Personality

Derrik is a very curious person, especially regarding pokemon and is always eager to learn about them. Being a bit too eager that it tends to get him bit/scratched/clawed or other various types of injuries from getting too close to pokemon. His upbringing leaving him reckless; heading straight into things without thinking and is very passionate in his studies that he can't help but give information, even when no one asks for it. Yet, he believes in fairness and makes sure no trace of foulness or cheating takes place and goes out of his way to help those who have been wronged; whether by someone else or himself as he see's it as disgraceful.

Biography

Born into a poor family made up of his parents, two brothers and three sisters. A family known as traveling healers with no actual home for they lived in the wild where they researched and studied pokemon. Doing so to discover new ways to heal them of injuries and to learn the habits of pokemon that rarely if never interact or come across humans. This left the family constantly changing locations, though twice a month his parents travel into nearby town to help any sick pokemon as Derrik; the youngest of family to be watched and taught by his siblings.

His parents were often gone for weeks at a time or merely days and they did so without asking for payment as saving lives was enough. Derrik has learned much over the years of living in the wild, being taught the way of survival; more how to handle wild pokemon, which resulted in him getting injured countless time as the family gained experience by doing.

As he aged, so too did his boldness; taking care of the more ferocious and dangerous pokemon that his siblings were too scared to deal with. On one such incident, this recklessness of trying to tend to an female pyroar with an injured leg; had moved too close too fast and received a strong swipe that cost him his right eye.

This attack was, ironically an eye opener for though he lost an eye, this experience helped him to realize the scale of pokemon he has helped was miniscule. Knowing there were still countless pokemon out there to find, to study and how so inexperienced he was; at that moment, Derrick decided it was time to travel the world. It was his chance to not only study pokemon, but to befriend them for he had read in books of how people actually captured pokemon and traveled with them as companions, though at first the thought of making them fight irked him.

The more he read and learned of trainers and how they battled and trained together in order to grow stronger both in strength and bond. Nothing intrigued him more and while his parents discouraged at the thought of him leaving, gave him what little they could scrape together and wished him a safe journey.

Derrick wondered where the begin, when recalling his meeting with a trainer who spoke of his homeland. This encounter lasted a day; listening to the traveler speak of the Huji region regarding its town and mysterious, mythical monuments, but what caught his interest the most were the pokemon. He learned of many new exotic pokemon; all of various size and shape not found in the Autrio region and desired to discover and research these foreign creatures to further broaden his knowledge on their way of life both of the wild and with trainers.

After much thinking, recalling all that he was told and made his decision to set out to the Huji region. It was a brand new, unknown experience for him and though he had no idea what to expect; at least had a starting point with the traveling trainer mentioning a port town perfect for foreign trainers to start at....

1. Immediately give first aid to said injured rattata and while curious of the rustling, but with an injured pokemon and decide to leave it be and take the rattata to the nearest pokemon center.
-Gat remains perplexed and appalled that his trainer even bothers to waste his time with the pathetic rat.

2. Amazed at such a massive pokemon and put the journey on hold to learn of a snorlax's habit and use the gained info for the best way to move the snorlax without causing damage to the bridge or the pokemon for only a fool would pass up such an opportunity to study such a strange creature.
-Gat is angry being stuck with his trainer watching the slumbering fat slob

3. Excited to witness the experience of a mother hoot hoot scrounging for food for its young and watch every moment silently while making sure not to disturb it and inspect the owl for any hint of possible injuries. Afterwards leave some food behind then be on my way while jotting the event down in his research journal
-gat is filled with the blood thirsty malice at the hoot hoot that dares steal from him

4. Realize that the purpose of this attack is due to him entering their territory and quickly surmise the best route for escape. After getting away, my curiosity gets to me and I carefully sneak into their nest to gain as much info before finally being found and once again escaping, though with a fair amount of painful stings.

-gat would facepalm if he had hands to facepalm (xD)
