Living Qualities [IC]

Gender: Female

Age: Seventeen

Region: Kanto

Appearance: You would not think much of Gloria if you took a glance; she is quite scrawny and not very tall, giving her a very weak and fragile appearance. This effect is amplified by her very pale skin which is often tinted pink due to the harmful rays of the sun. Glory has very long black hair which she keeps done up in a single braid, occasionally with a ribbon woven in. Her eyes are green, though they tend a little bit more toward the blue spectrum, especially when she is wearing blue or purple. A typical outfit consists of a pair of long, gray-green fishing pants- the kind that will seem to deflect water and can zip off to form shorts -and a dark, fairly water-resistant shirt. Glory wears her favorite green and black jacket almost every day, and carries all of her necessary trainers' equipment in her worn, gray backpack. Although she doesn't often wear items on her head, Gloria can sometimes be seen with a bandana over her hair to prevent sunburn. On especially sunny days, Gloria also puts on a pair of simple, cheap sunglasses. The outfit is complete with a pair of dark grey hiking boots and fingerless gloves of the same shade.

Personality: Friendly, though not outgoing, Gloria always assumes the best of people and attempts to solve conflicts with as little physical action as possible. She is not easily frightened, and will try to handle difficult situations with a calm attitude and a little bit of straight-up logic. When confronted directly by unkindly folk, Gloria will do her best to ignore them, or, if the prior does not work, she will result to [hopefully] witty insults. Glory focuses more on the defense and strategy side of battle rather than raw attack or power. She takes her time and can often find ways to think outside the proverbial box. While some of her solutions and ideas are refreshingly simple, others are so complex and strange that many people end op thinking of Gloria as odd or insane. Glory, however, does not mind being thought of as weird and will occasionally look for an excuse to be outcast. In spite of her friendly attitude, Gloria has, quite frankly, poor social skills and can often find comfort in staying away from potentially awkward situations. Because of this, Glory will hang towards the edge of groups or travel on her own. Overall, Gloria is a hard thinker who tries to make the best of every situation, while at the same time preparing for the worst there could be.

History: As mentioned above, Gloria is quite calm in situations which would incite fear in others, and many think of her as being fearless. While Gloria is afraid of many things, she is well able to control her unease thanks to everyday life growing up in Lavender Town.

Lavender Town is quite small, and Gloria spent her childhood knowing everyone- in spite of the mystery of pokemon graves and hauntings, the people of Lavender are close-knit and without secrets. Every child who lives there, however, will without a doubt be convinced to enter the tower by his or her peers as a sort of "right of passage". Glory was seven when an older boy convinced her to enter the mysterious and supposedly haunted building, and she was quite nervous at the start of the attempt. The challenge was for Gloria to climb to the top of the tower, Memorize the inscription on the largest gravestone in the top room, and report it back to the boy who dared her. It was the most terrifying experience of Gloria's life. Once the horror was over however, Gloria decided to study ghost-type pokemon in an attempt to conquer her fear. A shiny, new sylph scope and a book on ghost-types came to Gloria as birthday gifts, and soon all trauma caused by the tower was behind.

Three years after this event, Glory ended up returning to the top of the tower with a completely different goal in mind. As a ten-year-old, Glory was now allowed to set off from home, with a pokemon at her side, bound for adventure. Due to its size, Lavender town does not have a starting pokemon system in place, and so most trainers born there end up heading into Saffron for their first pokemon. Glory, however, did not want to burden her parents with the cost of a trip to the big city, and so she armed herself with six pokeballs and climbed the tower. It is not easy to capture a wild pokemon without one of your own, but Gloria manage to coax a young ghastly into the second of her six pokeballs. Now she had four free for use, and boy she was going to use them.

After the capture of her first partner, Gloria set off around Kanto. Seven long years of travel from town to town. Seven long years of battles and badges. Seven long years and Glory reached the pokemon league, and won. The moment of ecstasy, of disbelief and pride, was like none she had ever experienced. Gloria Williams. Champion Gloria Williams. Gloria returned home with the news, telling all of her friends and foes along the way. When at last Glory took her first step back in Lavender Town, her first step as a champion into her home, she felt true happiness. Gloria's parents had heard tales of Gloria's accomplishments many days earlier, but the sight of their ragged champion daughter was a sight to behold.

Tragically, after such a momentous uplifting, there was a momentous fall. A dangerous villain was on the loose; a cryptid pokemon which kills and eats its enemies, and all are its enemies. Upon hearing of the horror, Gloria knew what her first duty as champion must be.

______________________________________________________________________________________

Poltergeist "Pol" ♂

Item: Pecha Berry

Appearance: Poltergeist, due to his somewhat unusual evolution, did not completely change from haunter to gengar. He is of a pinker tint than gengar should be, and thus much the same color as a haunter. He also has the same disconnected hands that one would only expect to seen on a haunter, and while he does have feet as well, they are likewise disconnected.

Personality: Poltergeist is smart, but a little bit of a pushover. He will listen intently to his trainer and to everything she says, no matter the consequence. Other pokemon on his team will boss him around as well, though Pol picks up a little attitude when commanded by someone outside of his group. Although the strongest team member and expected to be the leader, Poltergeist is not really boss material and gives up the "team leader" title to Matriarch.

History: Poltergeist was coaxed into a pokeball by Glory when she was a young trainer, and has been her most dedicated partner ever since. Normally, haunter will only evolve into gengar if it trades hands; Pol, on the other hand, did not ever leave Gloria's care and ended up evolving anyway. Gloria was not around when Poltergeist evolved, and at first she still believed him to be a haunter. The dramatic size difference and feet clued her in eventually.

Ability: Levitate

Moves:
Shadow Punch
Shadow Ball
Toxic
Venoshock


Franklin ♂

Item: Oran Berry

Appearance: Franklin is about the most ordinary electabuzz you will see. His only defining feature is a scar that wraps around his right arm. This scar was formed when Franklin was messing with a tangle of wires in an abandoned factory and spent three days tearing his skin to shreds when he got stuck.

Personality: Franklin is very curious and playful, which can sometimes lead him to do exceptionally stupid things. While he is not very bright, Franklin is very friendly and he is loved by all of his teammates for his fun and encouraging attitude.

History: Glory found Franklin in an abandoned factory where many electrical pokemon liked to gather. The first time she saw him, Glory decided not to capture him. However, Franklin was cold in the factory that night and decided to curl up next to a warm sleeping trainer. This won over Gloria's heart and she ended up welcoming Franklin into the team the next day.

Ability: Static

Moves:
Thunderpunch
Thunderbolt
Thunder
Brick Break


Jormungad ♂

Item: Oran Berry

Appearance: Jormungand is an ordinary arbok with a nasty habit of chewing on his tail. If this behavior isn't a dead giveaway, Jor can be easily recognized by the resulting broken look, scars, and shredded flesh all over his tail.

Personality: Jormungand is one of the smartest members of Gloria's team, though he doesn't usually use this for good. While Jor does not often bother his trainer, the other team members are always on the lookout for tricks. Jormungand deeply enjoys messing with others.

History: Jormungand, Hel, and Fenrir, was adopted by Gloria from a pokemon rescue center. Supposedly their old trainer had been abusive and all three pokemon had to go through a sort of pokemon therapy before being handed over to Glory. After receiving the three, Gloria changed their names and gave them a happy second chance.

Ability: Shed Skin

Moves:
Toxic
Poison Fang
Wrap
Poison Tail


Hel ♀

Item: Sitrus Berry

Appearance: Not in her right mind would Gloria call Hel shiny, but she does have odd gold patches in places on her face and "hands" that would appear to be shiny skin. Glory does not know whether these are the result of abuse or whether Hel is genuinely part-shiny.

Personality: Hel is very cold and without empathy or sympathy of any kind. She is logical, to the point, and loyal. She doesn't take crap from any of the other pokemon on the team and rarely even communicates with them. Hel is, however, very dedicated to Gloria.

History: Jormungand, Hel, and Fenrir, was adopted by Gloria from a pokemon rescue center. Supposedly their old trainer had been abusive and all three pokemon had to go through a sort of pokemon therapy before being handed over to Glory. After receiving the three, Gloria changed their names and gave them a happy second chance.

Ability: Levitate

Moves:
Shadow Ball
Shadow Sneak
Curse
Torment


Fenrir ♂

Item: Persim Berry

Appearance: Fenrir is large, even for an arcanine, and his shoulder easily towers over people's heads. Years of neglect while being chained up resulted in thick scars and patches without fur on all four of Fenrir's ankles.

Personality: Fenrir's personality and attitude changes a lot. On occasion, he can be very sweet and charming- a gentle giant. At other times he can suddenly turn aggressive and has been known to bite. Almost all of the time Fenrir is quite stupid, but there are moments where something will seem to click.

History: Jormungand, Hel, and Fenrir, was adopted by Gloria from a pokemon rescue center. Supposedly their old trainer had been abusive and all three pokemon had to go through a sort of pokemon therapy before being handed over to Glory. After receiving the three, Gloria changed their names and gave them a happy second chance.

Ability: Intimidate

Moves:
Fire Fang
Flamethrower
Extremespeed
Roar


Matriarch ♀ and Todd ♂

Item: Silk Scarf

Appearance: Matriarch is a big, tough, battle-scarred kangaskhan whose elusive soft side is only visibly in her slightly more greyish coloring leftover from her youth. Todd is one of the more unusual kangaskhan that Glory has seen, for while he should have black eyes that later turn red, he actually has light blue ones.

Personality: Matriarch is the queen, the boss, the empress, the all around ruler of the team. No. Questions. Asked. She is down to business, serious, hardworking, and very powerful. Most of the other pokemon in the team look up to her. However, behind the serious, boss-lady attitude is a much gentler pokemon who is loving, caring, and helpful to all of her teammates. Todd, like most very young children, is playful and happy, and he asks a lot of questions of the other pokemon. Most of them find him annoying, but will play along if mama intervenes.

History: When Glory caught Matriarch in the Safari Zone, she was not aware of the young one in her pouch. Although pokemon league official rules declare that trainers may only have up to six pokemon in their team, an exception was made for Todd because he cannot survive without his mother. Once Todd is able to graduate from the pouch, he will be sent off of the team.

Ability: Inner Focus

Moves:
Dizzy Punch
Endure
Outrage
Earthquake

Gender: Female
Age: 17
Region: Johto
Appearance:

Ingrid is tall, 5'6 and about 100 lbs. She normally has her hair pulled back in an intricate braidlike bun (Shown in the picture above). Her eyes are piercing and to her timid Gilligan, a bit intimidating when she's angry.
What she's wearing really depends on the weather, but she isn't all too flashy. In cold weather, she sticks with a sweatshirt, leggings, and hiking boots for snowy days, sometimes a scarf or hat for blizzards.
On warmer days, she wears khaki shorts, camisoles, and sports shoes or sandals; maybe fingerless gloves for when she feels like biking to where she needs to go.
She has a long, knotted scar on her right calf from an accident when she was little.

Personality: Ingrid is stubborn, sassy, and a bit rude; everything that could describe a teenager. Despite this, she is a fabulous trainer, often pushing her Pokemon to extremes to get the best out of them. She's not very sympathetic when they make mistakes, often blaming them instead of herself for training them too hard. However, she usually gets more mad at the opponent than her Pokemon, being a bit of a sore loser. Even when her Pokemon get hurt badly, she's more, "Heal now, yell later." She has been trying to be less harsh since Gilligan's accident, but without much progress.
Outside of her training life, she's rather friendly, and normally less serious than in battles. Ingrid likes to kid around and play pranks, sometimes going to extremes to get reactions out of people. She is an excellent liar, able to conjure fantasy within moments and being able to speak it with excellent tact and influence, making her words easily believable.
Ingrid is a bit of a vigilante, not being able to stand violence in public, sometimes even taking things into her own hands than letting her pokemon or the police handle it, which is why she got involved in Team Rocket. As you probably guessed, she has a bad temper that can only be quelled by her friends or Pokemon.

History: Ingrid grew up in Violet City with her father, her mother having died during childbirth. She didn't make much friends because of her temper, and the ones she did make were normally stray Pokemon. She never had aspirations of becoming a Pokemon Trainer, let alone the champion. However, when she was staying over at her friend's house in New Bark Town, Elm decided to give both of them a Pokémon to play with. She was happy to make friends with her new Chikorita, and so was her friend, a young man by the name of Gilligan who had received a Cyndaquil.

Ingrid's father was strict, so she was unable to keep her Pokemon at her house. Gilligan took care of both of them for her, and Ingrid often visited. The pair often talked and dreamed about the day they could leave home with their new Pokémon, together, and become trainers. But their plans were crushed.

When both of them were nine, one year away from becoming trainers, Gilligan got in a bad accident. It is still unclear to the authorities what had happened, but one day he was seemingly murdered, his bloody and mangled body found at the base of a hill near the town, Cyndaquil nowhere to be seen. To this day, the police are unsure of the murderer, and there are no suspects.

Ingrid was completely and utterly broken. She wouldn't speak to her father, she wouldn't eat, she wouldn't even visit her Pokemon who just weeks previously had been so loved. Ingrid was even too weak to visit Gilligan's memorial.

Ingrid didn't want to journey anymore. She refused to leave with her Chikorita for years, until when she was twelve, her father passed away as well due to health problems. All that she had lived for was gone. Now she wanted to be gone too.
Ingrid was sent to New Bark to live with Professor Elm and his family, being that they were close to her father. That was the first time in three years she saw her Chikorita. She thought he would hate her, after she abandoned him for so long; but all he saw was a hurt little girl, and he was more than happy to be with her again. Although she was still healing, she decided then to leave on her journey. She named him Gilligan after her friend that had died, and although she was still rude and blunt, with Gilligan's help, she was able to grow from her mistakes.

It was not long before she realized her talent in Pokemon battles. She also discovered the murderers of her best friend; Team Rocket. They had apparently wanted his Cyndaquil, and were willing to kill for it. She wasted no time in taking them down, no regrets in the pain she had caused.

Before long, she had obtained all eight badges, as well as disbanded team rocket. Although she went through hardships, she was able to conquer the champion, and earn his title.

______________________________________________________________________________________


Gilligan ♂

Item: Durin Berry

Appearance: Gilligan has a burn scar running from his right eye down his neck from a battle with Team Rocket's Houndoom. The petals on his neck are also a bit tattered. Other than that, he is very healthy and vividly colored.

Personality: Gilligan is rather timid and tends to hold back in battles. He is also very protective, however, which is how he got his scar; protecting Ingrid from being attacked. He also has a bit of a crush on Tasha. Gilligan loves to let Ingrid ride on his back. Even though he is normally gentle, he gets very possessive with his Durin Berries, his favorite food. He always has one with him.

History: Met in New Bark Town, a gift from Professor Elm.

Ability: Overgrow

Moves: Petal Dance, Sweet Scent, Safeguard, Earthquake, Natural Gift


Pabu ♂

Item: Silk Scarf

Appearance: Pabu is very thin and long, with soft and sleek fur. He enjoys wrapping himself around Ingrid's neck due to his unusual length, so he may be mistaken for a scarf if not for the small silk scarf around his neck himself. He has a small limp in his back right paw.

Personality: Pabu is very obedient and confident, a strange attribute due to the fact he is a weaker species of Pokemon. He has a problem with following Ingrid around, often taking after her even when ordered not to do so. Pabu tends to be a bit rebellious and uncaring towards Ingrid's orders in general, often coming out of his Pokeball and fighting when not directed. His zeal and passion has been what has kept him safe on the team.

History: Found at Route 29.

Ability: Frisk

Moves: Focus Blast, Shadow Claw, Return, Rest, Sleep Talk

Arbiter "Arby" ♂

Item: Sea Incense

Appearance: Arby is a bit of a dull color. One of the lights on his head tends to flicker on and off when using electric type moves for unknown reasons.

Personality: Arby is generally laid back and his ego is a bit inflated. He hates to lose and often holds grudges against Pokémon that beat him. Arby also has a problem with teamwork; he feels like he has to do everything by himself.

History: As a chinchou, he began to follow Ingrid whilst she was surfing around the whirl islands. She caught him as soon as he was discovered.

Ability: Volt Absorb

Moves: Rain Dance, Thunder, Surf, Signal Beam, Stockpile

Tasha ♀

Item: Leftovers

Appearance: Tasha has an upside down u shaped scar on her flank from her rough tauros battle.

History: Ingrid found Tasha injured at the safari zone gate from a battle with an angry Tauros. Tasha happily became part of the team after Ingrid and Gilligan saved her.

Ability: Early Bird

Moves: Swagger, Power Swap, Psychic, Shadow Ball, Baton Pass


Maximus ♂

Item: Expert Belt

Appearance: As the newest and youngest member of the team, Maximus doesn't have any noticeable scars or injuries. He is very fluffy, being rather vain about his appearance. Overall, he is the epitome of a normal Honchkrow.

Personality: Maximus is a bit awkward around other Pokemon. He and Gilligan are seen as rivals, Maximus often picking on Gilligan when he gets lonely. Despite this, they can actually get along and work well in battle together when needed. He is closest to Pabu, who he often takes for rides. With the other pokemon, however, he is a bit shy.

History: Met in the National Park after stealing one of Gilligan's Durin Berries. After nearly beating him into a pulp, Ingrid caught Maximus.

Ability: Moxie

Moves: Dark Pulse, Toxic, Foul Play, Fly, Hyper Beam


Parachute ♀

Item: Metronome

Appearance: Parachute is very pretty, with soft, fine fur and long tails that she extends into the air and spreads out unlike other ninetales (hence the name Parachute).

Personality: Parachute is a bit of an oddball. Although being calm, out of the blue she will do odd things no one expects, such as getting playful with Pabu or suddenly jumping out of her Pokeball and tearing around while setting things on fire. She can also get in "moods" being defiant or sassy to the others. She isn't very careful and is overall clumsy, both in and out of battle. Parachute likes to sleep with Ingrid when they are camping, keeping her warm.

History: Found wandering around during a concert in Olivine City. Ingrid took care of her for a while, and before she knew it Parachute was part of the team.

Age: 17
Region: Hoenn
Appearance:
Additional Info: Taz is 5'9" feet tall, sometimes wears sunglasses and has black eyes.


Personality:

Taz is generally seen as a very jolly and outward person, always being good company. He is happy-go-lucky but in no way immature or foolish - he might think of everyone as a friend, but he always keeps his guard up. He isn't quick to judge people, he always give them a second chance as he is kindhearted and always has good intentions. He is not the person to hold a grudge over something; he doesn't mind talking about anything with anyone. Taz is over-competitive, though, and overconfident, although he doesn't show it - he thinks being cocky is the key conquering the battle's psychology field, even though he doesn't really underestimate any opponent. He also gets excited very easily and is extremely impatient, always thriving for adventure.

What makes Taz' personality attracting is his talent for expressing himself - he often imbues his speech with his emotions, influencing it heavily, sometimes resulting in misunderstandings that hurt him deeply. He is very sensitive and takes insults or hurtful comments personally; some times he is depressed, but still seeks company.
Despite the negative effect on his behaviour his feelings can cause, he is an open person and would gladly talk about anything with anyone. He's not afraid of laughing out loud, seeming like an every-day person that likes to have fun. Taz's cheerfulness and team spirit are rather contagious; he often inspires the ones surrounding him to join his cause.

Once people get to know Taz, they really start to admire his delicate soul, which is as fragile as an artist's, and as mighty as a warrior's at the same time. He can see through things and their original means; he also possesses the ability of observation in-depth and an amazing prowess at solving mysteries.
Taz's ethics have a positive effect on his personality - he is able to maintain his calm, although always eager and impatient when it comes to adventure as said before.

History:

Taz was born in the majestic Agate village, Orre region, into a family of retired professional trainers. As a kid, he always aspired to become like his father, Romulus, who had won four Underground Tournaments in a row, and to befriend the most powerful and elegant allies like his mother did. When his 10th birthday arrived, his parents decided it was time to set Taz onto his own adventure - and so, they gifted him an Eevee, whose name was Papercut. But he was too young to travel around, so he spent the next three years playing and training the Eevee around Relic Forest. He battled with his father multiple times at the start, Romulus using an equally strong as Taz' Eevee - but seeing Papercut getting stronger, he challenged others from the village and eventually beat all of them, displaying an amazing amount of skill and talent.
Romulus saw his potential as a trainer and decided to take him to Phenac City's Trainer School. The two of them moved to Phenac, where Taz started his course in that school; he was challenging others to battle often.

Another three years passed, Taz had now finished his school course and was ready to take on the Phenac City's colosseum challenge. Having a Jolteon now and two more Pokemon in his arsenal, a Charmeleon and a Metang, he thought it would be easy to get through the trainers - but the challenge proved to be far more difficult than he could ever imagine. Stubborn as he was, he took it personally and trained his Pokemon harder, battling anyone he would see on the streets of Phenac. His father then gifted him his Shelgon who proved to be a loyal ally and a strong addition to his team.
So, after some months, he took on the Colosseum challenge he so wanted to win; only to fail again. Disappointed and heartbroken, he announced to his father that he is quitting as a Pokemon trainer, but Romulus prevented him from doing so, reminding him that we learn from our mistakes. He convinced him that not all was lost, and that Taz was old enough to start travelling around the world. Taz considered this, and he decided to travel to Hoenn.

Hoenn proved to be as challenging and fun as Taz had expected; he travelled all around it, meanwhile training his Pokemon and looking for new ones. Having caught two more Pokemon, a Duosion and a Zoroark, his team excelled at battling; Taz started collecting badges from the Gym leaders, but he had no intention of challenging the league at first. But the friends he had made pushed him towards that direction, and, after hard training, he overcame the Hoenn Elite Four and became the Champion. But he eventually grew bored of the League, even though he was unbeaten by then.
Romulus, knowing his son well, had sent him a newspaper in the mail. The newspaper had something on it which managed to caught Taz's attention; he searched the internet for more information involving it and found out about the terror that had spread.

When the news of the mysterious, exciting but dangerous carnivorous Pokemon reached Taz's ear, he considered it as a brand new level of experience; the life-risking kind of one. He wouldn't miss the 'fun' for a million of dollars.

Appearance:
Five feet six inches in height, and approximately one hundred and nineteen pounds creates a petite yet graceful shape. Possessing a body more like that of a dancer, rather than that of an athlete. Eve attempts to maintain an elegant appearance at all times. Her wavy brunette hair, rests just over the length of her petite shoulders. The same hair serves as a frame for a set of soft, almond shaped, blue eyes which seem to pop against the muted peach tone of her skin. Her face is relatively unmarred aside from the small dusting of freckles coating her cheeks.

Her usual outfit consists of one "military style" breathable jacket. White in color, spread upturned collar, long sleeves and closing with five front metallic buttons. Her black toned, crinkle styled skinny jeans are held in place by a functional red leather utility/Pokeball holster. Beneath this rests her flat heel, easy wear, lace up gray boots.

Personality:
Extremely private, and can often be naturally impassive as well, which makes Eve easy to be misread and misunderstood. She is often considered cold and uncaring, even (by the opinions of strangers) in regards to her Pokemon. A perfectionist that verges almost on the point of self abuse. Due to such traits, Eve is often considered a social pariah. Personal relationships, particularly romantic ones, do not come easily to her.

Eve is always positive that her answer is the correct one. To attempt to dissuade her is almost a lesson in futility. She can eventually be reasoned with, only if the suggestion makes logical sense. The inability to express herself in a verbal, or any personal way, has lead to an inability to perceive many social norms for what they are. She approaches life with an analytical approach. Everything can be studied, defined and improved.

Underneath all this, at her deepest core, Eve truly does care about others and their wellbeing. If only she could find some way of letting them know.

History:
One of two daughters born to wealthy couple Gideon and Belle Magnolia. Eve had never wanted for much materially. Born and raised in the bustling heart of Castelia city, Eve was a city girl from birth. The melting pot of incorporated cultures and foods from other regions resulted in a rich, and educational upbringing. She loved every aspect of the city, except having to return home every evening. Eve's mother was an abusive alcoholic that would result in her being passed out, only to turn into an awakening filled with profanities and verbal abuse. The result was compounded by Gideon, (Eve's father) not being present the majority of the time and believed the facts to be overly exaggerated.

Being the youngest of the two daughters, Eve was primarily cared for by her older sister Olivia. Olivia resented her mother as much as Eve pitied her. The day Olivia left for her own Pokemon journey was the saddest day of Eve's life. It was the same day that Eve swore she would follow her sister's footsteps and become a trainer herself.

A few years later, that day finally came. The dream had now morphed and evolved. Her ultimate dream now to become a renown Pokemon professor, was to begin with her becoming one of the best trainers in all of Unova. She left on her journey, a brief, lukewarm goodbye to her father and a perfunctory dismissal to her mother. She eagerly picked her starter Pokemon, a little Snivy she named Chloro.

She quickly began to progress through the league, losses came, but victories came more. In an effort to provide an original thesis on the habits of Pokemon; Eve quickly shunned the use of her given Pokedex, and instead took her own notes of each creature she encountered and captured. She never realized just how far she had progressed until the day came she stood at the entrance to the Elite Four, all eight Unova badges in hand.

It was then that Eve, with great effort, dispatched the Elite Four and the then reigning champion. The pomp and circumstance that followed, was in fact more difficult for her to handle than the journey itself. She was not well received by the media and people of Unova. Interpreted as "cold" and "harsh", not possessing "feeling". Here she stood, the champion of a region who didn't even deem her worthy.

It was difficult, however she found a way to cope with the reproach. She secluded herself away, one day hoping for a trainer powerful enough to supplant her position. That day has yet to come, and instead Eve has only withdrawn from society more, and delved deeper into her research.

Moves: Earthquake, Stone Edge, Acrobatics, Thrash & Double Team.

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Region: Johto

Appearance: Brianna has a white, literally perfect skin, with no pimples or any other thing that appears in someone's face. Her face is round, and her forehead is always covered by a long tuft. She has big, sea blue eyes, and she's always smiling, letting those around her hypnotized with her beautiful face. She's exaggeratedly slim, even when she doesn't follow a diet and eats a lot most of the time. She always wears pure-white dresses and her long, black hair is always being held by a pink ribbon. Her height is of a little bit more than five feet and a half, and her weight is of little more than 50 kilograms.

Personality: Despite Brianna looking perfect, she's got quite an amount of defects. First, she's quite stubborn, and thus she will not accept her mistakes, even if they're huge. She's a little bit of a bipolar, and thus she'll be happy one second and furious in the next one. She hates taking advice or help from someone else, and thus, she'll do everything in her own, unless she really needs help, but even then, she would never admit she's in need. Despite all these things, she still cares deeply for other people and her Pokémon, and she'll do everything for them, even if it requires risking her life. Brielle also has a thing for rare Pokémon, which is always making her search in the weirdest of places for Pokémon.

History: Brianna grew up in Violet City, where her father was a clerk at the PokéMart and her mother a housewife. Brianna received her first Pokémon as a gift from her father, who used to be a great Pokémon trainer in the olden times. Shortly after this, Brielle decided to challenge the local gym leader, only to immediately lose. She realized that she had to train if she wanted be strong. After a while, she was finally ready to take on the leader, and after a long battle, she finally earned her first badge, but this was the beginning. After struggling to get the other badges, she went to Indigo Plateau in the Kanto region, where she would take on the Elite Four, Champion, and whoever else stood in her way of being champion. The road to the League HQ was longer and harder than she expected, though, and by the time she had arrived, there were rumors of a strange being that consumed everything standing in its way, naturally, the first thing Brielle thought was 'Did I just miss something?'. After learning from the locals what was going around, she knew she couldn't stay with her arms crossed; after all, it's because of that Pokémon that she can't take on the champion. Well, that supposing the Elite Four didn't wiped the floor with her every single time she tries to challenge them. Even though she wants to defeat that Pokémon by herself, a constant thought runs around her mind…, and it always says 'Will I do such a thing?'

__________________________________________________________________________________

Little Mister Carnivore or "LMC" ♂

Item: Pink Bow

Appearance: This Totodile is slightly bigger than regular Totodile, but this cannot be appreciated unless there's another Totodile around.

Personality: Totodile is quite cheerful, but lazy and extremely slow. It'll do anything to avoid fights, even sleeping in battles. LMC is quite strong, however, and wouldn't hesitate to fight if her trainer is in need (even if she won't admit it). LMC is also shy, and thus, he easily panics when there's someone other than Brielle around, unless it's a Pokémon. Despite being lazy and shy, LMC is quite sociable with other Pokémon, and won't hesitate to make new friends…, unless there's people around of course.

History: Brielles's father has a Feraligatr, which is currently the only Pokémon he still keeps ever since he stopped being a Trainer, it laid an egg which hatched into LMC, and Brielle received the newly hatched Totodile as a gift from her father.

Ability: Damp

Moves:
-Slash
-Hydro Pump
-Crunch
-Rain Dance


Rigby "Rigbone" ♂

Item: None

Appearance: Rigby is a common Zigzagoon except for the fact that its fur is darker than usual, although no one seems to realize it.

Personality: Rigbone is quite curious, and is always wandering around, sniffing the ground, which causes a lot of accidents if he's in a town or city. For this reason, Brielle tries to keep it inside his Pokeball most of the time, but Rigby is always popping out of his Pokeball, especially during battles, which had led Brielled into trouble more than once. Rigbone seems to get distracted with… mainly everything, be it a small leaf that fell of a tree, or just a breeze of wind, it is because of this that Rigby is always at disadvantage during battles, even when it knows powerful moves. Rigby thinks everything is funny, so, whenever he's in a battle, he's laughing all the time. This has led Brielle to several lost battles and facepalms.

History: Zigzagoon was drinking of the lake in Violet City after Brielle had just earned her first badge, and since LMC still had energies, she decided to make an attempt to catch it. It was harder than expected, thought, since this Zigzagoon didn't stay still for more than five seconds, but after a long chasing and throwing capsules, Brielle finally caught this Zigzagoon…, by the way, it still can't stay still for long periods of time.

Ability: Pickup

Moves:
-Last Resort
-Crunch
-Odor Sleuth
-Quick Attack


Pinky Pie ♂

Item: Hard Stone

Appearance: There's something rather unique in this Rhyhorn: IT'S PINK. Researchers are clueless about the reason for this different coloration, but they say it might be because of the weather, but Brielle doesn't mind, according to her, this Rhyhorn is 'adorably weird'.
Personality: Rhyhorn is quite closed when it comes to 'express how it feels', so Brielle is always having a hard time trying to figure out if Pinky Pie is happy or not. Rhyhorn dislikes fighting, but he's always willing to fight if it makes Brielle happy, 'because that way, he's happy too (BTW, Rhyhorn is MALE, but Brielle hasn't realized that). Rhyhorn is quite protective, and thus, whenever he's out of his Pokéball, he won't let Brielle do anything he considers 'dangerous', which is… everything.

History: When Brielle was in the National Park, she saw this pink Pokémon running around scared in the middle of the park. Unbeknownst to Brielle, this Rhyhorn had just fled from his home in Mt. Mortar, where all the other Pokémon bullied him for being 'different'. When Brielle saw it, she quickly took all the Potions she was carrying at the time, and she slowly approached the Rhyhorn so that he didn't run away. After healing it, a Pokéball fell from her bag, and hit Rhyhorn's forehead, sealing it with a beam of light, the ball shacked quickly in the ground, and soon after that, Brielle had caught another Pokémon.

Ability: Lightningrod

Moves:
-Sandstorm
-Horn Attack
-Rock Blast
-Stone Edge

Gender: Male
Region: Sinnoh
Appearance:

"If all people look at is my face instead of my eyes why should I have to bare my soul to them?"

Nikolai has a look that makes you think bleached. Or colorless. His hair is snow-white, soft and reaching his neck in waves. His height is average and he is a thin looking sort. Truthfully, he looks younger than he is, though it can be forgiven due to his carefree lifestyle. He used to wear glasses and the indents are still on his nose. Now he wears contacts, but the Coke-bottle bastards are somewhere, just in case. Wait, what color are his eyes? Well, normally they look blue but most people see them as lilac. It's a trick of the light. He won't let you see his eyes much anyway. Even after his antisocial phase, he's still uncomfortable at looking people in the eye. You will always see his smile however; he's long since turned to rely on his smile to provide a perfectly good method of dealing with people.

His albinism has earned him a lot of bullying over the years, Chalkhead being the nicest thing. In return he's gotten himself versed in the world of street fighting and is much stronger than the wimp of a teenager he had been. Luckier for him, he has a normal skin tone by the fluke of genetics. Excellent for the beach. Not that it matters, he doesn't go for girls eyeballing him across the sand. Scratch that, he doesn't go for girls period. There is a black tattoo starting at the left side of his collarbone and ending at the right side of is back. It did hurt but he's long been someone who enjoys a little agony. It was much easier than screaming about it. He says it's to match the scars made from shattered glass on the rest of his back. Or he said it was shattered glass anyway.

So, he doesn't have any clue about trends or stereotypes. He wears a pair of swimmer goggles. Just don't ask. Anyway, over his now muscular torso is an ice-blue tee shirt. He hates decals. His pants give the impression of skinny jeans, but they're just blue jeans. His shirt is normally covered by a black hooded sweater. He's not being emo, he just liked the shirt. He hates shoes by the way. He didn't wear them much before and doesn't now. If he has to he will wear flat black ones but that's all. That's not his ordinary outfit however. He normally wears an olive-green tee shirt and beige slacks, his shoes the color of sand, though it takes a lot of work to get him to wear them. The latter is his outfit for work, so expect him mainly in that.

Personality:

"You can use as many sophisticated words as you want. You still smack into a wall like the rest of us."

Nikolai is smart. He's genius smart. He's unconsciously nerdy smart. And as much as he would love to forget it, the world needles him every chance he gets. So he doesn't act intelligent. Nikolai slurs his words, mumbles, and never makes eye contact if he can get away with it. To hide this, he smiles a lot, looks innocent, and secretly plans to leave the group as quickly as possible. He's never been around people long enough to get to know them and is quite wary of that possibility. So expect him like a loner... with even less people skills.

The locking eyes issue is a habit he developed when he was little. Nikolai isn't exactly a master of opening his shell. That doesn't make him cowardly. No Nikolai is confident in his abilities. He's simply socially awkward and slightly lacking in common sense. Despite his confidence Nikolai hates showing his ability like a performer. He thinks those kind of people are all phonies and self-centered. It stems from his treatment as a child. So part of it is simply jealousy. When surrounded by those kinds of people Nikolai can be quite cutting. Every other time he sounds as sweet as a lamb and mostly can pretend to be so. So yes he is rather two-faced. Forgive him, he just is very tired of having to hold himself back. Yes there's still a little teenage bitterness going on here.

Nikolai respects women. He believes them brilliant and wonderful. However, he can't stand a good lot of them. He dislikes the idea of having to jump through hoops to reach the purpose of a mission or an event as many of them, mother included, tended to make him do. Word games are only so much of his specialty and the fact that many of the women he was around in his life were masters that lorded it over his head never sat well with him. Because of this, he decided to be a straightforward, semi-kind child... unless it suited him otherwise. He is the metaphorical man of many faces.

The funny thing about him is: if you bring up love, he gets rather playful. Even if you're being serious, he will tease and taunt you men, outwardly appearing coy but inwardly rather frightened of the new experience. He hopes you'll stay but doesn't want to believe you will. His distant, temporary life for so many years has made him believe consistent commitment cannot be found in individuals. If you can convince him otherwise, well, you'll see the shy person buried underneath all that bitterness and acting.

When Nikolai is interested in something, and I mean interested to where he physically shoves someone out of the way, you see a whole new side. His twenty sentences a day limit of human speech shrinks to maybe five, perhaps higher to explain something. Not a single smart or sweet remark, just pure fact. It's the only time you hear him use hundred-dollar words and mean it. His specialty, one of the reasons he was hired, is legends, myths, and old history. He grew up swaddled in old tablets. If there's anybody who could boast about being a living map and timeline of the Pokemon world, it was likely him.

As someone with many moods and faces, Nikolai is surprisingly carefree. He can up and leave without too many or any strands of regret. So goes it with Pokemon battles. If he loses, he loses. If he wins, he wins. He'll throw what he believes is worth it to do it and if it's not worth it to him, oh well. The only thing that he will always keep by his side is his Pokemon, his partners in crime, domination, and discovery. They are the only thing in his life with any sort of consistency and for that, he is eternally grateful and seeks to repay them every day. After all, knowledge changes and grows by the day. His Pokemon have only so long.

History:

"The only time I'm going to stay one place is when I'm dead and that's 'cuz somebody will bury me before I can get out."

Nikolai has no idea where he was born. His parents claim it was somewhere in Snowpoint but he thinks it was Celestic. Regardless, he doesn't know, his parents have gone to too many places for them to properly recall, and in his personal opinion, it really doesn't matter. He's just happy he was born properly in a hospital, even if it was to parents who never developed in him the best sense of right and wrong.

His first real memories start vaguely at the age of five, when he met his Absol as a young, mature cub. Before then, he had been engulfed in a world of legends as fairy tales, old scriptures and readings instead of the trainer's school. He barely spoke the native language of the Pokemon world properly, having been reading the Unown when he was taught. It wasn't as though he would have seen it very often as it was; his parents barely stayed in a town, never mind a region, for more than a few months. It ruined his potential friendships, not that he had the energy to make any. Alma took up most of his time.

In a bid for a few moments of settling, the Darius family decided to place some roots in Lavaridge for a time. Their son could go to school and they could research the mysterious ruins and Mirage Tower in the desert. To the parents, and to Flannery, who didn't mind such a quiet child in her small group of little ones at the gym, it seemed perfectly fine. However, none of the adults were aware of Nikolai's severe shyness, though he wasn't either. Also, the issue of Absol was also prevalent in Lavaridge, a town of elderly who knew superstition like the back of their hands. Absol was rumored to bring disaster and unwittingly, Alma and Nikolai did look rather alike. Simply put, the teasing was merciless, especially when Nikolai began to learn. Eventually, Nikolai simply stopped going to the classes, afraid to speak and angry at the children. He couldn't blame Flannery; there was only so much she could say to the children whose families were likely more suspicious than they were.

Realizing there was nothing else for it, the Darius family eventually discovered this and left, leaving some of their research behind. From that moment, Nikolai started to count the length of time it took for his parents to find what they were looking for. He found it never took long and even when they took him along, his curiosity was left thirsting for more. At the age of twelve, after glimpsing everywhere and more in the region that was thought to matter and having three Pokemon instead of one, he asked to be trained. He wanted to try this on his own. To his surprise, his father consented and even now, Nikolai remembers counting a year to the day of staying in the area of Iron Island and Canalave, where he worked to get a ticket out of Sinnoh and raise his Pokemon. It was at the end of that that he earned his Riolu, now Lucario.

Now, most of what happened after this was a blur of events, sparked from the blur by occasional magazine articles and discoveries that disturbed him to some degree. Nikolai did his best to keep most of his discoveries under the radar, even though the media by this point had coined the name Rune. He did let himself be known for his ability with Pokemon and the occasional Contest with Kepi. Kepi actually earned the Master Rank in Beauty, something that surprised him a little. Nikolai never actually consciously commanded anything in Contest. That had been Kepi's field and he indulged her in it. That was likely where he was seen before he abruptly dropped out of everyone's limelight at the age of sixteen, having been caught in a brutal accident during the Sinnoh League, forcing him to drop out.

The year that passed afterward is a haze to even his own memories. Wherever he was, Nikolai is relatively sure it wasn't anything legal, judging by the tattoo, and even more certain that he deserved whatever smacking his Pokemon gave him to pull him out of it. That earned his desire to at least try and win them a league, though it took him half the next year or more to start kicking the bad habits he was in. Despite that, not long after his nineteenth birthday, he blazed through the Sinnoh League, knocked out in the finals in a long, violent battle which ended in a tie. However, he believed he hadn't earned the title and gave the victory to a boy who earned his respect throughout the league named Alexander Raymond, even though the boy failed to be Champion in the end. They still talk, even though Nikolai is about as aware of trends as a dead fish and Alexander has never been much of a history fanatic. Alexander is determined to keep Nikolai from losing the right and wrong morals he was just starting to gain back. It's a long and hard road and Nikolai wonders if this will be all worth it at the end of it all. Though that is why he is here at this moment, because Alexander is forcing him and he wants to see if he can pull himself out of the strange abyss he had been falling into.

________________________________________________________________________________

"It isn't because they're my partners that they mean a lot to me. It's because they mean a lot to me that they're my partners."

Alma ♀

Item: Shell Bell

Appearance: Aside from the limp on her back right leg, her eyes are not red but blue like his own. Also her fur is more silver than white.

Personality: She is every good trait that Nikolai struggles to find within himself. Sweet, even-tempered, and earnest, she is the conscience that Rune lost and the steady pillar he clings to when he's utterly baffled by the world around him. She remembers the shy little boy and hopes she will eventually see him again from her trainer's easily haunted mind. It's for that moment that she keeps an eye out for disaster and importance, hoping to keep him from harm.

History: Alma has been with Nikolai since he was a baby, caught by his father to give the boy a sense of stability in their constantly moving lifestyle. Originally she lived on Mt. Coronet but was caught when curiously walking down to the Snowpoint City area.

Ability: Pressure

Moves: Future Sight, Dark Pulse, Razor Wind, Aerial Ace, Iron Tail



Tora ♂

Item: Focus Band

Appearance: His tail is more like a blade than a tail and is incredibly dangerous to those who come across it.

Personality: He's slightly insane and often bit Nikolai as a Pichu. He's a pragmatic, instinctual Pokemon who doesn't shy away from beating some poor Pokemon down with his tail to get the win. Nikolai doesn't really command him in battle, and to be honest, isn't sure how he grew to like him in the first place to evolve to Pikachu. Tora won't admit it, but it was because of the food. He's a bit of a big eater. The only reason he is even remotely a team player is because all of them are strong. Strength means a lot to the mouse and if you don't have it, you're less than dirt.

History: Tora is a Raichu who was hatched from a wild egg from Viridian. Bred eggs tend to be more docile than wild ones. Nikolai picked him up early in his journey and just took care of him as best as he could. It's a miracle how well that ended up.

Ability: Lightning Rod

Moves: Thunderbolt, Brick Break, Iron Tail, Grass Knot, Quick Attack



Kane ♂

Item: Expert Belt

Appearance: Nope, he's an ordinary Lucario except for the X-shaped scar on his forehead. Don't tell him that though, he'll flip.

Personality: Kane's Mr. BALL OF ENERGY! He may not talk fast but boy is he everywhere! Running and jumping and training before dawn; that sums up the Lucario over here. Kane IS the wild child starting every fight he can get away with along with a few he can't. It's hard for Nikolai to keep track of him. Despite his energy, his obedience to Nico's commands is almost second to none. Except you know, when there's dishonor goin' on. He will be right up in the face and punching in the stomach.

History: He had earned the Pokemon working for a breeder in Sinnoh before the league and evolved during Nikolai's second try at the league. The two of them worked well together beforehand training on Iron Island, even though Kane originally couldn't stand Rune and his strange mannerisms.

Ability: Justified

Moves: Bullet Punch, Aura Sphere, Dark Pulse, Rock Slide, Dual Chop



Pele ♀

Item: Quick Claw

Appearance: Nope, just an ordinary,if slightly derpy, Flygon. Well there are some scars from the Trapinch time.

Personality: She's very slow and oblivious, kindly gentle in her own way if you think about it. Concepts are slow to her which is why she likes Nikolai's concise orders so much. You make sense no issue, you don't, she sleeps on you. Pele is the last mon you expect to lose her temper. People aren't even sure she has one. She has little concept of personal space so expect her to cuddle anyone despite being a bit too large for it.

History: Pele was caught as a Trapinch near Fallarbor Town and evolved to Vibrava to get Rune out of a snowstorm. It was a pretty horrific fight since Nikolai's former Gyarados ran around rampaging everywhere. Thankfully, Pele was forgiving of her new trainer, considering he dragged her out of harm's way more than once. That was likely the main reason he traded that Pokemon away.

Ability: Levitate

Moves: Giga Drain, Dragonbreath, Flamethrower, Earth Power, Aerial Ace



Kepi ♀

Item: Leftovers

Appearance: Are you kidding? She's good-looking enough.

Personality: Kepi is a very peaceful Pokemon, who prefers to passively or gently use her violent moveset to defeat an opponent rather than sadistically tear through them. Every move she makes is to pacify or harm the opponent as little as possible. If she has to however, her style can be a quick, elegant end to a battle. She is docile and kindly and will even calm down verbal arguments that have nothing to do with her.

History: Kepi was obtained by pure accident, or luck depending. A lowly Magikarp came swimming by while Nikolai was exploring the wonder that is Mt. Coronet. Bored, he caught it and raised it into a ferocious Gyarados. Unfortunately, said creature was too ferocious and no matter how many times Tora knocked the guy unconscious (enjoying every smack down), he never seemed to calm himself. So Nikolai, with some reluctance, traded his wild card away to a boy with a Milotic. It seemed the guy was trying to get out of Contests, huh. Anyway, Kepi didn't seem to mind her new trainer, who treated her respectfully and only made her fight every once in a while.

Ability: Marvel Scale

Moves: Dragonbreath, Return, Scald, Ice Beam, Mirror Coat

Fia ♀

Item: Scope Lens

Appearance: She has a scar over one eye socket, permanently sealing the socket shut.

Personality: Fia is a very special critter with a love of treasure. Her sensitive eyes and ears are Nikolai's way of finding new places to explore and is the reason he's been free of many traps in ruins. Wonderfully curious and a little overly reliant on anything other than sight, she is usually seen with Rune, making him laugh and being the optimistic critter. She loves fun and adventure and can't wait to see where this one goes.

History: She is Nikolai's second Pokemon and his been around half as long as Alma. The two of them get along best, what with Fia being the ever-curious child and Alma the patient mother. Fia was one of the cubs born from Rune's family Pokemon, which was rather amusing. She evolved the night Nikolai went on his journey in Sinnoh. He took it as a sign. Fia ended up losing her eye in a very brutal fight against a Mightyena. It took her a long time for her to get back on her feet and fight again but now she's better than ever!... in her opinion.

Ability: Leaf Guard

Moves: Synthesis, Leaf Blade, Shadow Ball, Aerial Ace, Grasswhistle

Gender:Female
Age: 15
Region:Unova
Appearance:I can say just about for sure that Stephanie is the strangest girl you've ever seen! If you didn't know any better you'd say she was from another planet! Stephanie favorite thing to wear is a sky blue spaghetti strap top that seems to glow in the sunlight, and a matching skirt that goes down to her knees. Although the skirt looks as if it were large blue crystals strung together, and if you were to touch it you would cut your hand. (of course that wouldn't happen because it's only fabric) When these aren't available to her Stephanie wears anything that's blue. Dresses, jeans, t-shirts sweatpants, or vests, she doesn't care as long as its blue. She simply refuses to wear anything that's not blue, as if her life depended on it. Stephanie prefers not to wear shoes, but when she does she wears sea blue sandals that you can almost see through!
Stephanie likes to wear matching earring that are bright sky blue just like the rest of her clothes, and on top of all of that she wears a blue crystal strung around her neck. She never takes the crystal off, and never lets it leaver her sight. She often holds on to the crystal when she's worried or scared, as if it will protect her.
Stephanie reaches a intimidating 5' 11" her skin is a light pale color, and she is very skinny some people say shes just skin and bones! Stephanie's face is slightly round and completely smooth no freckles, acne or anything. Stephanie has straight brown hair that goes down to her shoulders. Her hair is freely moving and can easily be blown into her face. Her eyes are a deep sea blue that sparkles in the sunlight, She has a small noes that almost curves back into her head and cherry red lips. (which is usually the first thing you'll notice about her since in contrasts everything else she wears) Stephanie's ears are usually covered by her hair but when you do get a glimpse of them you would see she has large holes in her ear lobes that she hangs her pearl earrings from.

Personality: Stephanie's personality is very wishy-washy and confusing but I'll do my best to explain. Not only does Stephanie dress weird but she acts really weird too. Stephanie often stares of into space when she's listening to someone or even speaking one on one with someone else, she will even just compleatly stop what she's doing and blank out at randome times. She also will often be amused by modern technology that we take for granite. Stephanie also see's things in ways that other people can't. (for example; she can usually see an opportunity or even something good out a problem)
Stephanie is the most late back person you'll ever meet, She is almost impossible to anger, and when you do upset or scare her she refuses to show it, her expression always stays the same.
Although the craziest part of her personality has to be the ability to act like someone else. At random she can act exactly like anyone she wants to!
Stephanie is really good at making friends with people who chose to do the right thing, but she despises and diss trust all criminal minds, and anyone else that opposes her. Stephanie is extremely loyal to her friends, and will put anything aside to help them.
When Stephanie sets out to do something, she doesn't let anyone or anything get in her way, she will act, lie, cheat, and steal to assure her mission is completed.

History: This is a very confusing aspect of Stephanie that would probably be left unexplained... but it looks like I don't have he option of not telling you, so I'll just give you the recent history. (Becouse if I tell you more I'd be giving too much away) Stephanie as strange as it may be, randomly appeared in the Unova region several years ago. Everyone was curious about this new girl and her strange appearance, they asked her many questions, although soon after hearing the response they thought she was ether trying to trick everyone or just plain crazy!
"Hello little girl," one man said "What is your name?" he asked
"My name is Stephanie." she answered without turning to face the man.
"Ah,.. Well Stephanie we've never seen you around here before, could you kindly tell us where you live?" another man asked.
"Oh?" Stephanie spaced out for a second before responding "I live in Costal City of the Rendive nation, It's several years from here."
"Don't you mean 'Several miles'?" a woman in the back of the crowd asked.
"No, I mean several years! I'm from the future!" The people in the crowd start muttering to themselves about this new crazy girl.
"Alright that's enough of this nonsense!" a man in a blue uniform said as he pushed his way through the crowd towards the girl. "In the name of the law tell us where your from!" the officer yelled angrily.
"Haven't I already told you?" she said calmly.
"Fine!" the officer yelled. "Were going to see who you really are!" The officer grabbed the girl and took her to the police station.
After hours of blood test background tests and other methods like it the police still couldn't find where this girl came from, or who she belonged to. Confused and tired the police released the girl not knowing what else to do with her. Stephanie wandered the Unova alone, because everyone she told her story to thought she was crazy.
Eventually she started to wise up and instead of telling people se was from the future she would just casualy say "I'm from the next town over" She found that this made it easier to make friends and to keep out of trouble. Some trainers she had made friends with showed her their Pokemon. Stephanie was extremely impress and amazed by Pokemon. Not only would they make great life companions but they could also defend from attackers of any kind! Stephanie, determined to train the strongest Pokemon, set off on a journey were she spent every second of several years training and caring for the Pokemon she caught. (I'll explain how she got each Pokemon in the Pokemon history) Eventually her Pokemon has reached what seemed to be there strongest points and she decided to test her Pokemon at the eight gyms of Unova. Each gym bitterly failed to beat Stephanie's uber team. Finally she found her way to the elite four, and challenged them beating each one with almost no effort at all. Finally she faced the campion of the Unova region. The battle was short, Stephanie had lost in only the first few minutes of the battle. The strength of her opponent was greater than she had ever expected, and Stephanie's false assumption costed her the battle. Once again she challenged the elite four, once again easily beating them! Although this time reaching the champion she knew what to expect. This battle lasted several hours and came down to the last two Pokemon on each side. The battle was long and well fought by both sides but Stephanie still lost. She challenged the champion many times but not once did Stephanie win. After awhile Stephanie gave up on becoming the worlds strongest trainer and decided to use her Pokemon to help others!
