Teacher CS. [hider=Teacher]Name: The name on my card says Valerie Buroughs, but to you students that'll be Miss Buroughs. Or, Miss Valerie. Either or. Gender: Didn't you hear me when I said I'm 'Miss Buroughs'? I'm a lady. A female, in other words. Age: I don't look a day over thirty. Which is good, because I'm actually thirty five. Don't tell anyone. Appearance: [IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/rri6au.jpg[/IMG] Region of Origin: I hail from Kalos. No, I'm not the Valerie from Laverre City, stop asking. City of Origin: Lumiose City. Well, I was actually born in Coumarine City, but no one needs to know that. Subject: I teach Pokemon Grooming and Caretaking. It's not a blowoff class, don't treat it as such. History: Am I writing a book here, why should students want to know about their teacher? Oh, I guess there's no harm in it. Alright, look, battling isn't where I made my mark in the world of Pokemon. Don't get me wrong, I can battle quite well, and you'll notice I have the full eight Kalos badges to further my claim. But never mind that. See, there's more to Pokemon than battles, and that's where I decided to focus my efforts. Though I was born in Coumarine, I made my mark in Lumiose, which is home to several Pokemon grooming facilities, and no, I don't mean those places where you go to give a Furfrou a haircut or something, I mean a place where smart trainers go to increase the level of trust between them. I apprenticed under a great mentor who taught me the rights and wrongs of caring for Pokemon. It's an art, you see, and the truly great trainers will not just assume battling and 'tactical planning' is how to become a great trainer. After my apprenticeship, I was full time groomer which soon gave way to me participating in contests, no, not those battle things, but the things Coordinators do. It's like battling, but instead of fighting trainers directly, it's done indirectly and via creativity and quick thinking. It was here where I truly got to shine and show off my care for my Pokemon. It's easy for some trainer to say there's a bond between your Pokemon and you, it's another for there to BE a bond. I've seen many trainers not understand this, and that's what I'm here for. I'm here to show the future great trainers of the world how to really care for and bring out the best of your Pokemon outside of battle. In other words, I'm going to show you that berries have more use than mid-battle resources. Trust me. I'm an expert. Personality: Ugh, the other teachers are so serious all the time, aren't they? Not me. I'm the type of teacher that will crack a joke - and you will laugh or you're getting double homework. See? Jokes! But don't assume this means I'm not serious about the class, about the craft, I am, and though I'm much more easy going and easier to talk with, I still expect my students to learn, to grow, and to complete assignments on time. I may be your friend, but I'm still a teacher, respect that. Respect me. We'll get along. Ask me nicely and I'll get you Diantha's autograph.

Pokemon Species: Blissey Nickname: Spinel Appearance: [img]http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/scale_small/13/135472/1898293-242blissey.png[/img] Personality: Well, Spinel here is like most Blissey, always happy, always energetic, always willing to help out.

Notable Moves: Softboiled, Protect, Toxic, Aromatherapy, Thunder Wave, Seismic Toss Species: Pangoro Nickname: Jet Appearance: [IMG]http://i62.tinypic.com/2hevytg.png[/IMG] Personality: Watch out, class, Jet is angered easily. And when he gets angry, he likes to punch. He likes to roar, he likes to stomp, and then he likes to fall asleep. Strong, fierce, loyal....and lazy. That's my Jet for you. Notable Moves: Crunch, Brick Break, Taunt, Hammer Arm, Bulk Up, Poison Jab Species: Arcanine Nickname: Pyrope Appearance: [IMG]http://clipart.toonarific.com/data/media/11/pokemon059.gif[/IMG] Personality: Please don't ask to pet Pyrope. He's already arrogant enough, don't add to it. Notable Moves: ExtremeSpeed, Crunch, Flamethrower, Wild Charge, Morning Sun Species: Gothitelle Nickname: Momoko Appearance: [IMG]http://pldh.net/media/dreamworld/576.png[/IMG] Personality: I swear, you make her your in-class assistant and she thinks she's superior to the others. She's vain, she's self centered, she's kind of spoiled - that one's on me, but I couldn't ask for a more reliable partner. Well, I could, but I wouldn't want to. Beneath her show offy, selfishness is a Pokemon more dependable than any other. Notable Moves: Psychic, Calm Mind, Rest, Shadow Ball, Signal Beam, Thunder Wave[/hider]
