Okay...my official post.
Role: New Adventurer
Character Name: Sam Aaron
Age: 14 (have fun. lol)
Appearence: Sam is fairly tall, standing at 6' even. He has very dark, almost black hair, and chesnut brown eyes. On very sunny days, though, Sam's eyes are sky blue. He is very well built and not bad looking either. He wears a red jacket covering a black t-shirt. Blue jeans and running shoes complete this outfit. On his back, his handy yellow backpack compete with PokeGear always sits. Sam also wears a shining silver necklace most everyday. When asked what's in it, Sam never replies.
Personality: Sam is very quiet when you first meet him, but when you get to know him, he is actually very outgoing. Sam likes pokemon and other people, but is a touch shy towards the latter. Pokemon, however, are no problem. Sam gets along with them very well due to his...ability. Sam's quietness comes from his background. His family is dead thanks to an incident from when he was very young. This forces a very quiet and reserved mood, except towards people he knows. He is very coordinated and has amazing reflexes (also part of his ability). Because of this, Sam doesn't like to be around people, for fear they'll find out what he really is.
History: (explains EVERYTHING)
Sam's family tree is very...unorthodox. A perfect line of perfect reflexes in which people have children who are killed because of lack of ability. Everything was fairly peaceful for a while. One family inherited perfect reflexes, the other a weird intuition. Sam, however, was born different. He had both abilities, due to an interfamily birth. As a result, Sam and his brother had both abilities. He and his brother were 2 of a kind. That was, until they came of age. At that time, the two twins had to decide their family. Between their mother or their father...
Sam couldn't deal with it. He didn't choose. His brother decided that he would go with his father. His mother's family enraged, there was a battle. The sides fought and fought. The only survivor, in the end, was Sam. Fearing the villagers would attack him to end this, for they hated the families, too, Sam ran. Eventually, he got to the Ophoore Region. It was here he hid for many years...until the day when he decided he was ready to change his future. He decided to become a trainer, so that he could communicate with his pokemon and become the greatest ever. And so, he decided to become a trainer.

Click. Sam's heart skipped a few beats. He had just caught his first pokemon. Instantly, Sam grabbed the pokeball and released his Poochyena. "Pooch!" Poochyena cried happily. He was Sam's newest partner. Sam was in the middle of celebrating his capture when all of the sudden, "Hey! Kid! I saw that catch...a little weak, but I'll give ya a shot. Let's see how you can do!" a boy said, walking out from behind a bush. "What're you talking about? I'm a new trainer. Who're you? I'm Sam." Sam said, rather curious. "I'm Drew. Nice to meet ya. Now about that battle. Since I know you have 2, we'll fight 2 on 2. That work for ya?" Drew asked. "Eh. Sure. I'm tottaly in. I need a chance to train!" Sam said. "Alright! Let's do it!" Drew said.
"Go! Poochyena and Turtwig" Sam said, having his two pokemon walk into the battle zone. "Okay. Go! Tyrogue! Surskit!" Drew said, throwing out his 2 pokemon. Sam could tell they were strong, but he was determined to win. "Okay! Poochyena! Charge! Use Tackle! Turtwig, run in front and use your withdraw to provide cover!" Sam commanded. Turtwig ran a bit faster and shielded his teammate. "Tyrogue! Use Tackle, too! Surskit! Bubble!" Drew said. Sam wasn't expecting the long range attack along with tackle, but Turtwig stood up very well. Poochyena dealt good damage to Tyrogue and had time to attack again. "Okay! Now hit Surskit! Turtwig! You go for Tyrogue! Tackle! Both of you!" Sam said, certain of his pokemons' abilities. Surskit took a powerful hit, but Tyrogue was a fair bit luckier. He hit Turtwig with a quick fakeout, and Surskit immidietly responded to the attack with bubble. The pokemon didn't even take a command. This wasn't good. They could fight independently. What could he do...then it hit him. The tree, the positions and his pokemons' speed. It all worked.
"Okay! Turtwig! Use Withdraw! Poochyena! Jump off Turtwig onto that branch!" Sam said, planning something. "What could he be doing? Tackle! Bubble! Beat the Turtwig down!" Drew said angerly. "Okay! Poochyena! Jump and use tackle! FULL SPEED! Turtwig! Provide backup and hit them with tack immediatly after. (The reason they can hit both both times is because the pokemon moved closer to hit Turtwig harder). Poochyena hit really hard and made them flinch almost, while Turtwig hit them just as hard on the ground. They flew into the tree and were instantly KO'd. "No! Tyrogue! Surskit!" Drew said. "Yes! We did it!" Sam said, now that he had finally won his first real battle. It felt so good. Now he should thank his opponent.
"Drew! Thanks for the battle! I hope we can meet again!" Sam said. "Oh, don't worry about that. Thanks to that little defeat, you are now my rival! I will NOT forget this. But good match, seriously. I hadn't lost until now. Your style showed me there's always more than one way to use a move. Here! Take these for winning," Drew said, handing Sam some berries. "Thanks! Well, see ya!" Sam said. "Yeah. See you next time," Drew said, walking up the path. It was getting dark now, so Sam decided to set up camp. Grabbing some leaves to make a bed for his pokemon, he laid them out. Next, a fire. Lighting a match, he tossed it into a pit he had made. Laying out his sleeping bag, he pulled out some ingrediants. Rice and a bit of curry. Within minutes, he had some warm curry rice. Chowing down while his pokemon at some slightly warmed pokefood, he thought over that day. His first capture, his first victory, he knew he had made the right choice in becoming a trainer. And he didn't have to decide about being a trainer or coordinator yet. That could wait. Slipping into his sleeping bag, Sam instantly fell asleep. In his dreams, he relived the days events...
Badges or Ribbons: I'll do both. If I can't...PM me. I'll decide then...
and that should be it!
