Forrest Archer Johnson
Age: 28
History: 
WIP?

Appearance: 
6'6" 260lbs. (1.9812m 117.93kg)
Tanned skin. High muscle/low fat. Mature body/facial hair.
Bold/defined facial structure. Wide brows/nose. Full lips. 
Naturally brown wavy-curly hair with some shades of mahogany-red in the right light. Full shortened beard, relatively unkempt.
Size 16 shoe (EU 49)
36 Waist, 38 Inseam. (EU 46/48)
13 Ring, 16 Thumb.

Family: 
Jeanne Holt – Wife (26)
Jerrek Warden – Son (10)
Elizabeth Joy - Daughter (8)
Rowan Edward - Son (6)
Shelynn Raye - Daughter (4)
Herbert Johnson - Father (50)
Barbara Johnson - Mother (46)

NPCs of Possible Reference: 
Mitchell Honnings – Childhood Friend (28) 
He never knew his father and his mother died in labor. He was taken in by his grandmother, Henrette Honnings, and grew up as the Groundkeeper’s Grandson. He and Forrest were around each other since Forrest arrived in Oldale since Mrs. Honnings and the Johnsons seemed to become quick friends. Mit is much like Forrest’s counterbalance. Where Forrest is cold and calculating, Mit is warm and impulsive.
Caleb Rowes – Maternal Cousin (27) [Deceased] 
Caleb’s relationship with Forrest is much like Mit’s, but  tied through family. Consequently, Forrest, Cal, and Mit become some kind of foolishly unstoppable trio when they get together. Cal has the ruggedness of his cousin but the impulsiveness of his friend. He like to challenge both of them as much as possible to anything and everything. As much as he will talk smack to Forrest and Mit, there has never been a time when he abandoned either of them.
Valoria Johnson – Paternal Cousin (22) 
Valoria is known for her crassness and vulgarity. Her mother, Emily Delisle, is frequently attempting to censor and correct her daughter to become more “ladylike.” She is a fierce battler and has beaten Forrest as much as lost to him. They often don’t battle, because of this, and it has become some kind of ceremony should they face each other. As harsh as she is, she is equally honest and genuine. Her emotions are on her sleeve and she can be quite difficult to handle at times.
Chesley Johnson – Paternal Cousin (20) 
Chesley is one of the youngest among the Johnson-Herris family. Though he is days apart from two other boys, he’s always been closest to Forrest and, by extension, Caleb. Chesley is relatively meek and suffers from low self-esteem, but still finds a way to be cheerful and upbeat. Though he can quickly grow disheartened, he’s forever the optimist and is often seen as naïve. Forrest and Caleb go out of their way to protect and father Chesley, since his father, Harold, died when he was 14. However, there are times when Chesley has rescued the two from unnecessary situations in which they find themselves.

Notable Items: 
- Hunting knife with 16” blade
- Rucksack
- Non-filter cigarettes
- Cigars
- Matchboxes/books
- 2 fold-up tends (singles)
- 2 cocoon sleeping bags

Party:
Shaq'ti (Medicham) 
[Telepathy]
Fighting/Psychic
4'00"|60 lbs.
This was the last Pokemon Forrest obtained. He found a Meditite under some rubble while two Pokemon Trainers were battling nearby. Flygon and Breloom helped save her and she has a stronger connection with them than the others.
Medicham is a surveyor more than anything. Her role is to communicate to her party-mates the current situation at large. Her Psychic and Fighting capabilities aren't proficient enough to cover or cross a field. When she is forced to fight, she takes the defensive and has unbelievable endurance, but her maneuvers are less damaging than the average Medicham.
Default Moves:
Meditate | Confusion | Detect | Endure | Calm Mind | Mind Reader | Recover | Light Screen | Reflect | Barrier | Protect | Teleport
Battling Moves:
Zen Headbutt | Force Palm | Reversal | Psyshock | Psychic | Low Sweep | Drain Punch | Psycho Cut
Occasional Moves:
High Jump Kick | Counter | Focus Blast | Dynamic Punch | Focus Punch | Psystrike

Marionetta (Banette) 
[Infiltrator]
Ghost/Dark
3'05"|23 lbs.
Forrest noticed a Shuppet following him while he was ascending Mt. Pyre. It attempted to scare him a couple times, but always seemed to fail. Eventually it got frustrated enough with Forrest's dismissive attitude and instigated a battle. Once she saw how powerful the Trainer's Pokemon were, she couldn't help but see a greater path in life than her current one. It was also the first time someone didn't run away in fear at the sight of her.
She is very aggressive and cocky. Once hit a couple times, she will get serious. But she enjoys attempting to frighten others, whether in a battle or not. But, it often comes off as goofy to the more-experienced. Still, she is physically strong and relatively quick. She always loses races with Shiftry, but can match him in power. She also relies on evasion and surprise more than brute strength.
Default Moves:
Screech | Night Shade | Shadow Sneak | Will-o-Wisp | Feint Attack | Snatch | Taunt | Double Team | Theif | Astonish | Confuse Ray | Moonlight
Battling Moves:
Knock Off | Hex | Sucker Punch | Shadow Claw | Ominous Wind | Pursuit
Occasional Moves:
Phantom Force | Teleport | Spite | Shadow Ball | Payback | Foul Play
Sacrificial Moves:
Curse | Grudge | Dark Pulse | Destiny Bond

Syressa (Milotic) 
[Wonder Scale*]
Water/Dragon/Fairy
30'1"|702 lbs.
Forrest met a curious Feebas while swimming with Mitchell along Route 119. She was quite smaller than most other Feebas around. It's mother, it seemed, was shunning her as well. Forrest took much pity toward the creature and capture her, knowing she'd find some worth in herself some day.
And Forrest was correct. Milotic rivals Masquerain's contest abilities and has won as many contests as Masquerain. However, unlike Masquerain, Milotic enjoys battling and can easily lose herself in combat. Once she gets riled up enough, which takes much effort, she unleashes all she has and won't even listen to Forrest until she passes out. 
Her specialty lies in defense and support, but has wicked offensive capabilities. These offensive tendencies show themselves when she's lost herself and Forrest no longer has control of her, however.
Field Moves:
Coil | Attract | Safeguard
Default Moves:
Light Screen | Reflect | Protect | Wide Guard | Lucky Chant | Heal Pulse | Wish | Recover | Aqua Ring | Refresh | Wrap | Disarming Voice | Captivate | Crafty Shield
Battle Moves:
Moonblast | Disarming Voice | Aqua Tail | Dragon Tail | Water Pulse | Dragon Pulse | Rain Dance | Brine | Dragon Dance | Dazzling Gleam | Twister | Draining Kiss
Occasional Moves:
Water Spout | Hydro Pump | Confuse Ray | Hypnosis | Dream Eater | Ice Beam | Scald
Sacrificial Moves:
Psychic | Draco Meteor | Dragon Rush

Halcrow (Cacturne) 
[Sand Skin*]
Grass/Dark
4'7"|205 lbs.
As a Cacnea, he followed Forrest and Mitchell around Central Desert for quite some time. He noticed Forrests reluctance to capture the Trapinch and was just as determined to join the young man's team. Forrest just chuckled and tossed a Pokeball. He and Banette get along great and thoroughly enjoy attempting to frighten passers-by.
Cacturne is Forrest's most versatile Pokemon and relies on unexpected attacks and certain attack combinations to overwhelm or surprise his opponents. He and Flygon have yet to lose a battle when working together. None of his skills are particularly amazing, but he lacks in nothing and can change strategies seamlessly.
Field Moves:
Leer | Growth
Default Moves:
Absorb | Leech Seed | Sand Attack | Ingrain | Spikes
Battle Moves:
Revenge | Poison Dart | Needle Arm | Feint Attack | Spiky Shield | Sucker Punch | Pin Missile | Sandstorm | Drain Punch | Mega Drain | Seed Bomb
Occasional Moves:
Energy Ball | Cotton Spore | Grass Knot | Synthesis
Sacrificial Moves:
Destiny Bond | Payback | Solar Beam | Giga Drain

Atligon (Flygon) 
[Sand Rush]
Ground/Dragon
7'02"|247 lbs.
With Trapinch's Arena Trap, Forrest and Nuzleaf were trapped in a battle with him. He proved to be more diligent and proud than either Forrest or Nuzleaf. When both wished to end the battle and pleaded with Trapinch to allow them to escape, he only shook his head and urged them to continue. Forrest just threw a Pokeball in response.
He will always create a Sandstorm when beginning a battle since he knows to move through it well and attack from any angle where the opponent might be unaware. Outside of a Sandstorm, however, his speed is unremarkable. Like Shiftry and Banette, his forte is physical combat, but he knows how to use special maneuvers when pressed.
Default Moves:
Sonicboom | Sand-Attack | Sand Tomb | Supersonic | Screech | Sandstorm
Standard Moves:
Earth Power | Dragon Tail | Dragon Breath | Dragon Claw | Dragon Rush | Dragon Pulse | Wing Attack | Aerial Ace
Occasional Moves:
Earthquake | Draco Meteor | Outrage | Boomburst
Sacrificial Moves:
Fissure

Kagooroom (Breloom) 
[Effect Spore]
Grass/Fighting/Poison
4'04"|107 lbs.
While camping in Petalburg Woods, a Shroomish started to rummage through Forrest's stuff. He tried to shoo it away, but it seemed more concerned about stealing than the fact it was stealing from a Pokemon trainer. He sent out Seedot and Surskit to work their Bubble Bide technique. Night after night Forrest would have to deal with this Shroomish until he was fed up enough to catch it. 
Breloom is the arguably the best, beside Shiftry, with physical offensive strength and, beside Medicham, physical endurance. He's not known to move quickly during battles, but he can counter almost any attack with one of his own. He's as competitive as Banette, but much more personal and reserved about it. When Forrest is asked to help train someone in physical offense or defense, he uses Breloom as an example. Breloom is too proud to perform any absorbing technique, not only because of his poor Special Attack, but because it compromises his endurance, or he thinks it does.
Field Moves:
Stun Spore | Poison Powder | Sleep Powder
Default Moves:
Headbutt | Mach Punch | Force Palm | Sky Uppercut | Seed Bomb | Smog
Standard Moves:
Poison Jab | Cross Poison | Poison Tail
Occasional Moves:
Absorb | Leech Seed | Mega Drain | Drain Punch | Giga Drain | Synthesis | Ingrain | Venoshock
Sacrificial Moves:
Sludge Bomb

Wickengu (Shiftry) 
[Chlorophyll]
Grass/Dark
4'09"|128 lbs.
After a trainer had defeated a Seedot, Forrest saw it crying while a group of its friend attempted to heal it. He offered it an Oran Berry, which is hastily ate. After that, the Seedot followed him around everywhere until it ended up in a Pokeball.
Shiftry combines his speed and accuracy to perform devastating physical blows. However, he's a glass cannon when it comes to combat. Like Breloom, he despises the idea of using Synthesis, but is much more likely to perform it when a battle begins to turn for the worse. Shiftry is one of Forrest's only Pokemon, other than Masquerain, that will concede before being beaten to a pulp. If he can't win by skill and perseverance, he's not going to martyr himself and become a punching bag.
Field Moves:
Harden | Bide | Flail | Growth
Default Moves:
Fake Out | Feint Attack | Extrasensory | Theif | Fling | Sunny Day | Nasty Plot
Standard Moves:
Leaf Blade | Payback | Foul Play | Razor Leaf | Seed Bomb | Quick Attack
Occasional Moves:
Synthesis | Leaf Tornado | Leaf Storm | Extremespeed
Sacrificial Moves:
Dark Pulse

Damselraed (Masquerain)
[Swift Swim]
Bug/Flying/Water
2'02"|7 lbs.
Forrest's mother was teaching a class about catching Pokemon on Route 103. During a lunch break, Forrest wandered into Route 102 without her knowing. He came across a wild Surskit. He snuck up behind it, knowing he didn't have a Pokemon of his own to weaken it, and threw the Pokeball he'd stolen off her desk. Now, they're inseparable.
She is the only Pokemon that cares more for the aesthetics of performance than pure effectiveness. She's certainly developed highly effective methods, but if it doesn't look perfect in her eyes, she's quick to throw a fit. If a Pokemon disrupts her, she makes sure to punish them, and often with ten times the force. She takes pride in her beauty and wishes Forrest would perform in more Coordinator Competitions.
Field Moves:
Sweet Scent | Gust | Tackle | Bubble
Default Moves:
Quiver Dance | Whirlwind | Quick Attack | Scary Face | String Shot | Rain Dance | Aqua Ring | Reflect | Light Screen | Agility | Double Team
Standard Moves:
Bug Buzz | Bubblebeam | Air Cutter | Air Slash | Aerial Ace | Signal Beam | Water Pulse | Aqua Jet
Occasional Moves:
Hydro Pump | Glare | Hurricane
Sacrificial Moves:
Water Spout


Franklin Broadson
Age: 36
History: He has referred to himself as "Broadson" since he made the ranks of the Marine Rangers at the age of 16. However, his parents have always called him "Frankie." None now dare to call him such, and most don't even know his first name. Sergeant Broadson is a man of driven purpose and deep determination. Frankie is a boy who worked as a fisherman's son and who knew joy and freedom. 

Franklin Broadson was born during the Wet Season on the island of Dewford. His parents, Martin and Theresa, were subsistence farmers. Martin worked the small dinghies and nets while Theresa perfected her needlework and tailoring. Franklin never had fashionable clothes, but they were always handmade by his mother. They were usually highly practical with helping his father upon the shores catching Remoraid, Finneon, Goldeen, Corphish, Krabby, and Clauncher. 

Broadson is the eldest of three. His sister, Asurelia, was born just a year after himself. His youngest sister was born two years later as Melioda. Melioda looked up to Frankie and depended on him for the smallest of tasks. Asurelia was fascinated with the sea and took much more after her father than Broadson even did.

He had little schooling and never pursued training. He believed his place was at home to help provide for his family. They weren't in poverty, managing to trade for what they needed, but they never had the fancy gadgets of the Fairfax Association. There was never any strong envy of others. It was more of a disappointment that his experiences were stunted due to his responsibilities even as a small child. 

He was reluctant to leave his family when the Rangers discovered his athleticism and diligence along the shore of Dewford. His parents urged him to pursue something other than what little they could provide for him. They knew he wanted adventure, or just something more than the life of a subsistence farmer. 

He was 12 at the time, the youngest the Rangers had recruited at the time. He even trained with the other Marine Rangers, despite only being a student. It was clear his talents were in physical ability rather than mental. They accepted this but pushed him to improve his studies to round out his abilities and immense usefulness to the Rangers as a whole. 

At 16, he was promoted to Corporal, skipping the rank of Area Ranger. Though still a cadet in most Rangers' eyes, he was proficient in his training and effective on each mission on which he was dispatched. However, his "successes" didn't come without immense hardship. His body is now literally scarred from these missions that were above his age and experience. The Grand Colonel was eyeing this boy to be his successor, however.

After ten long years of, what seemed to be, trial and error, he was finally promoted to the rank of Sergeant, where he is currently. And though he's always been stationed on Dewford, since that is where the Marine Base resides, Broadson doesn't spend much, if any, time at home. Because he takes his job so seriously, he believes that the work of a Ranger comes before any individual since their aim is to protect the well-being of all.

He usually only gained the cooperation of a Pokemon during missions. A Tirtouga ended up remaining by his side after a particularly difficult mission in Mossdeep City and Shoal Cave. They became inseparable after a bout against Sealeo and Walrein who were destroying the ecosystem of the area.

Bio

This is currently a Work in Progress and will be edited heavily as the week continues.


Eloise “Ellie” Fenmar
Braveheart, Forest Stalker, Lady Knight

Age:
26

Ranger Divison & Rank:
Gale Ranger – Sentry 

History:
Growing up as the eldest child of her family in the bustling city of Lumiose in the Kalos region was difficult, to say the least. Her parents relied heavily on Eloise from the time she was very young to help take care of her two younger siblings as they were constantly at work running a popular hotel called “The Lotad's Pad”. Their hotel saw many tourists as well as locals staying, and the constant influx of customers caused them to neglect their children, for the larger part.

Eloise performed her sisterly tasks begrudgingly and always felt trapped within the confines of her parent's expectations. She would daydream of going to a far off land, and those dreams were fueled by the steady stream of tales that the customers would supply her with. She found fascination with ancient ruins and fossils especially. It was because of one such tale that Eloise's life would change forever.

A particularly suspicious man had come to stay which caused some distress for her parents. They didn't want him there, but couldn't remove him from the hotel for some reason. They warned all of their children to stay away from him during his stay. Eloise wanted to find out why, and heard them discussing him being in a “Team” of some sort. Due to her rebellious nature at the young age of fourteen, she disobeyed them and went in secret to talk to the shady man. 

His tales were marvelous and grew more alluring by the day. He played it smart and would also ask her how she felt or what she thought, and used this knowledge to manipulate her. With a promise to take her away on an adventure, he convinced her to steal a large sum of money from her family and meet her in an alleyway near the hotel. 

Her younger sister, Violet, noticed that something was happening and followed Eloise to the meeting spot. Violet stepped in to stop him from taking the money, but in response the man brought out his Scyther. Eloise tried to protect Violet, but to no avail. Scyther slashed her across the left side of her face, and she dropped to the cobblestones below in agony.

The man then proceeded to use Scyther to assault Violet, and though she put up a valiant fight with her Pokemon, Happiny and Lotad, she was fatally wounded in the scuffle. By the time Eloise was able to struggle through the pain and reach her sister who lay bleeding, it was too late. With the last of her strength before she died, Violet had Eloise promise to take care of her Pokemon.

The events of the day left Eloise deeply scarred. Her left eye missing was but a scratch compared to the gaping wound of knowing that Violet had died because of her. It changed her personality entirely, from the young daydreamer who always wanted to escape from her responsibilities, to an eerily quiet young girl with a mission. She would catch the man who did this, and she would kill him. The issue was figuring out how she would go about it.

It wasn't long before she determined that joining the Rangers would be her best bet. She would be free to explore, as her sister dreamed of doing with her Happiny and Lotad, but she would be able to hunt down the bastard who did this with the law backing her. Better yet, she would be capable of killing him with the training the Rangers provided, although perhaps the law would not back that venture. It did not matter. And she would make it her duty to hunt down the other sons of bitches who were in “Teams” and stop them from ruining other people's lives. 

The only challenge was getting her own Pokemon, which was a journey in and of itself. She ended up being saved by the Noibat who would eventually become her faithful partner. Together, they went into the Rangers. Their training was intense, but Eloise thrived. Her drive pushed her ever forward, and her Noibat, Aragorn, was just as intense as she was.

During her long missions to the far reaches of Kalos, she ended up acquiring her unusual style of dress from a castle-town called Aegisholme, located in the mountains near Frost Cavern. There she met a man who taught her how to use what would later become her signature weapon, a longsword she named in memory of her dead sister. After returning back to the Ranger HQ in Kalos, she had to convince them to accept her style of dress and her weapon, which they did reluctantly. 

She made a name for herself through the years for her dutiful service, but her shining glory was when she successfully took down a minor league Team who was stealing from the sick and elderly in Calanthe Town. However, this heralded an end to her journey in Kalos and she was formally reassigned to Hoenn to help take care of this “Team Zodiac” who had been ravaging the region. 

She couldn't be happier to oblige.

Appearance:
Eloise stands at a stout height of 5'2'' (159cm), and weighs around 145lbs (66kg), which is primarily muscle. Her shoulder length auburn-colored hair is a mess of unruly waves which curl towards the ends, framing her face like a Pyroar's mane. On her slender, oval shaped face rests a pair of thin lips below a strong nose. Her right eye is light amber in color and she wears an eye patch over her presumably missing left eye. An old scar can be seen poking out from the top and bottom of the eye patch at an angle.

Her attire is extremely eccentric for this day and age, and she sports a dark gray cloak with fur adorning the top. She has a highly polished breastplate over a long tunic of nearly the same color as her cloak, and dark brown pants tucked into tall leather heeled boots. At her waist rests a particularly long sword with two-handed hilt. She is rarely seen without all of her eccentric gear on, but wears a form-fitting black body suit underneath her ridiculous get up. Despite all of her backward eccentricity, she has a Trainer Gauntlet equipped on her left arm.

Family:
Living:
Nicole Fenmar – Mother (57)
Nicole is a cunning and extremely focused businesswoman. However, after Violet's death, she began to devote more time to being a mother. She checks up on Eloise from time to time, teasing her about her current relationship status and telling her to get married.

Louis “Louie” Fenmar – Father (54)
Louis is a very genial and patient man who takes care of the customer relations portion of his and his wife's bed & breakfast business. He's an excellent cook, and generally spent more time with his children than his wife as they were growing up. He and Eloise have a good relationship, but one of simple understanding. He leaves her to her business, and she visits at least once a year.

Nathaniel “Nate” Fenmar – Brother (19)
Nathaniel's relationship with Eloise is strained at best. He heavily blames Eloise for Violet's death, and he's never forgiven her for her mistakes. He's taken it upon himself to find Violet's murderer, and deals with shadier folk while doing so.

Deceased:
Violet “Vi” Fenmar – Sister (11)
Violet was a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day, but could also be a brat and a tattletale at times and it drove Eloise crazy. Violet had a strong sense of right and wrong. She was an aspiring Pokemon Trainer and took very good care of her Happiny and Lotad. She also had a passion for writing, evidenced when Eloise found her journals after her death.

Possible NPCs of Reference:
Aristotle Vaynegard – Mentor (63)
He is a resident of the secluded mountain town, Aegisholme, and the man who taught Eloise everything she needed to know about swordsmanship. It is because of him that she dresses the way she does as well. He is thought to be by many in the area the best swordsman in Kalos, and is a highly respected member of the Council who oversees Aegisholme. 

Erik Falston – Ranger (29)
He's one of Eloise's only friends in the Rangers, and an Air Ranger. Erik is somewhat sarcastic and playful, but charming nonetheless with a penchant for hitting on the ladies. He was reassigned to Hoenn before Eloise, and has gone missing since. Eloise will find him, or find out what happened to him, no matter what.

Notable Items:
– Longsword 47'' (120cm) in length, including hilt. 
– A fold up tent (single)
– Rucksack with cooking implements
– Grappling hook

Party:
Aragorn (Noivern) [ Gale Winds ]
Flying/Dragon
5'4'' (1.6m)   |   201 lbs (91kg)
Eloise came stumbling into the cave where he lived with a hive of Beedrill in tow. They were going to attack her, but noticed Noibat eggs in the cave so they diverted their attention to them. Eloise stood between the Beedrill and the eggs, refusing to let them hurt the unborn Pokemon. It was this bravery that caught Aragorn's eye, and he saved her and the eggs from the Beedrill along with his siblings. He decided to join her on her quest. Over the years, he has become exceedingly protective of Eloise. 

He is a rapscallion through and through, and loves to play with his prey during a fight. He can and will get serious if Eloise tells him to, but usually she leaves him to his own devices during any battle they come across. During battle, he tries to keep himself out of the line of fire and light on his feet, so to speak.

He stands several inches above other Noivern, making him a rather imposing figure. He has scars from battles across his wings. 
Type: Normal
Official Effect: Sharply lowers opponent's Defense.

RP Effect: Screech can be adjusted in volume, from an ear-piercingly loud noise that wreaks havoc on the ears, to a sound that Aragorn can cause to carry further distances but causes no pain. The pitch that Aragorn can reach will cause nearby fragile glass to shatter (non-reinforced windows, dishes, etc).  He also uses his Screech to communicate with Eloise if need be, and they have set up a crude system for him to report to her if there are Pokemon or people in the area, or if there is an obstacle up ahead. If Aragorn is threatened or angry, he will also use Screech in battle.

Type: Normal
Effect: May induce Confusion.

RP Effect: Supersonic is capable of being used by Aragorn as an extension to “see” his surroundings. It is also capable of being used on Pokemon and people to attack their senses and disorient them. Besides confusing and disorienting, it causes a somewhat uneasy pins and needles feeling upon the opponents it is used on.

Type: Flying
Official Effect: The user lands and rests it's body. It restores the user's HP by up to half of it's max HP.

RP Effect: Aragorn uses Roost every night for sleep, but if he has battled recently he will also need to Roost for awhile. He avoids using it in battle as much as possible, as it grounds him and leaves him vulnerable to attacks he might otherwise be able to avoid.

Type: Flying
Official Effect: The user whips up a turbulent whirlwind that ups the Speed of all party Pokemon.

RP Effect: Aragorn takes off like a rocket, leaving a Tailwind behind him that flows with his movements. He primarily uses this to soar high in the skies to scout ahead for Eloise. In battle, he uses it to swoop down near Pokemon to buffet them with a headwind that may cause them to stumble.

Type: Normal (Possibly Flying typing as well?)
Official Effect: The foe is blown away, to be replaced by another Pokemon in its party. In the wild, the battle ends.
 
RP Effect: Aragorn can use Whirlwind to make the battlefield rougher terrain for the Pokemon in it for a short while, and those who fall into the strong currents of wind are thrown around chaotically. His larger-than-average wingspan and size makes the Whirlwind he creates larger and stronger. Pokemon who are heavier may not be lifted in the winds, as well as those able to remove themselves from the situation using other moves.

Type: Dark
Official Effect: The user sharpens its claws to boost its Attack and Accuracy.

RP Effect: Aragorn hones his claws every day ritually, but he will hone them again before every battle, as well as when he needs them sharpened in order to tear through obstacles. If he is capable of doing so, he will find opportunities during battle to use Hone Claws in order to continue his hard-hitting assault.

A special move created by @Phoenix
Type: Dark

RP Effect: The sun disappears and is replaced by a darkness which casts shadows in which to hide. Increases the power of Dark-type moves. Increases the effectiveness of Moon-based moves. Aragorn will use Midnight in order to create an environment in which he excels in: Darkness. It can slightly impair the sight of other Pokemon who are not adept at seeing in the darkness, making it easier for Aragorn to unleash his attacks more freely.

Type: Fairy
Official Effect: Moonlight restores the user's current HP based on the in the battle. Normal conditions restore ½ total HP, sunny conditions restore ⅔ total HP, and other types of weather restore ¼ total HP.

 
RP Effect: Aragorn's wings and eyes glow as he drinks in the power of Moonlight to heal himself, and it is especially effective if it is night time or if used in conjunction with Midnight. He must sacrifice his stealth for healing, which can be a risky move as it makes him an easier target for his opponents. He can also use this to light up an area for his party to more easily see in the space.


Type: Bug
Official Effect: The user drains the target's blood. The user's HP is restored by half the damage taken by the target.

RP Effect: Aragorn uses this heavily in conjunction with Bite. After successfully Biting, he will Leech Life, draining his opponent of their strength. If he saps enough of their blood, he can cause his opponent to faint from blood loss.

Type: Flying 
Official Effect: A gust of wind is whipped up by wings and launched at the target to inflict damage.

RP Effect: In nearly the same fashion that Aragorn creates Whirlwinds, he creates Gusts by flapping his large wings, except much faster. These quick gusts of wind can knock an opponent back, or make them fall to their feet if unprepared. It is one of his more frequently used attacks.

Type: Dark
Official Effect: The target is bitten with viciously sharp fangs. This may also make the target flinch.

RP Effect: Aragorn pins down his opponent with his size and weight and then Bites viciously, sinking his fangs into them. He almost always uses Leech Life immediately proceeding a successful Bite. If necessary, he can also Bite into his opponent to hold them in place so that they cannot get away from him easily. He uses Bite less frequently because of the risk involved.

Type: Flying
Official Effect: The target is struck with large, imposing wings spread wide to inflict damage.

RP Effect: Aragorn spreads his wings wide and slaps his opponents around with them. He will also use it to block attacks from hitting his body if necessary. It is one of his more versatile and commonly used moves, and is one of the reasons he has so many scars on his wings.

Type: Psychic
Official Effect: The user relaxes and lightens its body to move faster. This sharply raises the Speed stat. 

RP Effect: Aragorn will use Agility when he gets serious or if Eloise tells him to. It requires him to refocus his attention away from the situation and onto his own body. With a powerful mental push, he sets his muscles over their ordinary limit and raises his speed. It can be taxing on Aragorn to use Agility in quick succession, as it drains him mentally.

Type: Dragon
Official Effect: The user slashes the target with huge, sharp claws.

RP Effect: Aragorn tenses his muscles, conserving energy in them before he unleashes a raking attack with his massive claws. This momentary delay is what makes him less prone to using it unless his opponent is incapacitated in some fashion. He uses it in combination with Supersonic, Whirlwind, or if he's pinned down an opponent with Dragon Rush and is unable to Bite them for some reason.

Type: Normal
Official Effect: By moving rapidly, the user makes illusory copies of itself to raise its evasiveness.

RP Effect: Aragorn begins to vibrate his body rapidly as he attacks his opponent, sparking two copies of himself that mimic his movements with almost near perfection in order to make it harder for his opponent to dodge his real attack. He will also use it in order to intimidate his foes, and is an opening move for him. The copies last for short while before dissipating. Because of the strain on his body by vibrating at that speed, he only uses it a couple of times during battle.

Type: Normal
Official Effect: The user attacks the target with an echoing voice. If this move is used every turn, it does greater damage. 

RP Effect: Aragorn's voice carries with an unearthly timbre that seems to reverberate throughout the battlefield. The longer Aragorn does it, the greater the intensity of the reverberations. The effect is maddening if prolonged. It is a move he uses when he's unable to get close to his opponent, or if he needs to flush his opponent out from hiding.

Type: Flying
Official Effect: The user nimbly strikes the target. If the user is not holding an item, this attack inflicts massive damage. 

RP Effect: Aragorn closes in on his opponent and strikes them with his wings, feet, tail, or claws, aiming for the vital points on their body in order to inflict damage. It is an attack that brings him in close and out fast, which makes it one of his more commonly used moves against opponents.

Type: Dark
Official Effect: An attack move that inflicts double damage if used on a target that is switching out of battle.

RP Effect: Aragorn slinks into the shadows as he pursues his target with a single-minded intensity, inflicting extra damage on them if they are running or switching out of battle. He will typically employ it more so at night when he's at the top of his game, or if he's already used Midnight to influence the battlefield in his favor.

Type: Dark
Official Effect: The target is taunted into a rage that allows it to use only attack moves for three turns.

RP Effect: This is a move Aragorn will use depending on his mood and the tide of the battle. If he feels as if he's doing exceedingly better than his opponent, he will Taunt them with a series of demeaning insults that incite an inexplicable rage within the target. However, if he notices his opponent is outdoing him, he will also Taunt them in order to limit their scope of abilities for a short while. If he and his foe are neck-and-neck, he wont use Taunt as he appreciates the challenge.

Type: Normal
Official Effect: The user attacks the target with a song. Others can join in the Round and make the attack do greater damage. 

RP Effect: Aragorn sings a haunting song that pierces into the heart and mind of his opponents. It is a song he only sings when he is extremely upset, such as when anyone hurts his friends, particularly Eloise. The feeling he leaves those who hear the melody is one of fear.


A special move created by @Phoenix
Type: Normal/Flying

RP Effect: The user tackles the opponent so quickly, a sonic boom is created. This has an independent chance to confuse the user and/or opponent upon impact. He spins himself like a top in order to become more aerodynamic to increase his speed as he rushes toward his opponent. This move does incredible damage but can also hurt Aragorn, which forces him to only use it in cases of desperation.

Type: Dragon
Official Effect: The user tackles the target while exhibiting overwhelming menace. This may also make the target flinch.

RP Effect: Letting out a primal roar, Aragorn rushes his opponent and tries to slam them into the nearest surface (wall, ground, boulder, etc.) with his arms and legs to pin them in place. The hostility of the attack sometimes makes his opponents flinch.

Type: Normal
Official Effect: The user chomps hard on the target with sharp front fangs. This cuts the target's HP in half.

RP Effect: Unlike his regular Bite, Super Fang causes Aragorn's bottom front fangs to extend and harden rapidly. After the growth is complete, they begin to vibrate intensely as they drill into the opponent. Because of the energy required to manipulate his fangs, he only uses this once in a battle on his own, and another time if Eloise commands it. He can also use this to break through hard materials.

Type: Dark
Official Effect: The user slashes the target the instant an opportunity arises. Critical hits land more easily.

RP Effect: Aragorn's claws radiate dark energy as he leaps from the shadows to slash at the opponent's exposed back. Because of the nature of this move, it is most effective when Aragorn is able to stealth around his opponent in the darkness so he uses it at night or in combination with Midnight.

Type: Dark
Official Effect: This move enables the user to attack first. This move fails if the target is not readying an attack. 

RP Effect: Aragorn hits his opponent in the face with a sudden jab, uppercut, or slap of his tail. Aragorn will use this move as a counter, and has to study his opponent's movements and habits during a battle for it to be more successful. For this reason, it is used farther into battle in order to interrupt one of the opponent's nastier moves.

Type: Flying
Official Effect: The user confounds the target with speed, then slashes. This attack never misses.

RP Effect: Aragorn speeds up suddenly, circling around his opponent in an erratic manner as he looks for an opening, then rips into them with his back claws. He can also pick up his opponent if he successfully latches onto them, but only if they are light enough. He will use this in combination with Tailwind and/or Agility to further enhance his speed.

Type: Dark
Official Effect: The user approaches the target disarmingly, then throws a sucker punch. This attack never misses.

RP Effect: (WIP)

Type: Dark
Official Effect: The user stores power, then attacks. If the user moves after the target, this attack's power will be doubled.

RP Effect: Aragorn's body emanates dark energy as he prepares himself to launch a powerful counter-attack. He uses Payback in very special circumstances: When he knows he's losing, or as an opening move against opponents he knows he hates, such as members of a “Team”, or anyone who has hurt Eloise.


Type: Normal
Official Effect: The user attacks everything around it with the destructive power of a terrible, explosive sound.

RP Effect: Aragorn's ears emit an ultrasonic frequency that tears into everything in the area, regardless if they are friend or foe. It is a retaliatory attack that he only uses when separated from the rest of his party to avoid hurting them, or if he's become very angry and is unable to control his rage. The feeling left upon the recipients is akin to Supersonic, except far more intense.

Type: Dragon
Official Effect: The target is attacked with a shock wave generated by the user's gaping mouth.

RP Effect: Aragorn opens his mouth and lets out a rapid pulse of black and purple shock waves in a blast aimed at his opponent. The power of the concentrated shock waves can tear through wood, rock, and metal. Because of the potential to hurt anyone caught in the line of fire, Aragorn will only use this when Eloise gives the go-ahead.

Type: Flying
Official Effect: The user launches razor-like wind to slash the opposing Pokemon. Critical hits land more easily.

RP Effect: Aragorn swings his wings in front of him at such a high speed that he causes the air in front of him to become a razor-sharp projectile that flies towards his opponent's location. It works better the closer he is to his opponent, causing critical damage if it connects.

Type: Flying
Official Effect: The user attacks with a blade of air that slices even the sky. This may also make the target flinch. 

RP Effect: (WIP)

Type: Ghost
Official Effect: The user hurls a shadowy blob at the target. This may also lower the target's Special Defense stat. 

RP Effect: (WIP)

Type: Normal

Halcyon “Hallie” (Blissey) [ Healer ]
Normal/Fairy
4'11'' (1.5m)   |   103.2 lbs (46.8kg)
Hallie was a given to Violet as an egg and was the first Pokemon she received. The two were inseparable, but after Violet's death she saw the intense grief in Violet's sister, Eloise. So, instead of being mad at Eloise, Hallie decided to take care of her no matter what. She often lets herself out of her Pokeball to scold Aragorn and to mend the wounds that her party members have received. She gives off a very motherly air.

Leggiadrous “Dro” (Lombre) [Spongy Body*]
*A special ability created by @Phoenix
Effect: Heals when in the rain. Attack and Defense raise in harsh sunlight, but health is drained. 
Water/Grass
3'11'' (1.2m)   |   71.6 lbs (32.5kg)
Dro was a Lotad who lived in “The Lotad's Pad”, and he was often picked on by the other Lotad. Violet stopped them from harassing Dro several times, chasing away the meaner Lotad. It was during these events that Dro became attached to Violet. After Violet died he despised Eloise, although over the years he has earned a certain sort of respect for her. These days it is a simpatico of necessity. He wants revenge for Violet just as much as Eloise herself does. Even so, he cannot forgive Eloise for her hand in Violet's death.

Bio

Gabrielle Dubois
Name: Gabrielle Genevieve Dubois 
Ri, Gabby, Blonde 1

Age: 19

Appearance
Gabrielle stands at 5'3", slightly taller than her twin Adelaide (though not noticeably). She weighs around 123 lbs. She is of a quite slim build, with subtle curves - not particularly well endowed. Her hair is a blonde-white that you would only expect in young children. Hers, and her twin's, never darkened with age. It is kept to about shoulder length and slightly wavy. Often she keeps it up in two short ponytails. Her eyes are a deep green, contrasting her hair. There are relatively large and a predominant part of her round features.

Clothing wise Ri doesn't always go for what is practically, as she likes to look decent. She is relatively fashionable and is more often than not found wearing a dress of some kind. Her preferred colours are pink, white, black and soft pastel colours. She tends to wear a mixture of these. 

History
Gabrielle was born in Dewford city, a few minutes before her twin sister Adelaide. Her  mother was a breeder and her father a trainer who never made it particularly far. Gabrielle and her twin were only one year old when their father disappeared out of the blue, abandoning them and their mother.

Their mother, Aurelia, made the decision to move to Verdanturf town and start over there - though she continued to be a pokemon breeder, raising a small farm of Pokemon and often giving them to people looking for their first pokemon. Gabrielle herself was never particularly interested in pokemon and spent a lot of her time thinking about clothes and drawing. She did get on very well with her more practical sister, however, and went along with her wishes to play with the younger pokemon at the farm.

When Gabrielle was 4 her mother remarried, and she was 9 when her first sibling was born. Gabrielle was more than happy to have a new father and grew relatively close to him - he was far more of a father to her than her biological dad. She was also happy to have more younger siblings but would never be closer to them than her twin.

Gabrielle's twin got her first pokemon at 11. Gabrielle was also offered the choice but declined it - she didn't want to leave home and go on a journey to beat gym leaders. She wasn't interested in any of that. While she found contests amazing to watch on TV she wasn't fond of the idea of becoming one. Her twin decided to not actually leave home yet. She didn't want to leave Gabrielle behind.

It was a few years later, when her sister already had and was training two pokemon, that Gabrielle met Aster. He was injured in grass near where she was walking with her sister. Unable to leave the small pokemon there Gabrielle took him in and nursed him back to help. They bonded over this. She decided that she would, after all, try to become a top coordinator. However it still took two more years for Adelaide to convince her to leave home. In these years Gabrielle trained with Aster, learning how to become a coordinator.

Since then Gabrielle travelled with Adelaide around Hoenn. Her twin was challenging gym leaders, and often failing, and she participated in contest. The two of them slowly developed their individual skill sets. Gabrielle preferred staying in hotels and the like whereas Adelaide was always for wild camping. They did a mix of both. 

When they were both 17, Gabrielle was beginning to gain some success in contests and Adelaide had beaten a lot more gym leaders with the championship in mind. However their mother's health took a turn for the worst and the two hurried home to help look after her, and their two younger siblings. She is only just recovering now and the two finally have a chance to set out and follow their dreams. In the same time their father tried to contact them, with promises of something good if they travelled to meet him. However both twins decided against it (Adelaide more reluctantly).

Gabrielle is worried, however, that things might be more dangerous travelling about. Still she is sure everything will be fine if her and Adelaide stick together.

Family
Aurelia Kidd (née Dubois) - Mother (42)
A kind and caring mother, though she has a somewhat dark past she hasn't shared with her daughters. She has always tried her best to be the mother that Gabrielle and Adelaide need and as a result they look up to her, and respect her.

Matthew Brooke - Biological Father (47)
An absent father, who abandoned Gabrielle's mother when the twins were only a year old. Gabrielle dislikes her father though he has recently tried to reach out to his daughters. He is a somewhat manipulative person, and uses others to his own end.

Adelaide Dubois - Twin Sister (19)
Gabrielle and Adelaide share a close bond. Adi is often the one that keeps Ri out of trouble and generally prevents her from messing up while travelling around. The two have always been close and that's unlikely to change.

Jacob Kidd - Step Father (43)
A kind man, who used to be a top trainer but now has settled down into family life. Gabrielle gets on well enough with him - he is more of a father to her than her real father is.

Ryan Kidd - Half-brother (10)
Ryan is a bit of a nuisance to Ri, always causing trouble and thinking he's the top of the world. Still, he could be much worse. And he is only a kid.

Emily Kidd - Half-sister (8)
Emily isn't as annoying as her brother, Ryan, but still can be. Gabrielle dotes on her a bit due to her aspirations to also become a coordinator and her love for fashion.

Notable NPCs
Willow Kidd - Tutor (38)
The sister of Gabrielle's step father, and basically her aunt, Willow is a top coordinator. She helped Gabrielle learn how to train her pokemon to compete and contests and they share a close bond.

Susannah Den Heijer - Rival / Friend (20)
Though Gabrielle didn't make any close friends through childhood Susannah is one of the ones she remembers the most. This is mostly due to the fact she has also gone on to be a coordinator, meaning that they are in direct competition with each other.

Notable Items
Sleeping bag
Bag
Some travel supplies
Sewing kit
Far too many sets of outfits

Aster  | Vivillon (Garden Pattern) | Male | Ability: Friend Guard |
Flying / Bug
3'11" | 37.4lbs

Gabrielle's first pokemon, and the one she shares the strongest bond with. When younger Ri didn't have much of a passion to become a trainer of any sort until she met Aster. She was out for a short walk with her sister, who had only just got her first pokemon, when she spotted a small scatterbug injured in the grass. She decided to take him in and nursed the scatterbug back to health. The two bonded, and scatterbug decided to stay with Ri.

Aster is a friendly pokemon, and team oriented due to that. A lot of what he does is thinking about the other pokemon in Ri's party and he will often choose to defend them over going on the offensive. Overall as a fighter Aster isn't impressive, but he is fast and beautiful when he flies. There is a definite grace to the way he moves. His main qualities are to move fast and put some kind of effects on the opponent, help his teammates and possibly do a little damage. He always puts a flair to his attacks even if it's a proper battle rather than a contest

Sleep Powder | Poison Powder | Stun Spore | Light Screen | Aromatherapy | Safeguard | Quiver Dance | Protect | Tailwind | Reflect | Silver Wind | String Shot | Air Slash  | Bug Buzz | Hurricane | Draining Kiss | Psybeam | Supersonic | Powder | Acrobatics | Struggle Bug | U-turn | Boomburst | Quick Attack | Signal Beam | Double Team | Giga Drain

Amaryllis  (Alis) | Whimsicott | Female | Ability: Prankster |
Grass / Fairy
2'04" | 14.8lbs
Amaryllis was originally Adelaide's pokemon, but is now in Gabrielle's pokemon. This is due to her general dislike for actual battling. She loved trick other pokemon and goad around them like that and it didn't fit with Adelaide's combat orientated view. She fits much better with Gabrielle.

In terms of battle Alis isn't Gabrielle's first choice, and likes it that way. She will often antagonise the opponents pokemon. She's a very playful pokemon who loves to play pranks of both Ri and the other members of the party. Pretty happy go lucky. She's fast, but not as fast as Aster, and it is rare for her to use a damaging moves, out with of leech seed.

Default Moves:
Cotton Spore | Growth | Fake Tears | Encore | Tickle | Grass Whistle | Flower Shield | Helping Hand | Leech Seed | Moonblast | Energy Ball | Switcheroo | Captivate | Sweet Kiss | Cotton Guard | Sunny Day | Baby-Doll eyes | Disarming Voice | Absorb | Ingrain | Synthesis | Worry Seed

Trillium  (Tril) | Roserade | Female | Ability: Poison Point |
Grass / Poison
2'12" | 31.9lbs
Gabrielle met Tril as a Roselia when having a picnic in a field with her family. At this point she only had Aster. She mistook Tril for a flower and accidentally annoyed the image focused pokemon. After a small battle with Aster, Ri decided to throw a pokeball and was surprised when Tril decided to stay with her.

Tril is something of a stuck up pokemon. She isn't the best team player and to her the most important thing is looking good. She is a better attacker than most of Ri's team, focusing on special attacks, however they must be executed perfectly and look good for her to be satisfied and go through with them.
Default Moves:
Sweet Scent | Venom Drench | Worry Seed | Petal Blizzard | Poison Sting | Magical Leaf | Mega Drain | Toxic | Petal Dance | Bullet Seed | Venoshock | Poison Dart | Synthesis | Spikes | Leaf Storm | Giga Drain | Razor Leaf | Grass Knot | Poison Powder | Toxic Spikes

Quince  | Ninetales | Female | Ability: Flash Fire |
Fire / Psychic
3'08" | 43.8lbs
Gabrielle was given Quince when the Ninetales was just a Vulpix. This was a present from Willow, as a gift for Ri before she set off to become a top coordinator. It took a bit for the two of them to fully bond - Quince was willing to be with Ri but it took her a long time to get close to any trainer. 

Quince is, overall, quite a calm pokemon. She tends to be the one that keeps the others, especially Alis, in line. She works well in teams and is quite friendly with Aster. They are an unusual Ninetales, being more psychic than the rest. As a result they tend to go for more subtle effects, and a lot of their fire attacks reflect this. Like Tril they are very special move based.

Safeguard | Imprison | Will-o-wisp | Grudge | Hypnosis | Dream Eater | Calm Mind | Telekinesis | Inferno | Extrasensory | Hex | Psyshock | Fireblast | Power Swap | Spite | Heat wave | Iron Tail | Rest | Teleport | Flame Charge | Fire Spin | Agility | Magic Coat | Mirror Coat | Psychic | Skill Swap

Silene  | Absol | Female | Ability: Super Luck |
Dark
3'09" | 100lbs
Gabrielle found Silene why she was travelling with her twin sister. They were spending a night in a cave and found a smaller than normal, sickly Absol. After disturbing her Silene tried to attack Ri and Aster, but Ri managed to talk Silene down. Silene is now one of her most loyal pokemon.

Silene has an incredibly loyal streak and will stick by Gabrielle through anything. As a result of this she refuses to back down from any kind of fight even if there is no way she can win. However she is not exactly combat orientated, performing well in contests with Ri. She uses a mix of special and physical moves at an amazing speed and is quite astounding to watch.

Default Moves:
Me First | Double Team | Taunt | Hone Claws | Play Rough | Mean Look | Magic Coat | Night Slash | Sucker Punch | Psycho Cut | Future Sight | Shadow Ball | Knock Off | Perish Song | Razor Wind | Detect | Icy Wind | Feint Attack | Nasty Plot | Punishment |

Rowan  | Lucario | Male | Ability: Justified |
Fighting / Steel
3'12" | 120lbs

Rowan was the last pokemon that Gabrielle got. Like Quince and Alis he was essentially given to her, rather than caught. He was her step-father's but took a liking to Gabrielle one time when she was visiting home. Jacob decided to gift him to Gabrielle. 

Rowan is something of the odd one out in Ri's party. As he was previously the pokemon of a top trainer he is highly combat orientated and doesn't tend to care what his moves look like when he battle. He is very focused on physical attacks, but is also almost as fast as Aster. He is slowly learning to care more about how his attacks look and style.

Adelaide Dubois
Name: Adelaide Gladys Dubois 
Adi, Blonde 2

Age: 19

Adelaide stands just under 5'3", a tad shorter than her twin sister Adelaide. She weighs 124lbs. She has quite a sporty, but slim, build - she enjoys running around with her pokemon and believes in training up herself while training her pokemon. However even through working out and exploring outdoors she hardly has a rugged look - she would be naturally rather petite and there's only so much she can do to get away from that. Her hair is the same odd blonde-white as her twin, thought left much longer and curly. Often it will be tied back so it's out of the way. Her eyes are relatively large and a deep green, slightly darker than her twin's.

Clothing wise Adelaide tends to go with what is more practical. While what she wears can look nice, there will always be a practical element. Skirts or dresses she wears will almost always be relatively short and loose with leggings underneath. She'll wear a scarf if it's cold and similar. She's certainly not as fashionable as her sister is.

Adelaide was born in Dewford city, minute after her twin Gabrielle. At the age of one her father disappeared out of the blue and their mother made the decision to move to Verdanturf. There she continued as a breeder.

Adi always found pokemon amazing. She would spend her time playing with the younger pokemon that were her mother's, constantly begging to get one for herself. As soon as she could walk she ran around with pokemon. When she wasn't doing this she spent time with her shyer, more reserved, twin - looking after her. Even though Adi was close to pokemon, though, she didn't have any friends in Verdanturf - which her sister did have.

She was 4 when her mother remarried. Adi did not dislike Jacob Kidd but she didn't see him as a father. Still, she begged him to teach her how to be a trainer since had had also been one. He indulged her, but only slightly. She was 9 when Ryan was born. Adelaide saw Ryan as someone to follow in her ways - as soon as he was old enough he dragged him out into the fields full of her mother's pokemon and made him participate in tricks she pulled on her family.

Finally when Adi was 11 she was gifted her first pokemon from her mother. This was a torchic who she named Savarin. Her twin was given the same options but didn't want to have a pokemon or leave home. This left Adelaide in a bit of a difficult situation. Her dream was to leave home and become one of the best pokemon trainers, beating all of the gym leaders. But she didn't want to leave Gabrielle behind.  So instead she concentrated on training Sav.

After a few years Adi had already caught another pokemon, Toire, and Sav was now a Combusken. She trained hard every day - she both trained her pokemon and herself, often going on trips around the area of Verdanturf alone. She also got advice from her step father. At this time her twin also caught a pokemon and decided she wanted to become a coordinator. Gabrielle still didn't want to leave home, though.

Unbeknown to her twin in this time Adelaide, and Adelaide only, was contacted by their biological father. After speaking to her mother she decided to take a month long journey to Sinnoh - telling Gabrielle it was for a training camp. It is one of the only times she has lied to her twin. Here Adi only trained more, and bonded with her actual father. Along with this she met Holly, another trainer her age who was something of a trainee to her father. 

The trip was short and it was not long after this when Gabrielle finally decided she was ready to travel around Hoenn region. The two started their journey with Adi spending most of the time ensuring that her twin was safe, and taking charge of the practical elements of it, while challenging gym leaders and mostly failing.

When they were both 17 they began to get more success. Adi had trained her pokemon to a better standard, working well with all of them, and it looked like her dream of reaching the championship was in reach. However their mother's health grew worse and the two had to go home to help look after her. She is now recovering allowing the twins to return to their journey. Their father as also reached out to them, both this time, but they decided not to meet him (Gabrielle more than Adi).

Adelaide is glad she can finally reach her goal of getting to the championship, and is doing all she can to get there.

Aurelia Kidd (née Dubois) - Mother (42)
A kind and caring mother, though she has a somewhat dark past she hasn't shared with her daughters. She has always tried her best to be the mother that Gabrielle and Adelaide need and as a result they look up to her, and respect her. However Adi has always been slightly more rebellious than her twin and she's had her fair share of fights with her mother.

Matthew Brooke - Biological Father (47)
An absent father, who abandoned Gabrielle's mother when the twins were only a year old. Adi doesn't dislike her father anywhere near as much as Gabrielle - after finding out that he was a top trainer in the Sinnoh region. In fact, she has met him (without Ri's knowledge) a few times in Sinnoh. She has a mixed view of him.

Gabrielle Dubois - Twin Sister (19)
Gabrielle and Adelaide share a close bond. Adelaide often keeps Gabrielle out of trouble when their travelling, due to her sister having less of an awareness and more of a dislike for the outdoors. They rarely fight even though they have very different personalities.

Jacob Kidd - Step Father (43)
A kind man, who used to be a top trainer but now has settled down into family life. Adelaide has mixed feelings for him. She doesn't view him as a father, but more as a mentor figure.

Ryan Kidd - Half-brother (10)
Adi gets on surprisingly well with Ryan. The two of them share a fondness for tricks and sports and as a result get on. Adi has caused Ryan to get into all sorts of trouble with his parents. Adi has promised to catch a pokemon for him for when she returns home next.

Emily Kidd - Half-sister (8)
Emily and Adi don't speak much. Emily gets on a lot better with Gabrielle and Adi has never been good with younger girls. However if anyone tried to hurt Emily Adi would probably protect her.

Holly Reiman - Friend (18)
Someone that Adi met when she was in Sinnoh, the two got close in a short period of time. They kept in touch and Holly is making a trip to Hoenn in a near period of time. Adi hopes they can meet.

Shiro Fujioka - Close Friend (20)
Shiro and Adi met when Adi began her journey in Hoenn. They both had very similar goals and bonded over that. They will often battle with each other to see who is the better trainer. Even if they have a bit of a rivalry they're close.

Savarin | 'Sav' | Blaziken | Male | Ability: Speed Boost |
Fire / Fighting
6'02" | 114.4lbs

Sav was Adelaide's first pokemon. Given to her by her mum, a pokemon breeder, when Adelaide was eleven. It took a while for Adi to get used to being a trainer but soon enough the two got close. They work very well together as a team.

Sav is quite a headstrong pokemon, with a love for fighting. He is quite likely to look for a fight and very rarely backs down. In combat he is very orientated in physical moves and tends to disregard everything else in favour of just all out attacking. However there are rare occasions where he works together with Adelaide's other pokemon in a battle. 
Sky Uppercut | Blaze Kick | Flare Blitz | Double Kick | Focus Energy | Quick Attack | Counter | Endure | Feather Dance | Feint | Flame Burst | Low Kick | Fire Punch | Focus Punch | Superpower | Bounce | Slash | Rock Smash (Field Only) | Bulk Up | Jump Kick | F;ame Charge | Ember | Swords Dance

Victoire | 'Toire' | Garchomp | Female | Ability: Rough Skin | 
Dragon / Ground
6'03" | 209.5lbs

Caught by Adelaide as a Gible, Victoire is one of the core pokemon of her teams. Given the nickname meaning Victory for a reason Toire is often the turning point in a battle gone bad. She is an incredibly focused fighter, good at being in sync with other teammates and Adi herself. She is physical attacks orientated but has a good defensive bulk meaning she can take attacks for other, more frail teammates (such as Sav). Toire is fast for a relatively bulky pokemon, too.
Dragon Rush | Crunch | Dual Chop | Take Down | Dragon Rage | Dragon Claw | Dragon Dance | Hone Claws | Dragon Breath | Outrage | Body Slam | Dragon Tail | Earthquake | Sand Attack | Earth Power | Protect | False Swipe | Brick Break

Revenant | 'Rev' | Gengar | Male | Ability: Levitate | 
Ghost  / Poison
4'11" | 89.2 lbs

Caught by Adelaide after trying to spook her and her pokemon, Rev is a trickster at heart. He never seems to take things serious, even when in battle. Of her pokemon he is one that is more likely to back down in a fight he knows he's losing - though he'll remember the pokemon that beat him. Battle wise Gengar is fast and with a focus on special attacks. He rarely uses anything physical - it just doesn't tend to work out.

Nightmare | Dream Eater | Hex | Dark Pulse | Shadow Ball | Confuse Ray | Night Shade | Curse | Lick | Hypnosis | Toxic | Venoshock | Sludge Bomb | Torment | Shadow Claw | Payback | Grudge | Smog | Shadow Sneak

Chance | Ampharos | Male | Ability: Plus |
Electric
4'09" | 135.8lbs

Chance was a pokemon given to Adi by her twin, in exchange for a Whimsicott that couldn't work well with Adi's team. The two have since bonded, and Chance gets on especially well with Adi's Garchomp and also her Dedenne. Chance is a team player first and foremost - but in an all out, glass cannon attacker kind of way. He is a fast, special attacker. Chance is mainly used by Adi when she is battling with two pokemon at once.

Thunder | Cotton Guard | Discharge | Light Screen | Power Gem | Thunder Punch | Electro Ball | Charge | Take Down | Cotton Spore | Thunder Shock | Thunder Wave | Zap Cannon | Magnetic Flux | Ion Deluge | Protect | Thunderbolt | Agility | After You | Magnet Rise |

Luck | Dedenne | Female | Ability: Plus |
Electric / Fairy
0'09" | 5lbs

Probably one of the more odd pokemon on Adelaide's combat orientated team, Luck was a gift from her step-father to help her in beating gym leaders. At first Adi didn't see any of Luck's strength. After a while, however, she realised how easily Luck worked with her other pokemon - especially Chance. Chance and Luck are now especially close, and work basically as partners. Luck also mostly focuses on special attack and speed, like Chance, but with a bit of attack thrown in. Even so Luck is a bit of a lazy pokemon, often found asleep.

Discharge | Thunder | Play Rough | Entraiment | Rest | Nuzzle | Parabolic Charge | Charge | Thunder Shock | Protect | Thunderbolt | Flash | Sleep Talk | Wild Charge | Eerie Impulse | Helping Hand | Covet | Snore |  Magnet Flux | Baby-Doll Eyes | Dazzling Gleam | Disarming Voice | Sweet Kiss

Cosmos | Staraptor | Male | Ability: Reckless |
Normal / Flying
5'05" | 70lbs

Adi caught Cosmos while on a short trip to the Sinnoh region. A proud and somewhat haughty pokemon, it took a long time for Adi to get Cosmos to actually listen to her. Now he is one of the pokemon she knows she can depend on. However he is still proud and is unlikely to back down from a fight. In combat he is very physical attack orientated, often swooping down from the sky to attack.

Take Down | Aerial Ace | Brave Bird | Wing Attack | Quick Attack | Endeavour | Roost | Fly (Field Only) | Feather Dance | Double Edge | Fury Attack | Revenge | Sky Attack | Tailwind | Acrobatics | Drill Peck | Pluck | Mean Look |

Eir | Gallade | Male | Ability: Steadfast |
Psychic  / Fighting
5'03" | 114.5lbs

Adelaide got Eir from her friend Holly, when the two decided to trade. Eir was a Kirlia at that point and Adi gave Holly her Shroomish in return. Eir, surprisingly, made an instant connection with Adi - he saw a lot in her that he liked. As a fighter Eir is physical focused, and fast, though he has not forgotten the special moves he used more as a Kirlia.

Close Combat | Confusion | Teleport | Slash | Swords Dance | Psycho Cut | Feint | False Swipe | Wide Guard | Quick Guard | Low Sweep | Brick Break | Drain Punch | Low Kick | Knock Off | Focus Punch | Zen Headbutt |

Twist | Empoleon | Male | Ability: Torrent |
Water / Steel
5'08" | 186.5lbs

Twist was a gift to Adelaide from her biological father when she went over Sinnoh. Twist often clashes with some of Adelaide's other pokemon - he is full of himself and doesn't work well in teams. However he is slowly getting used to the other members of Adelaide's party. In combat Twist is both a user of special attacks, and good at defending against those kinds.

Hydro Pump | Drill Peck | Mist | Aqua Jet | Swagger | Scald | Surf (Field Only) | Aqua Ring | Hydro Cannon | Iron Defence | Water Pulse |  Mirror Shot | Metal Claw | Water Gun | Soak | Dive (Field Only) | Bubble Beam |

Reine | Weavile | Female | Ability: Pressure |
Dark / Ice
3'05" | 74.1lbs

One of the newer additions to Adelaide's party, Adi caught Reine only recently. Reine is a somewhat vicious and combat oriented. However even with this Reine gets on well with like minded pokemon and as a result gets on with most of Adi's other pokemon. Like many on the party Weavile is also attack based and probably one of the fastest pokemon Adi has. However she is frail.

Dark Pulse | Punishment | Snatch | Night Slash | Screech | Hone Claws | Icy Wind | Nast Plot | Fury Swipes | Assurance | Ice Beam | Torment | Thief | Swords Dance | Snarl | Bite | Cursh Claw | Ice Punch | Ice Shard | Icicle Crash | Fake Out | Pursuit | Foul Play | Beat Up

Vrai | Duosin | Female | Ability: Magic Guard |
Psychic
2'00" | 17.7lbs

Adelaide's second newest pokemon, Vrail is still basically in training. Adi rarely uses her in battles against trainers - and if so she uses her partnered with one of her stronger pokemon. Vrail is easy going and kind, and slowly getting attached to Adi and her other pokemon. Vrail is decent at special attacks, though not as powerful as Chance or Rev. However he is also reasonably defensive and difficult to actually do damage (basically he has high HP).

Future Sight | Psyshock | Endeavour | Charm | Light Screen | Rollout | Reflect | Psywave | Psychic | Calm Mind | Protect | Rest | Psych Up | Trick | Astonish | Helping Hand | Magic Coat | Pain Split

Glace | Amaura | Male | Ability: Refrigerate |
Ice / Rock
4'02" | 55.4lbs

One of the most recent additions to Adi's teams, she considering training Glace and then giving him to her younger brother, Ryan. Glace is a somewhat skittish Amaura who has become very attached to Adi in a short period of time. Scared of other pokemon he likes to hide behind Adelaide most of the time. He rarely participates in combat, and when he does it takes a lot to take him down - he's quite sturdy.

 Newton Natus 
Age:36

History:
Being born and raised in Rustboro city as an ordinary working-class citizen quickly lead Newton to believe that his fate was pretty much sealed from day one. Newton, his Father, his Father's Father and the Father before him all spent their lives in servitude. Slaving away making ethers, potions, pokeballs... you name it and the Natus' family more than likely had a hand in its creation somewhere along the line. Before he was even a fully grown man Newton already felt trapped in a world that he had never chosen to be a part of, just another cog in the unstoppable industrial machine. He'd seen the wealthy and prestigious Fairfax family and everything they had and that's what he wanted, well... Maybe not quite that much. For someone in Newton's position, that low down the ladder, this dream was highly unrealistic, even he knew it. 

Working mindless, never-ending shifts each and every day through eventually made Newton weary. Before long he became slow and unimaginative, unable to dream of a life where he's even anywhere close to matching the Fairfaxes. After his mother's death, Newton decided enough was enough and booked a ticket to Slateport on the first ship he saw - the SS Lightning. It was on the Lightning that Newton had experienced true love for the first time; her name was Michelle, a young serving girl who made him feel alive again. After returning home from his first trip Newton found himself dodging work more frequently so that he could spend time with Michelle. On more than one occasion Newton spent his entire monthly savings on tickets. Tickets he didn't know the destination of until after he'd boarded, so long as Michelle was there it was money well spent in his eyes. 

The day that he got fired for skipping too much work was the same day that the Lightning, for the first time, wasn't in the harbour on schedule. After waiting for over three hours Newton decided to book a room at Rusty's, a quiet but well-known inn off the northern shores of Rustboro. When he turned on the bedroom's television his nightmares became a reality; the Lightning had crashed off the shores of Dewford. Among the long list of fatalities it only took one name to cause Newton to break down - Michelle Fairley; His Michelle. All of those long, passionate conversations that would go on forever with neither smile fading. The secret messages and inconspicuous flirting while she was at work. All of it would come to a crashing halt and it didn't take long for Newton to realise just how boring life would be without her.

With no job, no money and no Michelle he returned home from Rusty's to discover that his house had been repossessed. He had nowhere to live. Newton's previously dependable and caring father was old and senile by this point, taking residency in the local elderly home. Newton knew from this point on he was alone in the world, nobody would remember him or throw a party for him. Yet he didn't care about that anymore, the only thing he had cared about was taken from him.

At first he slept on the streets where the floors were hard and the factories would keep him awake. Then he moved to the woods where bugs would tirelessly harass him and picking the wrong berries to eat could result in death. Eventually he decided he was going to set up camp in the sewers. Nothing would bother him down there there; no noise, no bugs, no people. He didn't mind the sewers so much. It didn't take long for Newton to craft himself a comfortable enough bed out of empty bottles and wood and it was from the sewers that Newton was once again saved from despair. Only this time it wasn't a fellow human being that saved him.

The first time Newton met with Grump, as he took to calling his new friend, Newton thought he was done for - He'd never seen a Pokemon like it, a geletaenous mass of deep purple slime and sludge, wide-eyed and inquisitive it lazily slid towards Newton's makeshift bed. Before he could escape the mass was on him. Slithering, creeping slowly up his leg. Newton could feel the muscles of the blob contracting and relaxing again as it clambered on to his chest, squeezing more air out of him with each movement. At this point Newton pretty much accepted his grisly fate and went with it, there wasn't exactly much to go on living for. 

Then all of a sudden the blob's muscles relaxed, relieving the tension around Newton's chest and laying limply on top of him. When he was like this Grump could be moved and shaped and it didn't take long for Newton to start appreciating the extra warmth the Pokemon would provide. He didn't smell half as bad as he looked either, though Newton couldn't decide if his time in the sewers was affecting his ability to smell.

As his relationship with Grump grew, so did his ability to feel again and before long his creative side was back. The sewer he inhabited was now more of bachelor's pad, with working electricity and a flushing toilet. When he was finally happy with Grump and his new home he decided that his new friend needed some company. The problem was that Newton had never really been interested in Pokemon, truth be told he didn't have the time between working and tinkering. Sure, he used to visit the Gym every once in a blue moon to watch local trainers and travellers alike try their luck against Gaillard and his mighty Slaking but Newton always felt that he wouldn't have the time to properly care for a Pokemon. Yet time proved that Grump seemed happy enough to stick around, he always seemed to be content so long as Newton was near and Newton would grow to feel the same.

So Newton spent a few hours rummaging about in the bins of his old factory, there he would find the necessary parts to make a few pokeballs of his own. Newton's makeshift poke-balls seemed to do the trick just fine. The very first Pokemon he caught was a zigzagoon from route 104, with a dull grey cloak of messy fur it was a mangy looking thing. The beast was defiant at first, it even lunged for Newton but luckily Grump threw himself in the way - Newton was about to realise just what Grump was capable of. 

In an instant the poor sow was covered in mud and sludge. Distressed, she threw a flurry of lightning fast claws at Grump but the amorphous blob seemed to just take every hit as though the beast's razor sharp claws hurt no more than a couple of baby Combee bites. After about ten seconds of glorious mud shower and realising its situation the wild zigzagoon became panicked and without hesitation forcefully smashed her head into the belly of the blob. That was when Newton would learn another of life's many lessons - capturing wild Pokemon wasn't always as glamorous as people liked to make out. 

It happened just as quickly as it began - a bone-shattering crack, followed by the zigzagoon's upper half being released from Grump's clutch, he must have squeezed pretty hard for the struggling pup to go limp just like that. The poor thing lay their still as Grump slimed back towards the feet of Newton. Without a second thought Newton launched one of his makeshift poke-balls at the downed foe and the Pokemon was caught. It took a while for Miss Moans, as Newton named his new companion, to forgive Grump, weeks even. Eventually though, the two were inseparable (at least until Grump smelt too bad) and with the sheer delight the Muk expressed at having a Pokemon friend Newton knew his path - he was going to become a Pokemon trainer. 

Newton toyed with the idea of creating his own trainer gauntlet but soon realised the task was beyond his means. He'd have to go back to his home city and get the pesky thing from Gaillard; He'd seen the Rustboro city gym leader in action once or twice but never met the man in person. A man with dark, beige skin and striking black hair that hung to his waist, the complex braided patterns that the gym leader liked to tie into his hair would grow increasingly more intricate each time Newton saw him. He had a friendly face with bold eyebrows as dark as soot and a booming laugh, sometimes Newton could swear that he'd hear Gaillard laughing in his gym from down in the sewers which were located on the other side of the city, though he could never be certain.

Newton's return to Rustboro was met mostly with odd looks, a few of the people he'd seen had known him from his past life. They'd known him as the docile, mundane worker who'd show up to work before any of the rest of them and more times than not he'd end up being the last to leave. That was the Newton they remembered. Still, Newton was for the most part unfazed by what they'd say about him. It was the looks of disgust that they'd give Grump that caused Newton grief, he'd curse them under his breathe for their treatment of him but in the end he knew what he needed to do. Fighting with this lot of inconsiderate sobs wasn't it. 

Gaillard was the first person he met to actually treat Grump with a bit of decency, and it was him who taught Newton that Grump was a Muk. When the gym leader took the two out back to the dumps Newton was, to say the least, offended. It was only when Grump began joyously rummaging through the dumpsters and Gaillard joined in that Newton first felt in awe of the gym leader. Gaillard taught him that beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder, that all Pokemon and people are glorious in their creation alone and to have preconceptions about their behaviour based off of their physical appearance is the way of ignorance.

Acknowledging Grump's defensive nature over Newton, Gaillard gave Newton a gauntlet. The gym leader even admitted it was nice to see an elderly fella starting out on a new adventure. Newton didn't really know what to make of the comment at first but eventually decided the remark seemed innocent enough. The two were roughly the same age and neither of them were turning grey so it was probably meant in jest.

Next, Newton decided it was time to leave the sewers behind and caught a ride north to Fallarbor on the back of a trading galley. The port at Fallarbor was bustling with life but the crowds seemed more agitated than Newton remembered. The Fallarbor he remembered was full of polite, reserved folk; chivalrous men and dainty ladies that would rejoice at the idea of passing trade, Michelle once told him that a warm welcome was always guaranteed at Fallarbor. Yet here people indiscriminately pushed and shoved their way about the docks, everybody seemed busy and utterly without regard for their surroundings. Local shops and houses were either boarded up or in the process of being boarded up and the market looked like more like somewhere you'd go for a fight than to buy some fresh oranges. Fallarbor was changing. 

Newton didn't stay at Fallarbor for long, he overheard rumours about a mysterious gang in operation at Lavaridge and tales of at least two legendary Pokemon that were seen up in the fiery path. Thirsty for adventure Newton immediately made his way towards the commotion, with Grump at his side folks rarely bothered them during their day to day activities and it didn't take long for the duo to reach the pass. Newton didn't typically like letting Miss Moans out of her pokeball as she'd usually find a way to wriggle into Newton's pokeball sack and break apart a few of his creations but even the zigzagoon saw her fair share of freedom along the journey.

When he got to the fiery path there were no legendary Pokemon, at least none that Newton could find. Instead, a rusty old train carriage sat abandoned next to stacks and stacks of iron rail, a peculiar sight. Upon investigation Newton found a briefcase with some indecipherable blueprints inside, he reasoned nobody would need them anymore and put them in his sack. So that the trip wasn't entirely wasted he spent a couple of weeks living in the Rocky Mountains training his Pokemon. Keeping warm in the fiery pass wasn't an issue with the surrounding lavastone, rock that had been heated by the volcano below for hundreds and hundreds of years, and so that's where Newton set up camp. Even at night the pass glowed a dim red, it was truly a magical place.

On day three Newton saw it. The rumours were true - a fiery behemoth roaming about the rocks. It was magnificent. A mane of grey smoke and armoured plates protecting his flanks the Entei stood proudly on four muscular legs, each painted a luxurious coat of deep brown with flickering red streaks. It watched over the great southern pass where the view of Hoenn was spectacular. For three hours it stood, watching over the smaller mountain ranges below.

On the fourth hour Newton grew restless and decided to move a little closer to the fantastic beast, when he did he noticed its eyes were closed, its breathing heavy. It was asleep. But standing up? Newton scuffled through his sack, he could feel the mechanical remains of the poke-balls that Miss Moans had broken, luckily there was one ball left in tact. He threw it, hard and far but it hit the target and the Entei was spirited inside. For the first time since he'd known Grump Newton's companion seemed concerned, scared even. It was only then that he considered the possibility of the great dog escaping. How could he have been so stupid? He looked for an escape route, a way out, he'd spent at least ten minutes climbing to this point. Going back now wasn't an option.

Ting.

Breathing a huge sigh of relief Newton began his approach to the ball containing the legendary Pokemon inside, he'd thrown it a good thirty yards. As he got closer the ball jerked violently away from him and towards the edge of the cliff. Then again, this time back towards the safety of the mountain. When the ball jumped a third time Newton knew he needed to act quick or he'd risk losing his catch one way or another, he preyed it wasn't to the sixty foot drop that loomed opposite him.

'Miss Moans, Go!' 

When she emerged Miss Moans was leaner than ever, her claws longer and her teeth sharper. Newton knew that the Zigzagoon had evolved. Her previously dull, dark and grey fur turned a sea of nightly black with waves of glistening silver streaking through. Seeing the poke-ball darting about the place it wasn't long before Miss Moans caught her prey. She held the ball steadily in place as she scratched and tore at it's outer shell. With a Pokemon inside fighting to get out and a Pokemon outside fighting to get in Newton couldn't believe his luck when the struggle was over and the Pokemon was truly caught. 

The more time they spent in the fiery path the more Grump started to smell odorous, a pungent smell that even for Newton was hard to tolerate. With each passing day the stench grew and grew until even Miss Moans would refuse to leave her pokeball when the Muk was too close. Newton didn't want to risk letting Entei out until he had a replacement ball and didn't much like the idea of travelling without protection so Grump was kept out regardless. 

Newton figured it might've been the volcano's heat that was making Muk's stench worse and so they continued the journey to Lavaridge. It was there that Newton recognised a familiar face; Jonton Fairfax. The Fairfax bastard had left Rustboro a long time ago, Newton had never spoke to the man in person but could recall distant memories of seeing his unpleasant face, a face that was hard to forget. It was when the two were only teenagers attending a few of the Fairfax public appearances, always in the shadow of his brothers, uncanny considering even back then he was nearly the size of both of his brothers combined.

A humongous man, towering above all in his presence, he who shaves his entire head bald, eyebrows too. The behemoth had a gang of about twenty men about him, all wore basic military fatigues, desert camouflage with a silver V printed largely on the back. Newton observed Jonton for a couple of days, he learnt that Jonton was using an unmarked motorised scooter that he was entirely too large for, had a quick temper and that his word was final amongst the pack of dogs that followed him.

The V gang began demanding that the local trainers hand over their gauntlets. For Newton this wasn't a problem, he could throw any valuables he had onto grump who would then suck them into his main mass and spit them back up when Newton demanded. It made avoiding the hooligans easier than making a poke-ball for Newton. Others weren't so lucky though - most gave their gauntlets up after being defeated in battle, some didn't even need a battle to give theirs up and others were physically bullied but in the end Jonton had his way.

One day after following the gang back into the mountains a young trainer by the name of Garret refused to give his gauntlet. This was Jonton revealed his true nature, and his first Pokemon - a Machoke, strong and capable. The Pokemon wasn't quite the size of his monstrosity of a trainer but was an intimidating site nonetheless. The three small caterpies that Garret had claimed were a gift from his grandmother met their grisly fate in the machoke's terrifying, blue clutches. An ugly sight, yet Newton kept watching, silent in the shadows. He knew he couldn't overwhelm the gang alone.

When Garret refused once again to give his gauntlet the Liuetenant showed his true colours. He had the Machoke pin the young man to a nearby rock as he pulled a cleaver the size of his arm from the scooter behind him. Newton wanted to stop it but before he could reveal himself it was too late. Garret let out a howling scream as his gauntlet arm ripped free from his body and lay limply beside him, blood gushed from the wound and soaked the sand red. Garret's screams drowned out what the lieutenant said next, as he spoke he cleaned the blood from his cleaver and put it back onto the scooter. As quickly as it all began the motley crew slipped off into the mountains, following the gigantic shadow cast from the beast atop the scooter and leaving Garret for dead.

Newton had seen his fair share of dismemberment whilst working at the factory and without hesitation began making a small fire. Garret lay in a state of shock, clutching his stump and pretty much ignoring Grump who squelched about sadly near his feet. After cauterising Garret's wound and making a small campsite Newton knew he'd done all he could for the lad, who'd fainted by that point. Once again Newton knew his purpose - he needed to get back to Rustboro and warn Gaillard of what was happening at Lavaridge. He needed more allies and Gaillard would surely be among them.

Appearance:

Newton was always fairly easy to miss in a large crowd, if it wasn't for his carefree choice of clothing he'd be impossible to find. He switched between two equally scruffy variations of brown and black breeches, both were about two sizes too big. On top he'd wear whatever simple, short-sleeved shirt he could find beneath his favourite grey zipper hoody - a gift from Michelle and the only item of clothing he owned that fitted him properly. He always packed light and didn't wash as often as he'd like. All things considered an outsider might describe his attire as resembling a runaway-homeless teenager.

His face is pretty ordinary, he has a wide chin and friendly eyes. His hair is a sandy brown colour with short unruly curls that betray his once perfect hairline. He has an average stature and is appears dirty and scruffy more times than not. Despite this he has good teeth and with a wash and a shave scrubs up quite well.

Family:

Benjen Natus - Father - Rustboro Retirment Centre

Newton visits his father every few months, the two were never really close. Slowly losing his mind it won't be long before he can't remember his own son.

Possible NPCs of reference:

Garret Huntingham - Saved by Newton near Lavaridge town, didn't speak with Newton due to the circumstances but would definately recognise the mysterious man who saved his life if he saw him again.

Hartwin Fairfax - The youngest of four Hartwin is often left with the work otherwise deemed undesirable by his older siblings, factory management was one of these roles. Hartwin was always firm but fair and was unusually supportive of Newton when the Lightning had crashed. He managed to keep Newton on unpaid leave for two months, he hoped that Newton would return to the factory. Hartwin told Newton personally that the Natus family's hard work over the generations was unmatched and even offered a hefty raise but in the end his efforts were futile.

Party:

Grump (Muk) - Putrid Perception: Muk smells increasingly more offensive as he perceives danger.
Poison
4'3" (1.3m) - 140lbs (64kgs)

The first Pokemon ever to catch its trainer. Fiercely protective, loyal and possessive. Will often throw away items picked up by Miss Moans - in Grump's mind whenever Newton isn't spending time with him it's time wasted. That includes when his trainer is tinkering and creating.

In battle he's equally as protective over his allies, Grump would always be throwing himself in the way of projectiles meant for Miss Moans and more times than not just shrug it off. Against quicker Pokemon this strategy didn't work so well, Grump often reacted slowly outside of battle, inside battle he was much the same. A defensive powerhouse who loves nothing more than to make the biggest mess he possibly can. Newton had to hand back the prize money from his first trainer battle after Grump had drenched the opposing trainer's son in sludge, cost the pair a whole day's bug-catching they said. A memory Newton would sooner forget.

Miss Moans (Linoone) Pick Up
Normal
1'1" (0.5m) - 64lbs (31kgs)

When Newton caught a zigzagoon it was mainly to test out if his pokeballs were sturdy enough to survive a beating. Little did he know what a great travelling companion he'd caught. When she isn't rummaging through Newton's sack breaking apart his pokeballs the Linoone wanders about the area picking up various bits and bobs, most of which Newton finds a use for. She tolerates Grump but isn't afraid of showing the big blob a lesson or two if he gets too invasive of her personal space. Fearless for her size.

In battle Miss Moans is quick, real quick. She can strike hard for her size and she can strike multiple times in quick succession. She's a sly minx who isn't afraid of toying with her enemies emotion and capitalising on the first unsuspecting foe to underestimate her. However, Miss Moans doesn't take hits quite as well as she can dish them out and has been known to display overconfidence in her own ability once or twice.
