[b]Background:[/b] As a child growing up in Dewey City, Shane was first exposed to Pokemon thanks to his elder cousin Janet. An accomplished trainer with a specialty for Eevees, Shane got to watch when Janet first got her Eevee and even her first real Pokemon Battle. Since that time, Janet became the talk of the family as word of her skill as a trainer would always reach home while she was out journeying and making a name for herself. It was no surprise when Shane wanted to follow her lead, and soon he got his chance. 

While visiting home, Janet's Leafeon and Glaceon unexpectedly produced an Egg. Coincidentally, it was right around Shane's 14th birthday, and part of that celebration was his receiving a trainer's license. Knowing this, Janet surprised Shane by giving him the Egg, the Eevee whom hatched from it becoming his first Pokemon partner. Janet told him that when she first set out, she crossed the Mayone Plateau and made Forte Village her first stop on her journey, so Shane decided to do the same. However, he first wanted to look around in Arune Forest for Pokemon, and while there he encountered and captured a wild Budew, his first catch as a Pokemon Trainer. The plan now is to backtrack back to Dewey City so that he can make for Mayone Plateau and, after that, Forte Village.

[b]Pokemon:[/b]
[u][b]-Eevee-[/b][/u]
Shane's original Pokemon Partner, Eevee tends to spend more time outside her Poke Ball than most of his other Pokemon, and can often be found snuggled in his backpack. She isn't shy, though, and is usually more than happy to pop out and greet someone if it hears or smells someone talking to Shane. She can also be tough when needed, too, she's an offspring of two of Janet's strongest Pokemon after all, so Eevee's not afraid to jump into the fray when she's needed. She's highly adaptable too, able to hit her opponents hard when it counts. (Ability: Adaptability)

[u][b]-Budew-[/b][/u]
The newest addition to Shane's budding team of Pokemon, Budew can be a bit temperamental when it comes to its size. Since Budew are naturally very small Pokemon, sometimes the bigger species can be known to bully them. In fact, that was Budew met his new Trainer. Shane spotted a flock of Pidgeys picking on him, and chased them off together with his Eevee partner. Out of gratitude, Budew let Shane challenge him to a battle and then catch him. Budew is usually very eager to prove himself, and as a result he hates being defeated. (Ability: Natural Cure) (Special Move: Sludge Bomb)

[b]Trainer Perks:[/b] The less common, more gimmicky Poke Balls seem to work better for him than the standard ones. He also tends to prefer those Balls because they look flashier and more unique.[/hider]

So, how will you determine which abilities are deemed useless? Both my chosen Pokemon have Abilities with questionable usefulness, or at least they seem to be outside of the Meta Game anyway, though Eevee's is more so since it's stuck with Run Away.
