snacks, 3 additional hair ties

Hometown: Fuschia City

Family: Her mom, Akemi Himura. Her dad is assumed to be on his own journey. (Name: Itsuki Himura)

Starter Pokemon: Honoguma
Moveset:
Ember, Scratch, Tackle and Growl
Gender: Male
Nature: Docile

Others: N/A

RP Sample: ?Yuu, I wasn?t expecting you back in Kanto for another year, if your letter was correct.? Kazuko was surprised, she was expecting the trip to Vermillion to be much more harrowing. Sneaking out of her home, then leaving Fuschia City without anyone noticing was hard enough, getting through Route 15 onwards would be even harder. 5 long routes without any Pokemon would be difficult. ?Thank you so much for your offer, is there any way I can repay you?? Kazuko might not have much, but she would find some way to repay her friend for helping her out, especially given how harrowing Routes 12-15 were. And LONG, were they!

Kazu, nice SU. I actually like the SU, despite a little quirks there and here, but overhaul okay. While i am surprised by the choice of appearance (Not many people use models), i am sorry to say that you are Pending. RP Samples must have at the very least, 100 Words, like all RP Post. Feel free to try again, but yeah. Here's a hint, use a word counter, it's useful for those who struggle, or just feel like need some help overhaul. I am hoping to see new Versions of the SU, as i do like the character itself.

Edited, for some reason, the edit notice didn't appear (or is that not a thing here, it's been a while.)

At least the RP Sample has the least amount of characters to be Accepted. I can see that you might be restarting as an RPer. Well, i wish you the best of luck during this experience, and hope that you get used to PC yet again, and that my RP helps you get used to PC as well.

I have finished the princess! :3
Name: Daisy-May Bradley

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Appearance:
jB8pNXz.png


Personality: Daisy-May is, in essence, a spoiled brat. Having grown up with everything handed to her on a silver platter, she's never once had to hear the word no or have things not go her way. She looks down on everyone else, especially those living in poverty. She believes that everyone else only exists to do her bidding.

Daisy is rude to people she doesn't consider worth her time. She's incredibly blunt with her opinions and doesn't have a censor when it comes to what she should and shouldn't say. She tends to judge others based on their appearance and flirts with guys that she considers worth her time, willing to do whatever she has to to make them "hers".

Backstory: Daisy-May is the second-youngest of the wealthy Bradley family. From a young age, she was taught that she was the best, and therefore deserved nothing but the best. Her entire life, all she's had to do is snap her fingers and a loyal butler would bring her whatever she wanted. Her mother taught her that a lady should never mess up her manicure and leave the dirty work to those below her.

Her older sister was an entrepreneur, selling imported flowers, and her brother helped their father with the family business. Her life was pretty boring until the birth of her younger sister Bella. Suddenly her family was too busy focusing on a smelly baby to pay attention to her. She was the only one to notice her brother receiving a letter inviting him to Silent Hills. He claimed to be too busy to deal with a journey, so Daisy-May decided to take his place to take a break and get away from her family (and to tell the world that the Bradley family is superior in every way).

Goals: To reinforce the idea that her family is the best of the best, and that everyone should pay attention to her and only her.

Inventory: makeup kit, credit card, extra clothes

Hometown: Goldenrod City

Family: Misty Bradley, mother and stay-at-home wife. Marcus Bradley, father and executive businessman. Rosemarie Bradley, older sister (19). Liam Bradley, older brother (18). Bella Bradley, younger sister (newborn).

Starter Pokemon: Kurusu ♀(Maki)
Moveset: Defense Curl
Scratch
Leer
Water Gun
Nature: Rash

Neat! Seeing this, Daisy-May is Accepted! Can't wait to see her in action.

Edit: Here it is.

Name: Tyson Larx Tyrone

Age: 17.

Gender: Male

Sexuality: He's Heterosexual

Appearance:
Spoiler:


Personality: Tyson is a lazy person who gives no cares to what happens anymore, this being to the fact that he started to believe that there was no meaning in trying, since things would be the same. He sleeps every time he finds it possible to do so, and he is a bit of a sweet tooth, as in, loves food, but not to the extreme.

This Said, Tyson can be a loving person. He cares for those he likes, and thus tries to help them even if "it does not change the setting" as he says. He is great at remembering the Pokemon Typing according to weaknesses and such, having it recorded on his head. He lacks Battle Skills, but, to be honest, everyone's a rookie once in a while. Does not give a hell about what the person is in terms of personality.

Backstory: Now Tyson wasn't always this devoid of energy. He once was an energetic person. He never was poor, but he also wasn't rich. However, as he grew up, and was forced to make a harsh decision on saving his mother and watching his father die due to not being able to save both, he became more devoid of energy, and thus, stopped caring about... Trying. Heck, there were even times where he simply did not go to school cause he "didn't care about trying to go". Things did not sound promising.

Turning 14, the boy eventually became slightly fan of Pokemon in general, specially in remembering the so famous "Type Chart" on top of his head. Still devoid of energy, he simply did not try in getting a Pokemon. His mother then eventually sent a letter to Professor Oak, but, due to a mistake in the mails, the letter was sent to Professor Elm. Elm then sent a letter back, asking Tyson to take on an adventure that would give him energy, and his help would be appreciated. Tyson just shrugged, got his butt off the room, and went to Johto, taking the long Routes 27 and 28 towards Silent Hills.

Goals: Asides from seeing the world, Tyson's just rolling with it.

Inventory: Tyson carries a Poke Gear for his mother to contact him, who's also worried sick. He also carries a notebook.

Hometown: Despite having been born in Celadon City, Tyson lived most of his time in Four Island, also known as Floe Island.

Family: Mother, Step-Father, Half-Younger Sister, Older Brother.

Starter Pokemon: Honoguma (Flare) | Male | Hasty | Moves: Scratch, Tackle, Ember, Leer
Appearance:
Spoiler:


Others: Nothing as far as i know.

RP Sample: I hope you enjoy smoking mafia birds.

With My SU done, i shall go and add it.

Here's your fourth, hon.​

da_girl.png
TOHRU AYANO
FEMALE / 23 YRS / @ VIRIDIAN CITY

LOOK OUT FOR FLOATS
Appearance:
Lithe at a precise five feet; warm beige complexion. Large almond eyes. (Dilated pupils? No; no, you must be hallucinating.) Broad forehead. Pierced ears and pampered nails. Long-hanging tousle of hair with bang shape evident, but ramshackle; spun strands styled like horns. Inconspicuous tattoo beneath rightmost clavicle. Beautified face: dark lipstick, winged eyeliner, penciled-in eyebrows; an opus comprised of curves and thick lines, though could be neater. Below-shoulder tapers into blatant, precarious gangliness; gaunt arms, torso, and waist. Bouffant sweatshirt draped over, obscuring figure. Hulking spiked footwear contradicts fragility. Face descends; eyes caught in projected light of a phone screen.

Personality:
A critical thinker, though one who takes an instinctual approach to most confrontations. Apathetic for her own well-being with a spacey disposition belying her constant acuity, wide eyes cast downwards, yet absorbing all directions. She finds herself regularly engaged in the goings-on of others. This can be beneficial for them — she has found herself a common advice-dispenser and conflict-diffuser within her friend group — while self-destructive and disquieting for Tohru. Her mind is always attuned to the world around her, out of empathy, out of fear; she doesn't want to see those flashing lights ever again, and she never intended to lose her goddamn future to such a risible mistake; they're going to trail her now, constantly, and hiding within the fog of Silent Hills won't throw the Houndour off the trail. But the anxiety is a minor thing, she swears by that. She's only always on-guard and guarded.

Don't approach Miss Anayo as if you think you know her; she hates that, she has too much pride for that. She can be friendly, but she's not necessarily looking for friends, unless they're looking for her — Tohru rarely intends dismissiveness, but the distance she retains from you is purposeful. Yet, ask her a question, and she will respond. Combined self-consciousness and self-importance necessitates self-worth, after all; it's not say she's always ingenuous, just taking every opportunity to find the latter.
Backstory:
Born in the 'Emerald Capital' of Viridian, and likewise returned there in late adolescence with the city's renown in the technological boom of the '90's. Tohru discovered a drive for computer programming in her late teens, strong enough to propel her through higher learning with the support of her parents. In-retrospect, she had been born with that silicone spoon in her mouth — her mother, delivered unto a prodigious lineage dating back to Kanto's feudal ages; her father, an immigrant turned influence within the Pokémon research community. It may have been the up-and-coming Dr. Elm that introduced lab assistant Ayano Kaido to then-Fujimoto Jin. He confided in his daughter afterwards: "I honestly felt homely next to her! I was a runaway, a straggler just trying to make a name for myself; she was born into finesse. She's a truly powerful woman." One who took the Johto native under her wing. And, placid to her family's dissention, her response was the erasure of their name from hers, the total embrace of humble lifestyle. The couple joined the sea of green-shingled roofs, neighbors leering out, over the years, tension building, for there entered a couple that ordered their names like the 'johts' did, that set aside breakfast by dawn and lanterns by dusk, all to feed and guide the 'Rainbow Empress.' Such secular absurdity, and especially the conceit in which the savage immigrant rose to greet them with thinned eyes and catty grin. For so long, he was illegal; before the annexation, he was alien. But in '86, the dynamics changed without the regressive Kantonians' consent, and in response, they funneled their bemusement into violent assault on Kaido's person. His firstborn daughter was on the front porch when it happened.
That moment was provocative; Jin demanded the family move north to Vermillion City where close affiliation with Johto-native merchants made its coastline the most colorful and culturally-enriched in all of Kanto. Yasu was born here, the mischief-maker in resolute pursuit after her strides. Of course, his favorite parts of Vermillion were the Pokémon: the ripples in the bay water cast by Magikarp — maybe even Dratini —, the eggs one of Father's coworkers might be cradling that he'd warn the boy not to touch. The idea of Pokémon as compatriots was an enigmatic one to Tohru at first. It was easy to feel like an outsider peering inwards when perusing the full-color encyclopedia wrestled from her father's office and brother's grabby hands. Anayo Kaido had a devotion to these bug-eyed animals, rooted in ages of ancestry, spiritual and scientific belief, all which he could discuss for hours until it overwhelmed his hapless daughter. It was Mother whom appealed to her: "They're nothing like you or I, which is why we have to work with them to make the world a better place for both of us. We're not the better species, you know." The reason why, then, didn't they let any into the house? "Because some Pokémon choose to be wild." But some chose to partner with humans, and the capsules were a symbol of that bond. All this technology — and both she and her father agreed here — was emblematic of a link between people and Pokémon that transcends physicality. Tohru could thank her culture and her beloved family for enlightening her to the perspective she now holds, and yet Tohru Anayo's gratitude for them is challenged in the manner of which their name follows her own. When enrolled in school, Mister and Missus Anayo sat her and Yasu down, asked whether they wanted to set pride before comfort or do as the Kantonians did, and to the latter both siblings agreed. Hence, on her first report card: Tohro Anayo.
Pre-university, Tohru interned at Silph Co. in Saffron; post-university, she joined Masaki Sonezaki's independent programming team with development of the first Pokémon Storage System (to which Masaki later adopted total credit for after a legal dispute with its remaining members.) A controversy erupted after the prototype's release: a member of a rivalling indie company claimed Masaki's group was practicing substance abuse, having seen "smoke in the windows." Casual consumption of performance-upping drugs intended for Pokémon had become a massive issue amongst Kantonian youth with access to a Pokémart. Viridian's police force was swiftly involved. Sure enough, further investigation uncovered pills callously thrown in a garbage bin rounding Masaki's headquarters. This was later traced to Miss Anayo herself, who claimed sifting through personal property was an affront to her rights, and as correct as she was with charges being dropped after testimony, her association with drug abuse at all made her a scapegoat for her coworkers. Masaki promptly dropped her from the project. A dejected Tohru holed herself at her parents' for about a year before a familiar face arose from the shadows of Johto: Dr. Elm, the same who had granted opportunity to her father, had signed a letter summoning her overseas. It could have been for any reason, but Elm didn't want programming assistance, instead projecting an ulterior motive that coincided with an entirely different career path — an entirely new one, at that; Pokémon Training for profit was unheard of, but with the growing proliferation of the Indigo League, it was easy to premeditate a shift in expectation. Once-committed family men were already hitting the road as if a new gold fever was upon them. Like them, Tohru followed the money.

Family:
MOTHER // FATHER // UNCLE // BROTHER
Inventory:
---------------
image.png
Early Capsule Model — Is this human supremacy epitomized, holding power at the press of a button and crank of a knob? At any rate, Daddy's had this for years. It's a heirloom evocative of early Johtonese heritage.
image.png
Wooden Ofuda — Engrained in it are the symbols "虹の皇后." There's a string attached, but I don't really wear this.
image.png
Guard Spec x4 — Powerful narcotics designed to prevent performance reduction when consumed. Don't worry though; I'm clean, I swear.
image.png
X-Accuracy x2 — Expensive, fast-acting stimulants that sharpen awareness and reflexes once consumed. Don't worry though; I'm clean, I swear.
image.png
Packed Lunch — Fruit; tea biscuits; half a sandwich, with love from Mom. She even removed the crust (my favorite part)...

Cosmetics Pouch

Goals:
--- Kick any chemical dependency (or not).
--- Learn self-reliance.
--- Gauge the profitability of becoming 'Pokémon Master'.​
We're holding a HAPPA hostage for you!

the Teeny Leaf Pokémon
GROWL / TACKLE / RAZOR LEAF / COUNTER
Chiko♂ — Lax
Doesn't seem to mind companionship, though responds indifferently to most interaction. Overall docility may predate a comfortable alliance.

Other:

--------"Don't patronize me, hon.
--------"Here's a sample of what I'm capable of."

Some added context for the sample: it's a post from a roleplay on a different site. My character's name is (was?) Kimber Q. Comberbache; the idea was for him and the rest of the cast to start in this 'Temple of Life' location.

Feel free, if you have any preguantas o problemos, to lemme hear 'em, amigo!​

► CHAMPION RIVEN WYNN IS LOOKING FOR A CHALLENGE!

►Age
> 20

►Gender
> BOY / GIRL / Crossdresser

►Personality
> Riven is an unrepentant jerk who treats everyone below him like trash.
> Who's below him? Everyone, of course.

►Backstory
> Having left his home and family on the tiny Floe Island at the age of fourteen, Riven Wynn had taken his first journey with the Charmander and Dratini given to him by his parents. He quickly rose through the ranks as a pretty-faced teen with ruthless strategies and equally fierce Pokémon. Never giving his opponents a chance to rest and never sharing his secret methods for raising his Pokémon, Riven and his team took on the Pokémon League challenge with aplomb, accepting battles from any who passed by him wanting. One by one, gym leaders fell, and Riven had a claim to fame and an attitude to match. The Indigo Plateau's Elite Four was the only challenge he felt he truly faced, but even they couldn't wall off Riven and his team's power and determination forever. Over the course of six years, Riven had travelled thousands of miles on foot across multiple regions, become a television celebrity, and ultimately took the title of Champion of the Kanto and Johto regions.

> Months after maintaining his esteemed position in widely-broadcasted challenges, Riven was bored, becoming more of a caretaker than a trainer when many potential challengers couldn't even make it to him, and working with the Elite Four off-duty. In private, he took to crossdressing, making many of his own clothes, as well. Devising a plan to walk amongst the masses once more without a crowd gathering on a regular basis, he decided to take a leave of absence from the League, leaving his title team in the care of the Elite Four. Bringing with him the offspring of his original two Pokémon, along with a Key Stone and his now-Charizard's Mega Stone, Riven wants his newborn Pokémon to see the world as he did, and maybe find a new challenge.


►Starter Pokémon
> Charmander
>> Ember | Dragon Rush | Thunder Punch | Metal Claw

> Dratini
>>Aqua Jet | Wrap | Dragon Rush | Agility

Well, didn't take as long as I thought it was. I got excited when I was looking at the pokemon and wanted to go ahead and create an SU.

Name: Sora Asai
Age: 18.
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Heterosexual (Which also means straight, if you are like me and didn't know.)
Appearance:
Spoiler:

His hair is black instead of the color in the picture. He is also a bit more muscular than the guy in the picture.

Personality: Being an older brother, Sora is usually kind to those younger than he is. He still tends to get along with anyone who is kind. He doesn't really get along with know-it-alls or people who believe they are better than everyone else. He loves making friends and will do what it takes to keep them safe. He tends to care more about his family than those he doesn't know though. Especially his little sister who he gets along well with.

Sora is extremly active and loves to explore anytime the chance comes up. He knows the type chart well, but he doesn't have the battle stratgy to back up his knowledge. He tends to be unpredictable in battles because he doesn't plan too much in advanced. That being said, this can become a problem when he acts without thinking and will sometimes lead him into a situation that is worse or cause him to get hurt.

When he loses in a battle or anything that should make him unhappy, he tends to hide it and act as if everything is ok. However, this is only a ploy to hide the disappointment in himself. This will wear him down over time if the mistake that was made is not corrected. Sometimes his feelings are true as not everything will disappoint him; only mistakes in something that is fond of.


Backstory:
Growing up in Mahogany Town, he has become accustomed to small towns as well as the colder weather that they tend to have up north, especially around Ice Path. This also led him to becoming a fan of Ice Pokemon. However, that was not the only he was fond of Ice Pokemon.

When he was 10, he snuck out one night to explore the forest north of the town. It was a winter night and the moon was full. He climbed a tree and a limb broke, sending him into the freezing Lake of Rage. Instantly, he became extremely cold and unable to move. A Gyarados appeared from the dark depths of the water and started to attack. Sora thought he was dead, but right when he was about to be eaten, a Ice Beam shot out from the trees and scared the Gyarados off, the pokemon or trainer then pulled him out of the water. When Sora woke up, he was at home in a make shift pallet in front of his fire place.

As he got older, he started to help his mother, along with his younger sister, at their bakery. He started to study about pokemon and became more interested in following his father's footsteps who he had not seen since he was 4. His father was a researcher who loves to study about many pokemon, but was fond of Dragon Type an Fire Type Pokemon. His father traveled to many places and was still traveling, rarely coming home. They new he was still alive, because the Bank Account they had made for Sora, was still having deposits every now and then.

Goals: He wants to learn all he can about Ice Pokemon. His goal is to catch every single Ice Pokemon in existence. He also wants to become a cook like his mother and learn more recipes.

Inventory:
~ He tends to carry around notebooks to write down recipes and other foods.
~ He carries a list of known Ice Type Pokemon.
~ Poke-Gear
~ A picture that his sister drew for him that showed a very detailed picture of him and her together with various Ice Pokemon.

Hometown: Mahogany Town, Johto.

Family:
Yuki Asai - 15 year old sister.
Ayame Asai - Mother
Tatsu Asai - Father

Starter Pokemon:
Kurusu/Male
Name: Koru
Nature: Modest
Attacks: Powder Snow, Headbutt, Water Gun, Water Pulse

Others: None

RP Sample:
Probably one of my favorite RP Posts, I have ever done.

I didn't realize: there's no indication that one of the current 'sidequests' has been claimed (by yours truly) on the in-character thread prior to, of course, reading what's there.

So I'll announce here on the out-of-character thread ? and encourage others who might choose a 'sidequest' in the near future ? that Tohru has chosen "A Cherry Walk," and apologize if not doing so earlier caused any confusion.

(I hate to 'claim' anything, really, but I suppose that's how things are organized here.)

IT is fine. I should have realized that before. But yes, if you need a Quest that has a player limit, pm, vm or dm me, or of course, ask in the Discord Chat, and the first one(s) to get it will partake in it, and i will announce on a new post or edit the latest post of mine from now on. But indeed, to make tradition with stuff:

Quests Taken up so far:

Tohru Ayano has promptly accepted and began the sidequest: "A Cherry Walk"

Alton Marie Mocinno IV
26 - male - bi as hecke


The Moccino family became known as development tycoons in Sinnoh, leading the charge in building iconic landmarks and common constructions for generations. As travel between regions became more regular, Alton IV?s grandmother Katerina decided to pursue opportunities in Kanto as well. Moving her branch of the Mocinnos to Kanto proved fruitful and they eventually expanded their influence into Johto, about twenty-five years before present day. The hope was to make Johto much safer for both adventurers and those going about their daily lives, but not much progress was made before the Johtonese Congregate passed the ban on trainer licenses. While most of the Mocinnos fell back to work in Kanto and Sinnoh, a few stayed in Johto to further develop the likes of Goldenrod and Olivine.

Thus, Alton IV was raised in Goldenrod City. In an effort to give him a ?normal? childhood, he received a public education- though his parents made very sure said education was up to their standards by paying for Goldenrod City?s educators to attain higher education themselves. This move had far-reaching, mostly positive consequences, but what mattered to Eleuia and Alton III is that the primary goal was achieved. Alton IV grew to be a hardworking and humble individual with an interest in working within his family?s empire.

Now that the mandate has been lifted, the Mocinnos are at it again with the intent to further develop Johto. Alton is taking on the role of a trainer in order to learn about the current state of the region and understand what people travelling will need during their adventure. He also is taking notes on potential for updating and urbanization. His findings are regularly sent back to his parents in Goldenrod for further discussion.

Alton has his head in the clouds. All the time. He hyper-focuses on ideas often and will spend days doing nothing but chasing them to their conclusion. He?s very practical and hands-on in his work. He genuinely wants to help people and primarily does so through his work. He?s very unsure of himself when it comes to human interaction and doesn?t have many friends, though his extensive family makes up for that.
