While Quilo relies on his personal Pokémon during battles with appropriately skilled trainers, not all of his challengers have their seven gym badges. For that reason, he keeps weaker teams around for weaker challengers. They can include:

• Smoochum (Forewarn) (Sweet Kiss, Powder Snow, Confusion, Sing)
• Swinub (Snow Cloak) (Mud-Slap, Powder Snow, Hail, Endure)
• Sneasel (Pickpocket) (Feint Attack, Fury Swipes, Avalanche, Ice Punch.)

Talents: Cass is a decent singer and frequently uses her voice to earn extra cash at bars around Kanto.

Personality: Cassandra tends to be a free spirit, her journey turns on a whim. She enjoys the wilderness and can be found constantly exploring looking for new and exciting places, hoping to discover a new or rare pokemon. She feels that she connects easier to Pokemon than people and can sometimes come off as stand offish or cocky. She has deep seeded trust issues of other people's intentions due to her troubling past.

Background: Cassandra grew up on the outskirts of Saffron City, her father was sent to prison for running a Team Rocket smuggling operation. She spent most of her time out on Route 8 playing with wild pokemon. When she was 16 she got a job at Celadons casino as a singer. Shortly after her 18th birthday, police would raid the place tying it to Team Rocket and arresting all staff. When the officers found out who her father was they charged her as an accessory, assuming she had followed in her father's footsteps. After her case was dismissed, Cass left home trying to escape her father's sordid past.

During her travels she came across a man attacking and torturing a Ghastly, Cass stepped in chased off the attacker. The Ghastly decided to join her and became her first pokemon, and is hardly found in it's pokeball. Soon after they managed to capture a few more pokemon, using Cass's singing to help pay for their travels.

Personality: Graz' most definitive trait is his curiosity. He is always looking for ways to satisfy his questions, even if that means going forth himsef to investigate. He is also fairly easy-going and enjoys an adventurous lifestyle, often growing impatient if left to stay in one place for too long. Hardworking enough to succeed in the competitive field of research but not particularly motivated in most other aspects of life, Graz is easy enough to talk to, though he'll mostly either seem too intense with questions or absentminded as he thinks of other things. Because of the intense ridicule he's faced when dealing with his particular field of research (dubbed crypto-zoology by his peers) he becomes incredibly definsive about his findings, and refuses to share them with people he doesn't trust. In addition, after that fateful night, he hasn't been able to tolerate dragon pokemon, and upon viewing one is met with his usual curiosity paired with mistrust and fear.
Background: For the most part, Graz lived an ordinary childhood. The son of commuters to Castelia City, he always felt the bustle of city life without having to live in an especially crowded area. He was never partiularly interested in pokemon only because the life of a trainer did not appeal to him- capturing wild pokemon for the purpose of battle seemed exciting, but he wasn't sure he was competitive or dedicated enough for such a life. He hardly paid much attention to pokemon until one particularly stormy night when he was around twelve.

The entire town woke to the sounds of haunting howls and moans from the ocean. Coming from a fairly superstitious family, Graz was kept inside and the blinds were drawn, but his curiosity got the better of him and he snuck out. The sight that met him was burned into his memory forever. With only lamp posts, windows, and the moon to illuminate the streets, Graz saw in the distance a massive silhouette. There was no doubt the ghostly song was coming from the creature, as it walked up and down Virbank's coast. Upon a closer inspection, it looked to be about the shape of a Goodra- but there were no confirmed instances of a Goodra being as big as the one he saw! It was at least the height of a skyscraper and had a call that could rival even the largest of frigates.

Drawn to the monster, Graz rushed to the beach and looked into its big, glowing eyes for a few moments before it turned and retreated back into the ocean, underneath the upset waves of the stormy sea. That was the last he saw of the creature, though in the following years he would spend hours at the beach hoping for a miracle, anything to prove the endless night terrors weren't just his imagination. He had even learned to sail, his interest piqued after observing one of the many mysteries the sea had to offer. No one else had seen the pokemon, at least no one who would speak about it. Nobody believed him, claiming that if such a pokemon could exist, then it would certainly be captured and used by a master pokemon trainer. But Graz knew what he saw.

The internet was ripe with stories of mysterious pokemon variations and mutations- Alolan forms and shiny pokemon were the more accepted forms of genetic mutation and abnormality, and no research had proven that such pokemon could exist. He became something of a laughingstock in even suggesting the possibility, and for awhile wondered if he might be crazy. And so Graz resolved he would become a pokemon researcher, to prove that extraordinary pokemon existed- not legendary or mythical pokemon, but "ordinary" species that had become something else. He would document their existence, for himself if not the entire world.

Now working under one of the most distinguished universities in the world in the field of pokemon research, Graz is investivating some leads in the Kanto region with his trusty assistant Vaporeon Napoleon, who he'd had since he was a child, and Pacasso, a cottonee who joined him right before he left Unova. Currently, the team is investigating reported sightings of a giant Dragonite off the region's southern coast. . .

Name: Clive Wolfenheim

Nicknames: Wolf

Age: 21

Hometown: Fuchsia City

Height: 6 feet

Weight: 200lbs.

Occupation: Previously: Pokemon Ranger, Currently: Pokemon Trainer

Likes:
○ Pokemon
○ Challenges
○ Adventuring
○ Rain
Dislikes:
○ Thugs
○ Large groups of people
○ Annoying People

Talents:
-He's adept at battling.
-He tends to be very perceptive, anticipating his opponent's moves based on the resources at hand due to their Pokemon; or even in a social sense.
-Due to having been a Pokemon Ranger for years, various outdoor skills are natural to him. He is also familiar with a very wide array of Pokemon.

Personality: Clive is usually a generally reserved person, preferring to let people initiate conversation first. He is, however, very loving towards his Pokemon, and treats them as if they were his children, or very close friends. He enjoys experiencing interactions with new Pokemon and places he has never met or been to before.

Background: Clive was raised solely by his mother, Casey Wolfenheim, who worked as a Pokemon Ranger in the Fuchsia City Safari zone. He had always admired her job, and wished to do the same thing as he grew up, being influenced even more by the fact that she often allowed him to come with her and see all the rare Pokemon. One day, his mother caught him his first Pokemon at the Safari Zone, a Psyduck. The Duck Pokemon quickly became a strong companion to Clive, and as they grew up together, it eventually evolved into a Golduck.

When Clive reached the age of 18, he was finally allowed to become a Pokemon Ranger, and did so for 3 years. But eventually, something didn't feel right anymore. Many strong trainers always came through the Safari Zone. They always had amazing stories of their adventures and the exotic Pokemon they'd met. He wanted to be a part of that. His mother supports his dream, and makes sure he has everything he needs to travel the region and become a powerful trainer.

Golduck "Nove" ♀

Kecleon "Breko" ♂
Ability: Protean
Moves: Shadow Claw, Thunder Punch, Aerial Ace, Quick Attack
Info: Clive adopted Breko from a "Pokemon homeless shelter" of sorts. They quickly became friends and have been together for about a year.

- She is able to train her Pokemon in such a way that she doesn't need her command to dodge every single attack coming their way when they can see it or block/deflect it with another attack.
- She's a great cheater player in gambling.
- Ceres knows how to put on a fake persona every now and then.

_{P E R S O N A L I T Y}

"I'm Celestia Paragon, though if you don't want to be so formal. Please, call me Ceres."

Ceres comes off as an authoritative woman with principles and responsibilities akin to that of a very successful businesswoman. She is straightforward with her opinions and will not back down on it unless she is proven wrong. Ceres can be quite strict to young people who misbehave around her which gives her an air of a motherly figure that only knows what's best for their child. Sounds like someone to look up to in the future right?

Wrong. This is her default fake persona.

In reality, she would often lead others astray or reward them with benefits so long as it gives her an advantage in life. While she does not actively believe in truly getting rid of something by taking a life despite being in said shady organization, she actually wants those she screws over to give in and join their growing numbers. Were it not for her vindictive charisma their probably wouldn't even be a crime organization this big in Kanto. Although sometimes she wishes she could do this with men her age who could finally have a date with her using her actual personality.

Although that's nigh impossible to find, almost as rare as finding a "Shiny" Pokemon.

"I was a former Pokemon League Champion in all the six regions with the Gym Badge Curriculum... but that was when the ban on ten year old trainers wasn't implemented. You're several years too inexperienced to go toe-to-toe with me!"

Haughty and proud of her training, she would often berate trainers during their battle just to throw them off their tune and win the victory under her name. While this was a dirty way to win by a lot of people who fight fair and square this did not bother her one bit.

So what's she doing hanging around a shady organization in Kanto? Simple. Because she lost her status as a Pokemon League Champion by other trainers who are likely the same age as her or a few years younger, she yearns to crush the will of other Trainers before they could step up. Why do this? It's boring once you're champion, it'll only be so many battles before you're dethroned and off the seat. She believed it'll be a little fun to work with bad people for a little bit.

No wonder she couldn't get a boyfriend. She's a complete psycho.

_{B A C K G R O U N D}

Before the ban of ten year old trainers, Celestia Paragon was one of those ten year olds who went out to fend for themselves using Pokemon from their local Research Laboratories and picking out a starter Pokemon to start their journey. This was her wish when she was still living in Snowbelle City with a rich upbringing causing her to gain a spoiled attitude which allowed her to have several high-quality Pokeballs and Potions to use on her journey.

It was later found out that during her journey to become a Pokemon Champion in the Kalos Region. She kept losing because she didn't know that one had to command their Pokemon to dodge an attack that was coming their way. It kinda serves her right to think she can take on the world with a delinquent Fennekin. Annoyed and frustrated, she gave her Pokemon a harsh pep talk and began training by using other kids and other trainers as a vent for the temper loss even going as far as distracting her opponent's Pokemon to gain the upper hand. Eventually as the days go by, she had trained all her caught Pokemon how to dodge and block attacks without her command and this continued as she won gym badges... with the gym leaders bearing a grudge to her and her tactics.

Putting up a fake mask wasn't easy and she believed that putting on a "respected" persona was a good way for people not to brand her as a brat who wins by getting her way. Of course she did let her real face slip out a little bit during her acting, most people believe she's just a strict, condescending person.

She won various Pokemon Leagues across each Region, wins and losses here and there in the aftermath before she got bored of the title in Kanto and lost against a certain Pokemon master with a Pikachu. To quell this boring peaceful mind and without knowing better, she met up with shady individuals and joined their organization without knowing what they really are.

Not like she cares so long as she has fun, right?
