Oreburgh City, Sinnoh


        a p p e a r a n c e        
During the early years of her journey as a Pokemon Trainer, Miki was a lean, almost skinny girl with black hair with red tips that she dyed herself. Her hair in her younger years was often left unstyled due to its natural smoothness. Over the years, much like her fashion sense, she refined it, cut it a few inches shorter, but always kept the black with red tips. Miki has red eyes that appear dulled due to a silverish tint in them. Miki has also been very short, with her growth spurt really only giving her about a foot from ten to her current age, so she stands at 5'4". 

Her fashion style has roughly remained the same throughout the three phases of her trainer career: beginner, experienced, and elite. In the beginning, she wore a mesh top that was one-part black and one-part red with a black jacket (typically unzipped), a choker necklace with an "M" emblem for her name, and black shorts. Over time, her style changed as her time in the world did. She kept to the hoody style, but it progressed into a black hoody with a red hood, a white shirt, and grey pants. Now, in recent years, as she has matured in age and experience and overconfidence, her look represents where she is at. Her current attire consists of a silverish-grey, long-sleeve shirt that is tailored to fit her somewhat curvaceous form now, black slacks that very much show off certain assets of hers that she's damn proud of, and a red scarf. She also wears a pair of the latest headphones that was developed to work with her PokeGear.

🔥 At just fifteen, after the Silver Conference trophy escaped her grasp thanks to a certain dragon master named Lance, she received an offer to join the Sinnoh Elite Four, being dubbed "Lava Queen", a title she proudly boasts even to this day.
🔥 After three years with the Elite Four, just a few days shy of her nineteenth birthday, Miki stepped down from her position as #4 in the Sinnoh Elite Four, citing "career opportunities"
🔥 Truth was, she received an offer she couldn't refuse.

        p o k e m o n  t e a m        
Blitz
Species Shiny Luxray
Gender Male
Ability Intimidate - Blitz's fierce demeanor often makes lesser Pokemon tremble in his presence and makes those equal to its strength match his.
Move Set Thunderbolt, Volt Tackle, Electric Terrain, Night Slash, Roar, Double Team, Agility
Body Type: Quadruped body
Personality: Quick-tempered, adamant, and boastful, Blitz exemplifies what it means to be part of Miki's team because of his confidence. As the oldest and undoubtedly her signature pokemon, Blitz is the most like his master out of all of them. He is quick to anger and is fiercely protective over Miki. Static flares along its body whenever it senses even a hint of danger approaching Miki. BLitz has a longstanding, mostly-friendly rivalry with Sly, Miki's Zoroark for whom he frequently battles for fun (during downtime, of course)

Sly
Species Zoroark
Gender Male
Ability Illusion - Sly's ability to move between pokeball and released creates a bait and switch style of fighting that Miki has mastered with him.
Move Set Nasty Plot, Dark Pulse, Flamethrower, Sludge Bomb, Shadow Claw, Taunt, Revenge
Body Type: Bipedal - tailed form
Personality: Sly is as mischievous as they come. Whether it comes to battle by teasing and mocking opponents to the point of genuinely upsetting them or tormenting those on the team, Sly is a master of causing trouble. He'll mess with Rex's private time, which almost always leads to a confrontation between the two.

Amber
Species Charizard
Gender Female
Ability Blaze - In battle, Amber's body gains a subtle red aura that enhances its capabilities, but specifically her fire-type moves.
Solar Power - When specifically using Sunny Day, Amber will have an increase in overall fighting power for a limited time, leading to a burst of strength that will eventually have a drawback cooldown time.
Move Set Sunny Day, Fire Blast, Seismic Toss, Hurricane, Fire Punch, Flare Blitz, Dragon Dance
Body Type: Bipedal - tailed form
Personality: It's almost a universal trait among Charizards that they must give their trainers sass because nobody on Miki's team challenges her authority (to a point) like Amber does. It's nothing that Miki can't handle, but whenever she gives Amber a command, the Charizard taunts and mocks her (to a point), often leading to a clash before she stops having fun and obey's Miki's command. That is just to get her own entertainment. Deep down, Amber loves Miki and respects her strength. How else would Miki get the sass machine to obey her?

Ebony
Species Houndoom
Gender Female
Ability Flash Fire - Ebony has a high resistance to fire-type moves and, for a time upon activation, will have an immunity to fire-type moves.
Move Set Fire Fang, Take Down, Swagger, Feint Attack, Protect, Double Edge, Iron Tail
Body Type: Quadruped - tailed form
Personality: Despite outward appearances, Ebony is actually quite friendly. And not just with Miki, but with anyone who approaches her. She is easily the friendliest member of the team aside from Rex, which stands to reason and why they are often seen playing/napping near each other. Ebony is overwhelmingly lazy and seldom wants to train or fight if she doesn't have to. She shares the common trait among Miki's pokemon of being fiercely loyal and protective over their trainer, so if any danger presents itself, she will fight and will live up to the Houndoom that she is.

Chompy
Species Sharpedo
Gender Female
Ability Rough Skin - Typically, this ability will make it to where anyone touching Chompy will be cut, but that's not exactly true. It only hurts those who Chompy perceives as a threat or who may be an enemy of Miki's.
Move Set Crunch, Take Down, Rain Dance, Payback, Hydro Pump, Aqua Jet, Focus Energy
Body Type: Fins
Personality: Chompy is...an interesting case. It's very childish and maybe even a bit too excitable. Being her only water pokemon and only means crossing the seas, Chompy doesn't have the benefit of being able to roam freely with Miki when she's traveling the roads, so whenever she gets the chance, she lives it up. She loves seeing the sites, roaming the seas, and just lives for the moment. This can cause some headaches for Miki and it typically takes a few stern commands to get Chompy back on track, especially when she's riding on Chompy's back or is being pulled by her. All in all, though, Chompy just has an energetic demeanor and Miki tries not to ruin her parade if she can help it.

Rex
Species Tyranitar
Gender Male
Ability Sand Stream - On battle, every time it is called upon, it summons a sandstorm. However, when off battle, sometimes Rex just needs his privacy, so he'll surround a five feet radius around him in a sandsphere and hell be damned to those who enter it without his permission.
Move Set Stone Edge, Hyper Beam, Dynamic Punch, Sandstorm, Brutal Swing, Focus Energy, Dig
Body Type: Bipedal - tailed form
Nature: You wouldn't believe it by looking at him, but Rex is actually shy. Dates back to when Miki found him injured after the silver conference. Beaten and abused by unknown assailants, a rare soft spot from Miki took a liking to him and it to her. As a Larvitar, he shied away from her more assertive pokemon and even now he still does but it takes the form of more being a loner and enjoying his solitude. Rex is also very well behaved despite outward appearances. His best friend is Ebony and they often play/spar whenever they are out of their pokeballs, which happens often since Miki doesn't like to keep them restrained.

Melissa Elliott

        a g e        
20

        g e n d e r        
Cisfemale || She/Her

        t r a i n e r  c l a s s        
Ace Trainer || Formerly Champion of Alola

        h o m e t o w n  &  r e g i o n  o f  o r i g i n        
Snowpoint City, Sinnoh


        a p p e a r a n c e        
When she was just starting out as a Pokémon trainer, Melissa leaned hard into the cute studious schoolgirl image, trying to lull opponents into a false sense of security. Surely the little snow angel wouldn't pose much of a threat to the established leaders around the Sinnoh region. She was too small, the hair was set too properly, she looked like she could barely handle model trains, let alone Pokémon training. It was when those fuschia-tinted eyes hardened a smirk spread across her face that the angel quickly became the devil to those on the other side. They learned soon enough that the little blonde girl was a force to be reckoned with. She's not so little anymore, standing at 5'8" with a body that's been fine-tuned hiking mountains around the globe, so she can't take anyone by surprise anymore.

She has adapted her fashion as she's gotten older and traveled the world, shedding her schoolgirl image for something more adaptable for travel. She alternates between a relatively heavy black coat with a thick white scarf and sky blue winter boots in colder climates, and a light pink t-shirt and beige shorts in warmer climates as her primary outfits. However, she is confident enough to pull off any type of outfit she needs, from the formal attire in ballrooms of Kalos to the comfort-driven clothes for the rougher terrain of Hoenn. The one constant in her style is her perpetually uncovered blonde hair and the brown headband that contains the Key Stone she uses when she activates Jolie's Mawilite. She is known for her makeup abilites, particularly her use of glitter for that snow-crystal shine on her skin. It's rumored she has a couple of tattoos she's been hiding, but no one has been able to confirm anything.


        p e r s o n a l i t y        
❄️  Graceful
❄️  Confident
❄️  Generous
❄️  Ego the size of Mount Coronet
❄️  Control Freak
❄️  Stubborn and unwilling to accept outside help
❄️  Spiteful as frigid hell
❄️  100% that bitch

        r e c e n t  h i s t o r y        
❄️ Born and raised in Snowpoint City to a Sinnoan mother and Kalosian father. Her father was a traveller who found work as a Gym Trainer under Candice and her mother was a curator at the Snowpoint Temple.
❄️ Melissa took more after her father and aimed to be one of the best trainers in the world, studying dilligently. However, her father left when Melissa was eight after a disagreement with Candice over Mega evolution, and took his Mega Abomasnow with him.❄️ Her mother, Jessica, gave Melissa her first Pokémon when she was 10, a young Snorunt that was among the pack that hung out outside their house looking for berries. Yuki has been by her side ever since, and the day she evolved into Froslass was one of the happiest of Melissa's life.
❄️ Aside from the vendetta she swore against Candice for supposedly chasing her father away, she has had one main rival in her quest to climb to the highest heights of Pokémon battling. Miki freaking Park. No matter where she went, the little black-and-red edgelord always seemed to be a thorn in her side.
❄️ Melissa proved herself a quick study when it came to Pokémon training, even with Candice refusing to battle her when she was just starting out. She and Yuki were able to set off from Snowpoint and quickly build up a roster capable of showing what a spectacle a true force of frozen fury could be. ❄️ After a promising 2nd place showing in Sinnoh, and a 4th in Hoenn, she had a disgraceful DQ in the Indigo League which the blame in her eyes laid solely on the head of Miki Park.
❄️ Embarrassed, she retreated halfway around the world to the land of her father, placing 3rd in Kalos. Finally, the Queen of Ice gained her crown in a fateful stint in Alola, where the blonde was crowned champion of the fledgling league.
❄️ Invited to stay on as a permanent Champion, Melissa took up residence in the region, splitting her time between her home in Malie City and Mount Lanakila, where the battles were held. Given the lack of a powerhouse Ice trainer in the region, and with the Fairy expert more inclined to doodle around, she became the dominant trainer and respected force in both types.
❄️ However, after two years, she has temporarily left her position to due to dueling fatigue, or so her announcement said. In reality, she had some unfinished business to take care of.

        p o k e m o n  t e a m        
Yuki
Species Froslass
Gender Female
Ability Snow Cloak - When Yuki is surrounded by hailing conditions, she is able use the snow to evade attacks with ease and launch surprise attacks.
Move Set Hail, Will-O-Wisp, Aurora Veil, Avalanche, Shadow Ball, Crunch, Draining Kiss
Body Type: A Head and arms, although her torso is elegant.
Personality: The longest-serving member of Melissa's team, Yuki has seen it all with her young trainer. As a Snorunt, she was mischievous, stealing food from the Elliott's backyard and hurling snowballs at windows when none was to be found. She has matured alongside Melissa though, and now fulfills the mom role on the squad, doting after her newer teammates and making sure her trainer keeps a cool head when things are heating up. However, if she feels she is wronged, she maintains one of Melissa's nastier traits; an unyielding spite streak. She will hex anything that threatens to disturb her peace.

Juliet
Species Alolan Ninetales
Gender Female
Ability Snow Warning - Juliet doesn't need to summon the snows, for they naturally follow her, cloaking whatever field she enters with a blizzard-like blast.
Snow Cloak - Like Yuki, Juliet moves silently and effortless through the snows, launching attacks and evading attempts to strike back.
Move Set Aurora Veil, Charm, Nasty Plot, Dazzling Gleam, Ice Beam, Psyshock, Solar Beam
Body Type: Quadrupedal
Personality: Acquired in a chance trade during her tour through Kanto (the only good to ultimately come from that sojourn), Juliet has set a high standard as the unifying force on Melissa's team. However, she knows it. Juliet has an ego, and will be quick to snub anything that doesn't meet her standards, be it food or Pokémon. This makes her a gamble for many seeking an Alolan Vulpix of their own, as Juliet is one of the most sought-after breeding options thanks to the training she's recieved. She's produced a few darlings capable of withstanding frozen fury, but she still remains the supreme snow-fox, and she makes sure everyone knows it.

Jolie-Mega Form
Species Mawile
Gender Female
Ability Hyper Cutter - Jolie's attack can not be lowered by any means. She will not be intimated whatsoever.
Huge Power - When the Mawilite is activated, Jolie's offensive abilities double in strength. Two ponytails are better than one.
Move Set Swords Dance, Baton Pass, False Swipe, Sucker Punch, Iron Head, Play Rough, Fire Fang
Body Type: Bipedal - tailless form
Personality: Jolie gets most of the credit for inspiring Melissa's love for Fairy-type Pokémon. Found in Granite Cave, the Sinnoan was drawn to the Steel-type's deceptive nature and felt it fit her style to a tee. Imagine her surprise when Jolie turned out to be not as spiteful as she and Yuki thought! Jolie lives up to her name as a joyful Pokémon, eager to play and battle to her heart's content. She is the soul of the team, keeping everything afloat even in times of trouble. Even though Melissa has shed her own deceptive pretenses, Jolie continues to be a presence that is not to be underestimated.
Extra: Jolie's Mawilite, discovered during Melissa's attempts to track her father down in Kalos, is worn like a headband, similar to that of her trainer. The Pokémon will add assorted leaves, flowers, or whatever she can find as decorations.

Brittany
Species Lapras
Gender Female
Ability Shell Armor - Any hit that makes contact with Brittany will fail to hit a critical spot, instead resulting in normal damage.
Move Set Confuse Ray, Life Dew, Ice Beam, Hydro Pump, Thunderbolt, Body Slam, Dragon Pulse
Body Type: Fins
Personality: Brittany is the second-longest tenured member of the primary squad, having been discovered by Melissa in the waters off of Sunyshore City en route to the Sinnoh Conference. Brittany is very gentle, possibly due to the fact she was a bit smaller than the rest of the Lapras that were gathered in the area at the time. However, she proved invaluable to Melissa as both her primary source of transportation on water, as well as her most versatile attacking option. She can at times lose focus, distracted by a sound that peaks her interest, but she hasn't dumped Melissa in the water in a long time. The bond is strong.

Léa
Species Florges
Gender Female
Ability Flower Veil - When surrounded by flowers, Léa is able to shield herself from status conditions suich as burns and frostbite. However, she is not surrounded by verdant fields often on this team.
Move Set Wish, Misty Terrain, Light Screen, Double Team, Moonblast, Psychic, Petal Dance
Body Type: Head and arms
Personality: Léa is an interesting case given her teammates. The Fairy-type loves flowers and gardens, but after joining the squad during Melissa's Kalos travels, she found out her teammates are not conducive to growing conditions with all their snow flying about. Still, the Florges is a commanding presence and serves her support role very well. She is quick to set up defences and make sure any dragons know how much trouble they are in. She will fuss if her crown of flowers is damaged in any way, and Yuki will still sometimes fling a bit of snow at Léa to get a rise out of her. Léa will usually respond with a toxic stare that the Froslass just laughs off.

Grant
Species Aurorus
Gender Male
Ability Refridgerate - Any move that could be considered normal when used by other Pokémon gets infused with crystals when Grant uses it, making it an Ice-type move and increasing the damage.
Move Set Hail, Thunder Wave, Light Screen, Freeze Dry, Rock Slide, Earthquake, Hyper Beam
Body Type: Quadrupedal
Nature: As the lone male on Melissa's squad, you would think Grant would be an outcast of sorts, but the rest of the team loves the Tundra Pokémon and makes sure he knows how valuable he is. Named after the Cyllage City Gym Leader who tipped Melissa off to the discovery of an Amaura fossil (and may-or-may-not have made a couple trips to Malie City in recent years), Grant is another gentle giant and gets along swimmingly with Brittany despite being terrified of the water. The Ice/Rock type is able to generate bone-chilling temperatures and the changing colors of his sail usually give a good indication of his current emotions; from calm blue to enraged red. Grant's ability to create light shows in the night sky usually serve as a cap to another of Melissa's triumphant turns as champion of Alola.
