Elemental Chosens

The Legend

There was once a legend that existed. In fact, it's still quite popular to this day.

Perhaps you might have heard it. Maybe your grandparents or parents told you it. Maybe a teacher might have said it. Maybe even an innocent passerby that was chatting with their companion.

Maybe you haven't.

"Which legend", you ask? Well, it is the legend you might be connected to. So I suppose it is your right to know.

The legend begins before Pokeballs were invented. Before they even existed, back, back in the distant past. Back when there were not many humans and Pokemon were common while people were not. Now, no one is positive what the "God" or "Goddess" Pokemon is. Some believe it could be Arceus, some think it could be Deoyxs. There are thousands of theories.

Anyway, this Pokemon, an unknown Pokemon at that, was believed to have separated into multiple "shards". Each of these "shards" fell from the Pokemon when they "passed on" into the next life. These "shards" held energy as they floated into the wind and disappeared.

It's been said for generations, and generations that the "shards" had evolved into each of the many different Pokemon elements. However, some the shards to have actually been said to been "attracted" to humans. When attracted to humans, these "shards" are said to give humans "abilities". Such as telepathic communication with their Pokemon, and most are determined to be destined with that element.

Rumor has it that you are one. But, then again. They are just rumors. Only destiny will decide.

The Letter

Dear Reader,

I am very glad you are reading this. That means that the letter has arrived safe to your capable hands. My friend, I must warn you that you are in great danger and that this is not a prank. I cannot tell you the details, but I will be able to tell you and the others in person. You must avert them and head for the port immediately. Be careful, use your wits, and don't trust anyone.

I've enclosed Poke for you to buy a ticket. Tell them the code-word, "Mystic Shards" and make sure you are NOT followed!

Good luck,

Anonymous


Storyline
You and thirty five possible others are to gather to avoid the clutches of the mysterious "Team Elemental", an evil organization entirely obsessed with capturing the Elemental Chosens and using them to help recruit rare, and exclusive Pokemon since the Elementals are naturally chosen by their elemental Pokemon, and to find the rare treasure that the God or Goddess Pokemon hid.

On the run with the thirty - five others, you are thrown into a world that is a death match (Yes, Death Match. I hate the Hunger Games, but I have to hand it to them that it's a brilliant idea) ticking down to the end of the clock as each Pokemon trainer can either join sides with others, or fight against others.

Meanwhile, an anonymous organization that is stationed on a hidden island that is controlled by a mysterious woman who wants to assist the Elementals, however some believe she may or may not be part of the war.

Join the war, fight on either side, survive until the end with you and your Pokemon, or find the treasure! Either way, be ready for the grand finale...


FAQ

This is like, ten stories in one, so let me explain.

The Elemental Chosens - Regular humans that "chosen" by fate or destiny to handle one element of Pokemon similar to Gym Leaders.

Team Elemental - The "evil" side of the war, apparently. They want to capture Elementals to help them recruit Pokemon and find treasures.

Milla - A mysterious woman who will assists the Elementals.

The War - A battle that the main heroes or villians are thrown into.

The Treasure - A mysterious treasure left behind by the Goddess or God Pokemon. The memory of the treasure was implanted inside a memory of the shard to where it was hidden.

You can be "Good" or "Evil". Your character can be a complete sadist, or entirely compassionate. You can join sides with others or fight others, it's entirely up to you!

All regions and generations are involved, of course. You may travel to any regions including the island that Milla will invite you to. You can be on Team Elemental or Milla's side or solo.

I encourage plot twists and freedom to players! Feel free to shape the story line as you choose! Romance and cursing are indeed allowed. Nothing...TOO bad, 'kay? Also, there will be TWO Elementals of EACH TYPE. No more. Try to avoid legendaries as MUCH as possible. All Elementals can use telepathy with Pokemon.

Classes (Special thanks to LJCOMICS!)

These trainers are such dedicated battlers that they have studied how to maximize battle experience. They can maximize their pokemon’s attacks and find weaknesses in a foe’s pokemon normally immune or resistant to their pokemon’s attacks. They teach their pokemon as much as they learn from each of their pokemon’s battles. Each battle is filled with passion and each pokemon trained by an Ace Trainer can realize their full battle potential and be the very best.

Chasers are sometimes looked at as a cruel type of Ace Trainer. Having learned the lesson of prey lost, they vow to never let anything escape their sight ever again. It is not the possibility of capturing the foe that compels them, it is their desire to defeat the foe and show the fleeing enemy who is the best. They teach their pokemon to trap foes and pursue them, even when they are in their energy form, returning to a Poke Ball. The Chaser is dangerous, sometimes letting their obsession get out of control – felling all foes that they meet is the only thing that satisfies their desires.

Sometimes, in the heat of battle, an Ace Trainer may be knocked unconscious, leaving their allies unprotected and their pokemon unguided. The Enduring Soul learns from their failure and vows to be there to protect their allies and never go down again. They will always have their friends’ backs and always be there to guide their loyal pokemon. The pokemon owned by an Enduring Soul feel strength from their resolve too and can focus on empowering their defenses to make sure that if an ally is going down, it’s not them.

The Pokemon League is the ultimate destination for trainers who want to show their true power. The League Battler’s ultimate destination is a throne as one of the Frontier Brains, an Elite Four Member, or just a modest living as a Gym Leader. These Ace Trainers have studied extensively to attain that goal and will defeat every challenge to show that they are deserving of the highest level of trainer.

These Ace Trainers hold loyalties only to ability. They find pokemon who are the fastest, or the strongest, or the smartest and then, the Stat Ace further improves those superior abilities. The Stat Ace can bring a slow pokemon up to speed, or make a weak skinned pokemon have an iron-plated body. Their abilities in bringing out a specific skill of a pokemon are unparalleled. No other Ace Trainer can make a Slowbro out run a
Shedinja.

Tag Battlers can multitask and keep track of multiple pokemon to attain victory. They make their pokemon work not only as a team, but as one combined unit that can defeat any amount of foes they come up against. Each of their pokemon blend well with each of their other pokemon and together they can end all foes.

A fan of whatever Type they align themselves with, the Type Ace finds a special calling to the elements. These Ace Trainers find symbolic meaning in a certain type and make each of their pokemon utilize that element in the best way possible. A Type Ace can bring out the best of any type, even in pokemon who are not the same type themselves. The Type Ace can even convert the elements themselves.

For various reasons, some trainers don’t like giant bulky pokemon. Underdogs recognize the power in their unevolved pokemon, and prefer that their Totodile never become a Croconaw, they like carrying it around on their back. However, they are Ace Trainers, so they can still bring out the very best in their little allies, to defeat anything twice, three times, or ten times their size.

Some trainers realize the value of raising a pokemon from a young age in order to build a better bond with their allies and friends. Breeders emphasize the importance of raising a pokemon from birth, not as a friend, but as their own children. Breeders hatch eggs very quickly and can actually coerce their pokemon to produce multiple eggs. The most noticeable talent a breeder shows is the fact that their pokemon are naturally born with more power then the average pokemon. Some even grow more powerful then any other in its species. Their pokemon are born with the courage and strength to pull them through any situation.

The Botanist is a Breeder who finds joy not only in raising Pokemon, but in raising plant life as well. They find way to grow plants that are larger then those grown in the wild, more potent and best of all, more
flavorful.

The Chef is a talented culinary master. This Breeder loves to make food for their friends and their pokemon. They are talented poffin mixers, making high level cakes not even a full team of mixers could make. They are also talented poke block crushers, making vitamins unlike any a normal trainer would make. Food comes easy for a team traveling with a Chef; they can use the world around them to provide for everyone.

Some Breeders intuitively know what kind of motivation a pokemon needs to evolve a pokemon at an unnaturally low level of power. The Evolver can coerce their pokemon to grow up at a young age and allow a pokemon to rapidly reach its final level of evolution, increasing its basic level of power without putting as much time into a particular pokemon that a normal trainer would. It is through evolution that a pokemon can reach full maturity; the most mature pokemon make the best partners.

Some Breeders take interest in pokemon contests. A Groomer can prepare their pokemon for a contest and even defeat an inexperienced Coordinator because of it. In addition to preparing pokemon for a debut on stage, their grooming techniques greatly increase the happiness of their pokemon, or any pokemon they
practice on.

The Hatcher takes a great deal of pride in their pokemon’s eggs. They practice warming eggs in an unrivaled fashion, which can hatch a newly acquired egg in less than a few days. Their care for their eggs greatly influence the potential of their baby pokemon and can prove to make the Breeder’s babies greatly stronger as they grow up.

When battling, a pokemon is commonly injured which requires a visit to a pokemon center shortly afterward. Breeders who start practicing basic medical work can find a warm welcome to any traveling party. Routes that last a few days can see no form of medical attention for a trainer’s pokemon, which can potentially kill a severally poisoned or injured pokemon. A Medic can treat wounded and afflicted pokemon at the cost of some medical supplies and herbs that earth gives them from the surrounding area.

It is not common knowledge how Technical Machines came to be. The Move Tutor is aware of their origin and can use their knowledge to push their pokemon into learning a move, normally only learned through the injection of a TM, during level up. Even further, a pokemon may learn a move, which it is undocumented to have learned when trained by this variety of Breeder. It can be a deadly surprise to encounter a foes’ Charizard who suddenly lets loose a Water Pulse from its mouth.

The capture specialist is a talented mechanic. They intimately know the technology implemented in any type of Poke Ball and can improve their capture rates with a small bit of tweaking. Even after a wild pokemon breaks out of a poke ball after a failed attempt at capture, a Capture Specialist can quickly rebuild a poke ball with very little effort or expense. A Capture Specialist’s natural and one true calling is finding every wild and adding them to his or her collection. The mastery of poke ball knowledge makes it easier for a Capture Specialist to catch them all.

Capture Specialists all know the origin of the Poke Ball. Apricorns are fruit with reflective skins that served as the first modern Poke Balls. An Apricorn Smith utilizes his knowledge to make various Poke Balls at a much cheaper price then a Poke Mart would offer. With the access to all of the self made Poke Balls a Smith does, it’s much easier to catch many pokemon.

The Artificer is an inventive Capture Specialist who creates items for pokemon to hold, or use in battle. They ensure their pokemon an extra boost in power, or a special consumable that can heal pokemon in different situations. From vision improving goggles to bands which increase experience gain, the Artificer can make it all to help catch it all.

The Collector needs to catch them all. This Capture Specialist doesn’t dream of the Pokemon League or any spotlight on stage, they have a list of pokemon that exist and they need to capture every single one. They utilize their desire to capture everything to improve their rate of capture but even after they’ve checked a monster off their list, they can’t stop until they have each and every different species.

An Engineer expands their technological ability to machinery larger then a Poke Ball. They create their own equipment to better help them through the world. They can modify the Pokedex, improve PC abilities and even create vehicles. It is through the Engineer that technological advances are made. The inventors of the Pokemon world need to find ideas somewhere, while traveling the world many new machines can easily come to mind.

A capture Specialist sometimes focuses on the technology aspect of their profession. A Poke Ball Designer is an inventor who comes up with his or her own original Poke Ball designs and properties. While stores may not be too excited to purchase unofficial designs for their own sale, you can get the last laugh as your new Poke Balls capture everything you want.

Snaggers have manipulated the technology readily available for the public - Poke Balls. These Capture Specialists have used their intelligence to create something that is a direct violation of the law; a glove-like machine which enable Snaggers to steal Pokemon from other Trainers. It is best not to cross a Snagger, they might find your pokemon to be useful for their plans.

The Trapper is a Capture Specialist interested less in expanding their own collection - their thrills come from the hunt itself. With their knowledge and techniques, they make even the biggest, most dangerous, and
difficult to capture Pokemon into targets for themselves or others. Whether selling their services out to rich looking for a thrill or working solo, they are specialists in capturing before the ball is even thrown.

Some trainers may battle against other trainers in a competition of appearance rather then strength. As shallow as some may view this practice, only a truly talented Coordinator can make an ugly Feebas win a competition of beauty. Coordinators know the natural advantages of appearance and can some times convince a judge to award them victory before they’ve even entered a competition. This isn’t any different in a battle; just viewing a well-trained pokemon owned by a coordinator may intimidate some pokemon. Coordinators value the importance of monetary gain and use their pokemon to ensure a constant cash flow through contests. They can’t be denied their Ribbons.

A gorgeous, Beauty variety of trainer, these types of Coordinator practice showing off how stunning their pokemon appear.

A laid back, Cool variety of trainer, these types of Coordinator practice showing off how chill and awesome their pokemon can be.

An adorable, Cute variety of trainer, these types of Coordinator practice showing off how super kawaii their adorable little monsters are.

Some Coordinators don’t want all the glory for themselves; the Fashion Designer could care less which pokemon wins, as long as they won wearing their accessories. They make outfits and accessories for their ally’s pokemon, and share the contest stage with them, giving them opportunity to win a Ribbon or two. It’s always nice to help out your fellow trainer.

Some parents have brought up the Investor as someone meant to show great things, on the stage of contests. Their family has long line of great Coordinators who have left their entire trust funds to you – if you win contests. Investors receive a great deal of extra funds whenever they win a contest and can afford a great deal of extra pampering for their contest winners because of it.

A geeky, Smart variety of trainer, these types of Coordinator practice showing off how intelligent their pokemon seem.

A strong, Tough type of trainer, these types of Coordinator practice showing off how macho their pokemon are.

Some trainers physically exceed some pokemon in hand-to-hand combat. Their mastery of the Martial Artist is unparalleled by the untrained, random attempts of assault performed by any other trainer. They can take out other trainers with little effort, and their pokemon benefit from their exploits as well. The Martial Artist has a natural affinity for the Fighting, Steel, Rock and Ground types of pokemon and can better train them to use their attack to their full potential.

A trainer who becomes one with the world surrounding them can use Aura. A Martial Artist who can read the psychological auras of strangers can know the intentions of a person without any conversation. They can emit bursts of energy, and create force fields around their body. An Aura User also has the ability to hear the thoughts of other who want their thoughts to be heard by the Aura User. The Aura User is a rarity in the pokemon world, a blessing in any traveling party.

At the top of every martial art is the Black Belt, the finest fighters of their respective martial art. The Martial Artist who reaches this pinnacle of talent can easily combat any other trainer, and possibly powerful
pokemon.

Martial Artists are trained in rigorous conditions and are commonly disciplined while learning the way of the fist or sword. Dirty Fighters realized quickly that by not following those rules, they could be even more successful - dirty tricks and the use of their wits and environment gives them the upper hand. After all, a fight is a fight. Someone has to lose, and the Dirty Fighter isn’t going to be the loser so long as there’s something they can do to stop it - honesty be damned.

The Juggler takes their dexterity to the streets to make some monetary gain. They perform tricks that involve slight of hand and are excellent street scammers. This may seem like abilities unrelated to pokemon training, but while battling those quick fingers can turn into a quickly delivered potion – from across the field. Even switching pokemon can be done in a few seconds when this Martial Artist is battling. With a keen eye and attention to how any situation, or any thing, is always handled well by the Juggler.

When a Martial Artist studies all of the pressure points on a human being, they can therapeutically relax that friend with massage. With further study, they can master those pressure points on a pokemon. This is useful to increase the happiness of a pokemon or relax them before a contest. Due to most pokemon evolving based on their relationship with their trainer, the Massage Therapist is key to building a bond between pokemon and trainer.

These Martial Artists do not rely on the straightforward, brute-force combat of other paths. Instead, the Ninja refine themselves with training in potent poisons that can bring the strong to their knees, the speed to evade the most dangerous of assaults, the use of dangerous traps, and the art of stealth. Combined, these turn them into deadly, feared warriors.

The Weapons Master is a deadly Martial Artists who uses weapons as an extension of their bodies. They can use various bladed, blunt, or pointed weapons to improve the damage they deal to foes. It would be nearly impossible for another trainer untrained in such arts to take on a Weapons Master without their pokemon’s help.

The Mystic connects with Pokemon and nature at a primal level that most don’t understand. They are able to enter a trance to channel Pokemon and see through their eyes, forging such a fundamental connection that they are able to manifest some of their Pokemon’s abilities. These natural talents tend to guide Mystics towards religious and spiritual occupations or those that deal with the lore of ancient and Legendary Pokemon.

After discovering their power to connect with nature, some Mystics learn how to practice their magic powers on other humans. While connecting to another person’s body they can imitate it and act out in several manners which they may never consider while in their real bodies, or lend their courage to their ally who could never do something they were afraid to do. The impact for a Body Snatcher’s life may not be noticeable, but it could ruin or save the Bodysnatched.

Some Mystics can copy pokemon who improve their skills during combat and feel the same thrill as a surge of new energy fills their body. The Buffet can pump up their abilities as a human and merge with a pokemon to give them that same surge or imitate other pokemon while already possessing pokemon. With all this extra power, the Buffet can really show their foes how to get the most power out of any pokemon.

The gift of Mysticism is one that demands responsibility. Some who practice their trade gain the favor and attention of legendary patrons, who share their divine powers with those they deem worthy. Others use their powers for more selfish motives, and attain divine power by forcibly taking control of a legendary being. Those who walk this delicate path are known as Godspeakers. Be them priests and priestesses of their benevolent patrons, or power thirsty practitioners of out for personal gain, Godspeakers are awe-inspiring individuals who can evoke powers of the divine and all powerful. This power can make one into either a god or a devil, so Godspeakers must be cautious of the use of their power, and if they are not, they risk terrible, terrible consequences on a scale greater then they can imagine.

Guardians have devoted their Mystic ability to protecting their friends and those who cannot protect themselves. The Guardian can throw up walls to save others and even negate harm entirely when the right pokemon are nearby. The strongest Guardians can even act as a wall that punishes offenders with the attackers own power. Anybody who has this variety of Mystic as a friend can rely on their shields to save you from harm.

Once a Mystic has communed with an Unown, they have glimpsed into the power of the reality altering pokemon’s hive mind and have drawn the attention of all Unown who wander the world. The Rune Master takes hold of the Unown and works with them to improve their power while the Unown begin to influence the Mystic who calls themselves their master.

The Shaman is beyond logic. By mending themselves with the flow of the natural world, Shamans have found a way to literally become one with Pokemon. They can place their souls into a Pokemon’s body and use them to their own ends. They also have learned to borrow from the forces of nature, but with a physically alarming
consequence.

A Mystic has coveted magical powers. The Touched Mystic is blessed with even more power. By playing music passed onto them when they find the favour of a legendary pokemon, they can summon great power from their instrument. The Touched are protectors, but are not to be taken lightly.

Not every human in the Pokemon World is born with equal natural abilities. Psychics are born with supernatural powers. Psychics have a natural affinity for the Dark, Ghost and Psychic type pokemon. They can telekinetically move objects and telepathically enter the minds of others. They can emphatically figure out exactly what their pokemon need, telepathically negotiate with people or enter the minds of pokemon to communicate with the wild itself.

Aerokinesis and electrokinesis are at the disposal of the Air Adepts. Psychics who master these forms of telekinesis can generate gusts of wind and bolts of electricity. Foes to this offensive type of Psychic can find themselves surrounded by field of electricity, paralyzing them, or stuck in the air, unable to get down. Some don’t realize the power of the air that surrounds them, but the absence of air is even worse. Ever tried living in a vacuum?

Telepaths who can enter the philosophical mind of the inanimate are weird in ways unlike any other Psychic. The Clairsentient can look at an item and know its history in the past hour, day or even week. They can stand on a spot of land and realize what stepped over it recently, then follow the ghost of what was there. With their excellent detective powers, they can be a handy utility on any team.

An Earth Shaker is both terrakenetic and botanokinetic. These Psychics can influence the growth of plants and movement of the earth below them. They can lift rocks and sand or uproot a plant to use for whatever they see fit. Holding down a foe can be helpful and easily done with moving vines or a ton of dirt. Makeshift shelters are a simple matter for the most powerful of Earth Shakers, but even a weak one can surprise the foe with a tremor or two.

The Empath is a highly sought after traveling partner in the Pokemon world for healing, understanding, or guidance. Empaths can actually read the minds of pokemon, and through this medium communicate with their allies and friends. Empaths can feel what others feel and relieve pain in pokemon and humans, by physically healing with their psychic abilities, or sharing the burden with them. The bridge between pokemon and humans is very short but without an Empath, the bridge crossing language could be light-years between ends.

Psychics can hone their telekinesis to ignite oxygen in the air and turn it into fire. A Fire Breather is both pyrokinetic and photokinetic. Pyrokinesis is the ability to create and control fire mentally while photokinesis is the ability to create and control light. Using fire to burn your foes while creating illusions with photokinesis is more then a circus trick, it can be used to kill an unworthy foe.

This Psychic is a medium who can spiritually summon the aspect of affliction to cast status effects on a wild pokemon. The Hex Maniac can also target other humans, inflicting curses, confusion or sleep on another
human being. They are considered recluses by most because of their mental state that is influenced by the spirits they summon but it is their eccentric abilities that can help their party capture any target.

The most powerful of telepaths can actual put their thoughts and desires into the minds of other living things. The Influential is a Psychic who can do just that. In basic terms it’s mind control, but the difference between influence and mind control is that the target doesn’t realize he is being influenced. The victim actually believes the Psychic’s desires are his or her own. They will act and the Influential will benefit.

The Rain Waker is a Psychic who can grab water molecules in the air and focus them into a liquid mass. Users of hydrokinesis and cryokinesis, Rain Wakers can push their foes with their bursts of water and stop them in their place, once they are soaked, with ice. The water is very reliable for hydration and also serves to keep wounds calmed until healed. Some think little of water, but when surrounded by a globe of water, it’s hard to laugh without drowning.

Unlike your average denizen in the world, who tends to the capture and battling of pokemon, Rangers are an elite, trained force of authority who take on the responsibility of maintaining balance and peace. A ranger’s duty is to protect and befriend both human and pokemon alike.

Motivational Rangers can bring out the talents of a Pokemon to absurd levels. Coaches are just the type of Ranger who can do so. By working out with their Pokemon, they can improve their partners’ legwork,
swimming abilities, and physical strength; nearly anything they can physically do is done better when a Coach is helping them.

The Ranger who trades in their backwoods training for the city scene is a fine Detective. They speak in random conspiracies and rarely make sense to those listening in on the conversations they have while talking to themselves, however that out of the box thinking is what leads them to a question’s answer. They know where the shakers shake and they can find the movers moving.

While some individuals may be content with awkwardly being ferried to and fro by their pokemon, Riders intuitively conquer each mount on first sight. These Rangers fear no storm, no great height, nor do they cease riding their pokemon as it battles a foe. Known for their legendary ability to steady any wild for an ally to ride, they are capable allies and welcome in any traveling party.

Signers have gained the trust of Legendary Pokemon, and with that trust they summon astral forms of
Legendary Pokemon to help them through any difficulties. Signers are loyal Rangers who seek to right any wrong above all else, especially when it comes to anything that could shatter the natural balance of the world. With a Signer on your team, you know that you’ll always be covered, and by the power of legends at that.

Not many people can say they’ve had the equipment to, or had the guts to stand in the way of a hyper beam on purpose. These elite Rangers, members of Special Operations, prefer to have the situation under control before an incident occurs. As the topmost branch of the Rangers, before Captains, They command a different sort of respect, equal to law enforcement but arguably more efficient.

Survivalists are at their strongest when placed in situations that demand ingenuity and improvisation. They thrive in the wild where their skills allow them to survive off the land and provide themselves with tools made of the most basic materials. A survivalist can provide shelter, food, and protection for himself and his friends in all but the harshest of conditions. They may not know exactly where the next town is, but they will be sure to survive until they can find it.

While most trainers aim to be the best, Researchers aim to know the most. While they lack the physical advantage other trainers might, they have studied for many years prior to the beginning of their journey and have retained a vast amount of knowledge relating to most pokemon all over the world. They know many things relating to a pokemon’s natural moveset, their habitat, and even the location of several pokemon – just by name. A powerful trainer can help a pokemon find the power that’s inside; a Researcher knows the power that’s inside before he or she even captures a pokemon.

A Cryptozoologist is a mythology expert who specializes in the tracking, pursuit and capture of legendary pokemon. They know of the mythical pokemon intimately, able to tell the various tales, word for word, of each legend’s origin off the top of their heads. Some may think of this type of Researcher as a nut but at the end of the day, if they have these godly powers as their allies, they’ll get the last laugh.

Pokemon dreams are complex in that pokemon themselves are creatures that commonly surpass science. A Dream Doctor is a Researcher who uses the powerful Dream Machine to extract dreams from their pokemon and physically manifest the pokemon’s ideals into the material realm. The technology itself is beyond simple explanation so only a trained Dream Doctor can use the Dream Machine to let a Pokemon’s imagination impact the real world.

Researchers who master petrology are rare item hunters. They can find areas where wild pokemon will yield more items drops. The Petrologist is also an expert excavator. They can dig up evolutionary stones, fossils, or various rare items found underground. In addition to their vast knowledge in the finding and use of these rare items, they are also very adept explorers underground, in caves and in ancient ruins. This variety of
Researcher is very useful for the navigation of land.

This Researcher can take pictures of wild pokemon in their natural habitat, to capture the nature and habits of a pokemon in their frame. Even if people are surrounded in day-to-day life by Pokemon, the Photographer knows there’s always value in being able to capture them in photos. Whether using their photos as a steady income to supplement their research, or using them to study battle techniques to the point of imitation, the photographer’s sharp eyes pay off.

The Professor is a Researcher who has mastered the knowledge surrounding all pokemon known to the masses. They can identify things about a pokemon such as its level of power, its complete move set, its specific home’s location or anything else factual about a pokemon with less then a glance at its silhouette. Professors are unparalleled kings of intelligence and use their vast amount of knowledge proves it. They are unrivalled field commanders and utilize their strategy to ensure their party’s victory.

A Researcher who practices the creation of various concoctions is a Scientist. They mix various materials together to make repels, potions, and other items used for whatever they can think up. A Scientist doesn’t always have the right materials for their desired product, but maybe a few experiments will prove to create a new potion unlike any seen before.

The pokemon Watcher is a Researcher very in tune with a pokemon’s natural habitat. They can identify facts about a wild pokemon’s living conditions such as the amount of pokemon they live with, which nearby spot yields those family members and how easily they can tackle the foe at hand, just by looking at the wild pokemon. Another talent a watcher has, unseen in any other trainer type, is that ability to locate and track down shiny pokemon who make great pageant competitors or grand auction items.

Not every trainer grew up under the care of humans. Some – whether abandoned at birth or whatever turn of fate – grew up in the care of Pokemon. Wild Children, as they're often called, do not use Pokeballs or
other methods they consider to be 'enslavement'. They bond with Pokemon by proving their own strength and skills, by befriending them with food and companionship. The innate understanding they form with their few allies is different from other trainers. They are not master and servant; they are equals.

“Human-not-human”. “Beast man”. “Half-Pokemon”. “Gijinka”. In fear and awe, humans have tried to attach many names to them. They don't care, however; humans are just another creature that is no longer them. Their minds might be human – barely – but their bodies have begun to change into something else. These rare beings could draw fear and legends just from their appearance, but their powers are what truly inspire and frighten, for they can fight on even footing with Pokemon, with their own powers.

In most civilized circles, the act of killing a Pokemon in battle is frowned upon, especially if deliberate. For the Hunter, it's just a way of life – the weak die and the strong survive, nay, thrive off of it. Their lack of
mercy drives many human companions away, but their efficiency, mastery, and self-sufficiency creates a resourceful ally who can supply himself and others with food, shelter, clothing, and even weapons crafted from the dead.

Sometimes, society is ugly. Many can still see the good that also exists, but a few of them become far too disgusted with the way that their fellow humans treat Pokemon. They lash out against society and other
trainers in response. To the normal citizen, they are branded anarchists and criminals. The name they give themselves, though, is Liberators: deliverers of natural justice, fighting for the goal of freeing enslaved Pokemon and turning the bad karma of their captors against them.

Emerging from their time in the wild with an eye for detail and an unnaturally honed affinity for learning, the Mimic isn't just capable of copying a couple Moves; everything their eyes see, they can recreate. Multitalented and well-rounded, by themselves master of none – surrounded by friends and foes, capable of almost anything. They learn to borrow from Trainer and Pokemon alike, turning their opponent's specialties right back against them.

The howl of a Pokemon leading their pack out hunting can strike fear into even the most experienced trainer. It is even more haunting when the one rallying their companions is another human. They command respect from the Pokemon they meet and order them into line with the same power of authority. These wild men and women hardly need the companionship of humans, because they have already found a family.

Meeting a Legendary Pokemon is a great honour on many, and often impacts the way they live their lives from then on. Tribesmen take it a step farther. They bond with the great beast they have paid witness to, worship it, and gain power in return. One part worshipper, one part fanatic, and one part blessed avatar of the legends themselves, they inspire their allies and leave behind myths of their own wherever they go.

The Wanderer is a human who will never settle down into society. The world is an endless stretch ahead, and there are an infinite number of friends to meet along the way. Their journey is not about knowledge or strength or a number; it is about the journey itself. They gather a great many experiences on their journey, each parting only strengthening them. To those who have the fortune to travel with a Wanderer, even for a
while, they are made forever richer by the share of knowledge.

Absolutely. Just to give you a background story idea, Elementals can use telepathy with Pokemon, so maybe your guy talked to the fossil before it was revived? Just an idea.

[Cascade Failure]

That is an idea. Ahh, now would I be allowed to have him as 21? Good reason- I want him to have gone to a university, it fits well with his background, though I understand if the age range is specific for a reason ^.^

I guess depending on your character and his or her personality. I'll leave this up for you guys to decide.
