Current Rank: Novice

Gender: Female

Age: 26

Physical Description: Relatively thin, not healthy but not malnourished. Valora has long burgundy hair with some strands of crimson red that is often straight and becomes more crimson in the sun. Clothing stays simple and more times than not, shirts are black in color while pants varies in shades of blue (Jeans). Her skin is fair, smooth with some scaring on her hands from hunting Rattata in her younger years and paying the price of biting. Though it does not bother her. Hazel eyes often seem empty but her smile will always shine through no matter how false it is.

Medical History:


History: Originally from Fuchsia City, Valora grew up in the presence of a corrupt way of living. Her parents were locally well-known petty thieves though far from being notorious and frequently brought home various of foods and other living supplies. Sure, it was to survive, but it was no way of a proper living which eventually led up to Valora's depression. During her time there at a young age, her family had a 'pet' Ekans that was often caged when her parents were home. They did not care for the Ekans and simply left it to do what Ekans do best, whatever that was to be. But Valora enjoyed the Ekans presence, and when her parents were not home, should would let it out and even play around with it while being cautious in some way. Sometimes Valora would even go out nearby and catch field Rattatas to feed to the Ekans, though Rattata bites were never pleasant. They eventually developed a bond that she never had with her parents.
One day, when Valora turned 16 she overheard some kids talking next door about becoming trainers one day. Days passed after hearing about becoming a 'trainer', laying in her room with Ekans who was moved into her room by her Mother. This could be her only chance. Hesitation swept over the young girl as she looked over to her friend, Ekans. Giving a slight nod to herself, she got up grabbing Ekans out of it's cage and darting out the door when her Parents were not present. No where to go, no survival skills, just a little trust in her friend and a world full of danger. But good was on her side.
It was only a couple of days since Valora ran from home, and they were already struggling to survive. Nights were horror and daytime was never as easy as it seems. Valora wasn't alone though. A small caravan was approaching and Valora did not hesitate to stop it and plead. The caravan rider was accompanied by rather large mons, but felt pity for the girl and her Ekans. So, taking her aboard hiding her in the back of the cargo, they made their way through and ended up in Cerulean City where the rider was going to drop off merchandise. With a thanks, Valora got off and began her life in the beautiful blue city, where not only she enjoys seafood delicacies, but started on her path becoming a trainer. Years have passed living day by day on the streets of Cerulean City, and she has finally just made due with a small apartment working a part-time job. The only thing left on her list to accomplish was to pass the Exam to become an official Trainer. Valora and Ekans had a lot of work ahead of them, and she was determined. Valora has not seen the Caravan Rider since her arrival in Cerulean City...

History: The Ashton family has had a long history of serving Kanto patriotically, first and foremost. His father? A decorated Blackhat Ranger Major. His grandfather? A Kantonese Navy Sailor. His grandmother? A military nurse. His uncle? A now imprisoned, former director of A.C.E. Perhaps, the last on the list isn't a perfect example of a role-model to uphold but it doesn't matter.

A future military career was in Willis's blood and he couldn't resist the temptation.

Willis Robert Ashton was born in Pallet Town to Robert Ashton, whose accolades as a impressive private investigator in Interpol and a Blackhat Major earned him a retirement in the cozy valley country town, and Marissa Mason, a Pecha Berry Farmer. His father, tired with the long life of conflict and shedding his blood for Kanto's needs, wanted a safe, humble life in Pallet Town, despite the fact it was a downgrade from his former position of a Blackhat Ranger. A fresh start with a new pallet of paint for his painting. Safety and sanctity was all that mattered to Robert and if anyone came to ruin that, there would be a price to pay.

Unfortunately, it was his son who wanted to pay the price.

Willis was a hot-blooded, arrogant ruffian at his age, pumped full of aggression and a sense of justice like his old man. He attended the Pallet 2nd Precinct Public School from first grade to high-school where teachers often reported him for excessive acts of vigilantism against bullies and 'sociopathic violent behavior'. Robert was at his wits end. He didn't know how to communicate with his son nor did he know how to interact with him. He was ashamed to be the boy's father. Eventually, after a long argument with his wife, Robert decided that maybe he couldn't interact with him as Robert Ashton, the countryside berry farmer but his former identity, the Ratel, the psuedonym associated with his former lifestyle as a Blackhat Ranger could.

In order to curb Willis's pent up aggression and re-purpose it towards a more useful purpose, Robert took his son out to weekly excursions in the Viridian Forest and acted as an impromptu drill sergeant, training him in numerous Blackhat skills such as cartography, hunting, strategic pokemon-battling, cooking, rope-tying and hand to hand combat in hopes that he could restrain Willis's blood-thirsty nature. It did. For a while. Until Willis revealed his ambitions of becoming a Ranger. Just like his Dad. Without his permission.

Needless to say, Daddy wasn't happy with his son's future life prospects. He knew that one day, Willis was going to retire from a Ranger. Either with a bang or with a whimper. The problem was how the experience of retirement was going to be. All that Robert felt he could do morally was to support his son on his decision and hope that he wouldn't fall far from grace.

Willis rose to the non-commissioned rank of Corporal during his tenure in the Ranger Corps, specializing in the role of an Infantry Reconnaissance Unit. Willis made himself known as 'The Badger', a lesser mirror image of his father's nickname in the Corps, 'The Ratel'. While he was respected in the Corps as a able Ranger who knew the importance of what was at stake, veterans would mercilessly tease him about being related to one of the greatest Rangers in the Ranger Corps and how he would live up to his dad's legacy.

Willis decided to ante up. Anger and stress can do strange things to one mind. Make them unpredictable. Irrational.

He went to the Colonel's office and applied for SO training, commonly known as Special Operations Training. One of the most gung-ho and dangerous training programs within the Ranger Corps that promised to make recruits able to take down an Nidoking with a knife and a beret only in hand to hand combat and make them virtually indestructible.

Too bad that it had a 75% fatality rate at the most.

The details are sketchy but at the end of the program, let's just say Willis survived. But he didn't succeed. While his old man retired from the corps due to psychological trauma, Willis retired from the Corps at the ripe young age of 20 due to physiological trauma. His entire body was like a rag-doll, mauled and nearly torn to shreds by a Ursaring. His left arm was missing and once more, he just wasn't the same anymore.

The Corps couldn't use a body like that. And so, they tossed his body out into the gutter, with a cardboard box of all his belongings and a muddy beret. The experience had completely curbed Willis's desire for violence and his previous fire had now simmered into a smoking wick. Doused. At its end. He was lost. Lame. He walked back home to Pallet with a heavy head, wondering what to tell to his old man. He couldn't bear facing his dad like this. What would he tell him?

That the Ranger Corps had no future for him. But, maybe, the Pokemon League had a future for him and his broken body. Without the knowledge of his dad, Willis signed up for the P.T.A.E and the 1050th Seasonal Indigo Pokemon League, believing that it's his only chance to derive some sense of redemption for his fall of grace. While he doesn't want to admit it and doesn't believe it to be true, Willis subconciously believes that becoming a League Finalist is the only way of making his old man proud of him and measuring him to his achievements.

Because, once you've caught them all...., nothing can catch you off your guard. Ever again.

Exam Proctor Report:
Applicant 117464, Willis Robert Ashton, displays an unfound vast in mental fortitude during the practical aspects of the exam. During mock battles and simulated wild pokemon encounters, he was one of the few rare candidates who never lost his composure, almost to the point of being emotionally insensate, and exhibits a strategic mindset when battling. Despite the lack of compassion and worry towards his starter mon, it is this proctor's report that this applicant has the most potential for succeeding in League-sanctioned unrestricted format matches. Due to his Ranger Corps Background, this applicant has one of the highest scores in the P.T.A.E by far, above average in all skill categories essential for a Trainer to survive in the League, especially Wilderness Survival and Species Recognition.

However, it is prominent in the Practical Section of the Examinations that this applicant obstinance when it comes to his physical abilities may be his future downfall. While he is not physically hampered by his past injuries to the point of being physically inferior to a majority of candidates, it is obvious that he is not living up to the supposed regimented physical routines that Rangers are touted for. He is unable to run for more than a mile without breaking out of breath and risks injuring himself if he pushes himself beyond his standard physical abilities.

P.T.A.E Score: 94%

Confirmation of Starter Mon: Thrush - Oddish. Height: 2 feet. Weight: 30 pounds. Origin: Home-Bred. Gender: Male Status of Evolution: Near-evolution.

Pokemon Bio: Thrush is a G.I warmon produced by Waterloo Facilities as a means of serving a Ranger on a field. His enhanced physiological capabilities and the amount of unorthodox ways that an Oddish can be used to survive in the wild means that Thrush is above the average norm for his species as a whole.

Thrush is subservient and loyal to Willis, willing to sacrifice and die for his commander, and has no noticable personality traits due to being a Chloroplism.

Legal Name: Rhode Korbin Ahrens

P.K.M.N Trainer Identity: Cadet (Yes, it's a color XD)


Current Rank: Novice

Gender: Male

Age: 20

Physical Description: Tall, lean and never without a grim stuck to his face, Rhode sports well defined, but not overly bulky muscle on his frame. With a preference for dark colored clothes that don't hamper his movement, Rhode is easy to pick out of a crowd thanks to the tribal Dragonair tattoo on his right arm.

Medical History:
Blood type- A neg
Height- 6'2"
Weight- 180lbs
Diseases- None
Injuries-

Age 10- Broken arm; fall
Age 12- 13 stitches over left eyebrow; encounter with fractious wild Pokemon
Age 13- Dislocated shoulder; laceration over right solar plexus; Wild Pokemon encounter
Age 15- Concussion
Age 19- Multiple stab wounds

History: Pokemon have been a part of Rhode's life since day one. Raised by his grandparents, and primary caretakers of the Safari Zone of Fuscia City, Dolan and Elsie Ahrens made sure his childhood was never dull. Frequent camping expeditions into the rough terrain to help his grandparents catch and treat Pokemon injured by careless trainers were a staple of his life. He learned to read thanks to his grandfather's books on Pokemon health and wellness, and spent his later years roaming the Safari Zone alone doing the work the his grandparents could no longer keep pace with, with an abandoned Charmander he dubbed "Kye" as his constant companion. Due to their work maintaining and restraining the wide variety of wild Pokemon at the edge of the city, the Ahrens' enjoyed a measure of peace from the Kurowasa clan for a great number of years, until attendance to the Safari Zone began to wane and bills began to pile higher.

Pleading and bargaining with the Kurowasa clan produced little results, and left the future of the Pokemon preserve in jeopardy. To make matters worse, the Clan started encroaching more and more on the Zone's land without any real force to stop them. Rhode took up with a few of their more frequent "visitors" and their illicit activities to help pay the bills, much to his grandparents' chagrin. The rigorous training and neat superhuman level of physical prowess suited Rhode well, as he quickly developed a knack for parkor and freerunning that let him better keep pace with the Pokemon around him.

However, an accident that left one of the Clan crippled left Rhode with a target drawn across his back. Unable to keep their grandson safe in Fuscia any longer, they sent him off to take his P.T.A.E. in the hopes that obtaining status as a trainer would help offer him some protection against the Clan. Meanwhile, Rhode is convinced if he and Kye can climb the ranks through the Pokemon League, they might have a shot at speaking with Koga to convince him to give them back their lives and the Safari Zone.

Rhode has little issue getting along with people and Pokemon alike, but wholeheartedly despises restriction and rules of any sort when the world he grew up with was so open. He couldn't care less about his own wellbeing when it comes to his Pokemon, and would rather take the blow himself than see his partners in pain.

Academic/Exam Proctor Report:

"While technically adept throughout the course of his examination, I have serious concerns administering a passing score. I would be remiss in my duties as a proctor for this exam to not bring to light the utterly reckless nature and lack of self-preservation demonstrated by Mr. Arhens. I understand most young men lack any fear of their own mortality, however, in all my years I have not witnessed such a reliance on sheer, dumb luck as I was privy to throughout the duration of his examination.

As a case in point, during the field trials, Mr. Ahrens thoughtlessly stepped in the path of a wild Pokemon's attack to prevent it from reaching his own assigned pokemon. Though he was able to complete the exam, he required treatment from the on staff medics.

Such blatant disregard for trainer safety, even his own personal safety, was not just a common theme during his exam, but highlighted during his mental evaluation as well. As I have been led to understand, his primary occupation prior to this test involved the rehabilitation of wild Pokemon. I have serious concerns that perhaps his previous experiences with Pokemon will leave him predisposed to take greater risks and be susceptible to injury without immediate aid."

Legal Name: Ashlynn Ivy

Image of Reference:

P.K.M.N Trainer Identity: Royal


Current Rank: Novice

Gender: Female

Age: 18

Physical Description: Ashlynn is a tall, skinny girl with bowl-cut brown hair and pale white skin. She’s impeccably well dressed, though rarely in particularly feminine fashion, preferring to display her wealth and taste with a variety of designer pants and blouses rather than dresses. She has a few more practical clothes in her pack for the life of a trainer, but she’s not terribly enthused about wearing them.

Medical History:
Blood Type- B+
Height- 6'1"
Weight- 150lbs
Diseases- Colorblindness,
Injuries-

History: Ashlynn Ivy is both an aristocrat and a military brat – born the only child of General Rannet Ivy, one of the key leaders of the Kantonese National Military, Ashlynn’s life has been a story of privilege and high expectations in equal measure. She had the best schooling and the best things, and she lived in luxury with her parents in Vermillion city.
She was a stranger to tragedy until she was eleven years old, when her mother departed on a ship to visit her family in Kalos. Her ship was destroyed by a rogue Gyrados, removed from their normal habitat for reasons that remain unclear even now, and Ashlynn was alone with her father. He grew stricter, more dispassionate, more reserved, and Ashlynn threw herself into her studies with wild abandon. In her household, everyone was expected to be the best – and so, she would be.
When she came of age, she approached her father about taking the exam. He accepted her dream, foolish as it was, with his trademark stoicism; he had never really involved himself in her life, instead leaving her to be raised by a parade of servants, and as a result it was hardly surprising that he didn’t much seem to care what she wanted to do. Even so, he arranged for her transport and agreed to provide her with a starter Pokemon; a promise Ashlynn came to regard as a cruel joke when he called her to examine Whiskey, a Nidoran of ‘the highest pedigree’ for her to take ownership of as soon as she passed the exam.
Her studies paid off, and she passed with flying colors. Now, Ashlynn is ready to set off to assert her superiority, make this wide world hers, and prove without a doubt that she is the best.

Psychological exam suggests that Ashlynn is extremely driven, goal-oriented, and quite arrogant. Thrives under conditions of solitude, works very poorly in sections of the exam focused around co-operation. Examiners candidly referred to her as ‘insufferably smug’ and ‘inspiringly confident’ in equal measure, with consensus being that she is a dyed-in-the-wool aristocrat. Reason to believe that her parental legacy is a source of psychological vulnerability for her – seems to have great difficulty reconciling independence with need for father’s approval. Strong negative emotional reactions to images of various aquatic pokemon, particularly the Gyrados – suggests unresolved trauma related to mother’s death.

Confirmation of Starter Pokemon: Whiskey, a male Nidoran provided by her father – she’s rather frustrated with how ‘common’ the starter he provided her was, but he insisted on her not having any ‘undue advantages’.

P.K.M.N Trainer Identity: Burgundy

Current Rank: Novice

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Physical Description:
Standing nearly a head taller than the other girls her age, Perna is quite tall. Considering her own mother is an inch taller, it seems she still has room to grow. Her hands are rougher and harder from working long days in the family orchard. Her hair is a long tangle of ginger red rivulets, which she keeps secured in a pragmatic braid. Subtle freckles dust her shoulders and the bridge of her nose. Her pale skin is tinted red, and darkens a few shades in anticipation, if she spends more than half an hour in the sun. Her almost regal features and ample proportions belie the hardy and powerful frame of a natural athlete.

History:
The rolling foothills south of Mt. Moon flatten into fertile steppes until the horizon is finally overrun by the edge of a nameless forest. Perna was born to a rancher family that claimed much of these lands, raising tauros as cattle and importing miltanks from Johto to maintain a breeding stock. Her mother maintained an orange tree orchard and coaxed the local pokemon to make her honey. Her brother was a knocker. Brutal business really, but without him the tauros steaks wouldn't make it to the big cities and onto the porcelain plates of rich city folk. Her father was part of an old breed of cowboys and ranchers. He came from a long line of ranchers, his father and his father's father before him and so on. It was the life her brother intended to carry on, when their father retired.

Perna wanted none of it.

Unfortunately for her family, Perna was an ambitious little girl. She dreamed of making it big and becoming famous, enjoying the attention of a world audience like the people on TV. Growing up on the ranch was a firm and persistent reminder that she wouldn't be able to do any of it. If her family had their way, she would be tending to the orange blossoms and cutting herself on the thorns well into her seventies.

She took every opportunity to leave the ranch. The moment her chores were done, she wander around the outskirts of the Rockwood property. She never wandered too far though. She knew the dangers of the nearby forest and distant mountain paths better than most her age. Only when she could sneak away with one of her father's rifles, would she try something like that.

Not content to stay home and "mind the cattle" or "tend to the garden", anytime they went to the market or travelled to the city, Perna would go with them. Over the years, she exchanged letters with a wide variety of characters she had met at the farmer's markets or friends she made in the city. Some kept up with her regularly, others sent the occasional holiday greeting, but nothing more. One went on to become a game warden for the Safari Zone down south. Another became a geologist for the Mt. Moon Surveyors team. A few she lost contact with entirely.

Given that the ranch is too far away for video chats to work, she's become all too familiar with carrier pidgeys.

Perna made a point to learn as much about the world outside as she could from her myriad penpals. The homeschool ciriculum did little to satisfy her curiosity.

When she was fifteen she convinced her parents to let her live with her aunt and uncle in Saffron City. She had promised to return when she finished school, but Perna knew it was a lie from the start. Her childhood dream of becoming a celebrity had all but died, yet she stilled wanted to travel and explore. She enrolled in school and minded her studies, but went on very long walks and studiously observed the sights, sounds, and happenings of neighborhood.

Her chance encounter with an off-duty Pokemon League registrar opened the door for her to start travelling and leave her old life behind.

Exam Proctor Report:
"Applicant 141727, Perna Rockwood, has shown an unexpected strength and tenacity in the physical examination portion of the exam, setting a record for her demographic category. During the standard endurance test for her age group, she was noted to complete the 2 kilometer track run four consecutive times. Were it not for the lead proctor's intervention, it is likely she might have continued. Aside from physical exhaustion, the medical response team saw no threat to her health.
Her written exams scores demonstrate a below average knowledge base for a girl of her age, though she still managed to achieve a passing grade. Her academic ability remains consistent with expectations given her provincial, family education. Despite her poor marks in other areas, she did receive one of the highest scores in the Wilderness Survival section, which was a mitigating factor."

Confirmation of Starter Pokemon: Brutus - Tauros
Brutus is the largest of the steers on the Rockwood family ranch; Perna stole him so she could get her trainer's license. He's fairly calm for a tauros, though a bit aged and ornery. His temperament is closer that of a stubborn mule than a raging bull.
