Protagonists:
Name:
Abigail Blanchett
Age:
17
Gender:
Female
Appearance:
Abigail is fairly tall, standing around a solid 5'7". Her natural skin color is usually quite pale compared to most other people. A rather striking feature, that a lot of people find rather attractive. Her feature she likes most, however, is her hair. Her long purple hair is usually tied back into a pony tail, though Cerise likes putting it in a braid whenever she asks her to style it for her for some occasion. Most people tend to notice her bright green eyes at first, however, much to her own chagrin. She hates the color green.
Despite her liking her hair, she doesn't particularly care so much about her appearance. Despite her mom being a bit of a fashionista, she's always taken after her father - an ex Private Investigator. She wears simple, but comfortable and easy to move in black pants.
Personality:
Where to start with her personality? If one were to go by first impressions only, they would simply assume that she's a girl who thinks she's ten times better than everyone at everything. She will often state how much she doesn't like other people and do it quite loudly as well. Its the honest truth, to her. She thinks everyone else will slow her down. She doesn't like interacting with other people, even more so when its against her will. So this whole journey thing, is going to be...interesting, for her at least, since she find most other people quite annoying.
Unfortunately, 'friendship' is mostly a foreign concept to her and she had no idea how to even be friendly. Most often, she can only defaults to some sort of insult. Its not intentional, really, but more of a bit of habit than anything.
However, once she finally warms up to someone, they'll find a secret side to her that is surprisingly thoughtful, and a bit on the sweet side. That doesn't mean its any easier for her - in fact, she's quite nervous about being seemingly to be nice to people. Most often, they'll find her a stuttering and blushing mess, especially if said being nice involves some kind of physical contact, like say...a hug.
Think of her as a grumpy Tsundere cat that secretly likes being cuddled with~ xP
History:
Abigail is originally from Kalos, growing up in the center of of the country - Lumiose. She was born to a mother who was a rather well known fashion designer, and her father who was a Private Investigator. For a time, she grew up there and was quite happy with her life. Well, happy to her in any case. Her parents, despite being rich didn't want to spoil their daughter so they made her work for almost anything she wanted. So, at an early age she developed a need to be the best at everything she worked at. Working harder yielded better rewards, no?
When she was around the age of six, her father and mother split - though she never understood why exactly. She moved to Johto with her father, and they settled down in the city of costal city of Olivine, where she spent the rest of the years growing up. Her father was a bit less lax on her being spoiled, but by now she had gotten it into her head she had to be the absolute best. Actually, no, she was the best and she wasn't going to let anyone tell her otherwise.
She graduated trainers school at the top of her class a few years later when she was 16. After that, she wasn't quite sure what to do with her life. Sure trainer school was promising and all, but she had never actually considered it as an actual career...but oddly enough, the allure of danger and adventure was just too good, despite the law stating travelling in pairs was necessary. So, she signed up for a license, and set off for Newbark Town.
Quirks/Habits/Other:
- Surprisingly, likes eating a lot. Good food is just one way to get on her good side. Where it all goes...people don't know.
- She's surprisingly strong for her size. Physical fitness was something her father also drilled into her. She still likes doing a light jog in the mornings, and waking up at the crack of dawn.
- Do not mess up her hair. its the only thing she actively takes care of appearance wise. Mess it up, you will die.
- has an interest in martial arts, but has never actually tried learning them.
Inventory:
- Pokeballs x5
- First-aid kit, for minor scrapes and injuries (x1)
- Extra clothes x2 (including pajamas)
- Holo-caster, souvenir from Kalos. Works with older and other phones too, but no Hologram will be displayed unless it's communicating with another Holo Caster.

All stuffed into her shoulder bag, rather unorganized.

TL;DR:
A somewhat majorly Arrogant girl, who really doesn't seem to like people, but secretly likes being cuddled with by people she likes.
Her color is PURPLE
Name:
Cerise Fontaine
Age:
16
Gender:
Female
Appearance:
She has bright red hair, along with blue eyes along with fairly pale skin. She wears a black and white one piece dress that she designed, labeled, and put onto market herself. She takes great pride in at, and you'd probably do well not to insult it. Of course, most people in Kalos know better, but out here in the 'boondocks' like Johto, well...
She wears a matching black cap, along with black stockings and black boots. She wears a belt, though it is purely for fashion and utility purposes.
Personality:
At first, Cerise would seem to be a friendly person, if a bit Aloof. She speaks very formally to most people, and is usually quite civil in her tone of voice, even to those she doesn't like - which is usually everyone. She hides her disdain for other people quite well, usually though, unless under extreme pressure or circumstances.
Under her calm and friendly, but aloof exterior...to put bluntly is a spoiled little princess who thinks she's better than everyone. She has no time for the 'common' folk, and she always looks after number one - herself. Arrogant and condescending, she really is not someone most people would want to associate with. As such, she has...well, problems making and keeping so called 'friends'. Because of this, she is quite the actress and can easily fool people into thinking she actually cares. In other words, she's quite the manipulative little girl. If given the chance, she would probably always choose herself over someone else - at least not without a lot of persuasion.
She believes herself to be the best - well, her and her best friend Abigail. The other Kalosian girl is probably the only one she would consider a friend. Her goal for the Journey? Well, unlike Abigail she had no illusions of grandeur for the Pokemon league. Honestly, she simply wanted to see her old friend again. After Abigail moved, the two kept in touch and often met if they could. The Adventure is simply and excuse to see Abigail again - and maybe get away from the pressures of being a country icon at the age of 16.
History:
Similar to Abigail, she is the daughter of a rather well known Kalosian Businessman. He handled quite a number of legal affairs for the wealthy in Kalos. The Blanchett's just happened to be one of them. The two kids often played together, but unlike Abigail, Cerise took quite an interest in the Blanchett's fashion. It was when she was around five, that Abigail and her father moved to Johto, though the two kids parents often arranged for them to meet every now and then.
However, while Abigail was busy furthering her trainer abilities, Cerise was busy apprenticing under Abigails mother. She, unlike Abigail seemed to have a natural talent for fashion, and an eye for detail and design. She put it to good use, and by the time she was 15 she had produced her first clothing design, and luckily enough it as a hit with the people of Kalos.
For the already spoiled Cerise, this was only bigger boost to her ego.
Unfortunately, she started to crack a bit under the pressure. Her creativity spiraled and for half a year. she couldn't design anything. It was then, that she got a call from Abigail that she was going to be going on a journey and challenging the Pokemon league. Well, why not go as well?
She boarded the first flight she could book to Johto, and decided to meet up with Abigail in New Bark.
Quirks/Habits/Other: Tends to play with her hair a lot. Especially if she's trying to...eh...'persuade' a man.
Inventory:
x5 pokeballs.
Her hat
Various fashion items.
Holo Caster.
Map of Johto.
A few other miscellaneous items.
TL;DR: A manipulative, spoiled, brat who may or may not end up hurting more than she helps. totally not a yandere either

Name: Yuu Nozomu
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Yuu is fairly tall, standing proudly at a height of 6'2", with a weight of 178 pounds. He has a slightly pale complexion, and has the appearance of a rather lanky and slightly frail boy. However, he is rather well built much to most peoples surprise, being caught off guard by a "weak" appearing trainer others can usually assault. He is fairly confident in both body, spirit, and battle which often leaves him in a cheerful mood with a confident bona fide smile.
The boy sports uncombed, messy hair which he doesn't bother to brush, even though he carries around a hairbrush. One of the most notable facets is his naturally tinted lavender hair which sort of runs in the family, mainly from his mothers side with their unusual hair colors. There are a few dark streaks in his hair which came from him dyeing the roots a blackish hue which has slightly faded. Another well known part of his appearance is his violet iris' which are rather piercing to say the least.
Although he doesn't actually have a particular taste for fashion, his usual getup features a blue jacket with feather-like tufts, a green tank-top, beige pants, and stylish black shoes (shown wearing). He also has a white jacket with weird ear-like things on the hood, a blue striped pull-over, and blue pants. He also sports a green jacket with a few other dapper clothes on him in his inventory that he can adorn himself with. He also seems to love three different colors the most, and will generally react to such things in a positive way.
Personality:
A confident boy who approaches everything with a upbeat, never say die attitude who keeps moving on forward, undaunted by almost any ordeal or task presented to him. A boy with a serene mind that doesn't mind taking his time to smell the roses, but know when it's time to haul out. He is very assured of his own abilities, to the point where he walks into a battle with a simple genuine smile for his opponent to show he isn't at all disgruntled nor taken back. He also showcases a friendly persona of sorts to others, often those without any sort of tenacity inside them. Yuu will cheerful urge them onwards, no matter what the circumstances are. He states that he wishes to challenge the league to prove himself as the best trainer in Johto, putting emotion into such thought.
He can be considered too bold from time to time as he is extremely stubborn and what others can consider cocky. He never turns tail and run from a challenge presented before him and swears that he will tear it to shreds with his talents. Sometimes this leaves him blinded as he tumbles toward a new challenge, unaware of what is to come until its too late. Even with this setback, he will figure out a way out for anyone with him to get out of a really abhorrent situation, even if it hurts him in the end. If he loses to these challenges, depending on what they are, he will put on a false smile with sheer animosity against himself for messing up, or anger for endangering the lives of others.
However, this is caused from rooted troubles ingrained within his soul, he is troubled by going to sleep from time to time. He shows an almost innate discountenance when around dark times, and a deep-seated fear of one specific pokemon. What he also truly is afraid of the most is losing people and pokemon he sincerely cares for, valuing them above all, and mostly himself. This is in due part to his sister being currently ensnared in an everlasting nightmare along with a few others due to an organize overaggressive pokemon attack. Yuu will not hesitate to inject himself into the episode to dispel any misery the victim is absorbing and will help them endure it by taking it instead. Usually when the situation is dire, he will go to such outrageous plans that mainly end up in him being harmed. Although he will sometimes welcome help in such times, he will make sure no one is defiled before and after the outcome.
History:
"All I can remember are those years when it all started... Sister, can you remember what it was like? Walking alongside such wonderful beings only to lose touch with them? You remember, right? It's so strange how it all started, and now..."
"Hey, do you remember-"
Ever since his childhood, Yuu and his older sister have been always interacting with wild pokemon with their parents who were former trainers. They often imagined the whimsical adventures their parents traveled on as they painted livid words. His father is a business man who constantly moves around with his family from region to region do to working alongside myriads of companies. His mother was a former contest star who's name has been lost among the countless stars who participated in such displays. Although they didn't have such a huge connection to their dad, most of their time was spent around their mother who cherished her two children dearly. She was always wild and created fun scenarios which her children and pokemon enjoyed.
Both children have seen and encounter different settings in their life ever since they were born, originally in Johto. They spent most of their younger years there, conversing and playing with children and their families before heading to another region at the age of five and seven in which the two tearfully said their farewells as they departed to another region. The boy recalled that it had to do with something involving the Devon Corporation, or something along the lines. Either way, he lived in a city that held a gym leader who recently replaced Roxxane. The duo attended trainer school to gain concurrent knowledge on what their father and mother had during their own tales they spun, wishing to complete such an ordeal one day. He was picked by other students for having a somewhat higher interest in pokemon which almost caused him to hold himself back in hopes of averting the crude responses. Thankfully his mother and sister caught wind of this and stepped in to help him during such times, bequeathing advice to him. Eventually he got over such a mundane thing and became unaffected by such hollow remarks, and they eventually stopped due to his positive responses.
During his seventh year, his family moved to another region, this time the Unova region, stories of pokemon attacks had been rising upwards. His family who had been surrounded by pokemon their entire life found themselves bemused with the sudden change in their calm behavior turning aggressive and becoming feral. It was almost hard to believe until they saw another human brutally thrashed after their pokemon was killed in front of them. Their children were lucky not to see it, but became terrified and wondered why such a thing could happen. This invoked pure curiosity into Yuu who started doing some research into the lives of pokemon and how they became that way. This study would not become intense until his sixteenth year.
Eventually, after a great deal of time flew passed, they found themselves back in Johto, back in a contrasting building in a recognizable environment. Even with the professor living in the area, Yuu couldn't even find a single soul he used to identify, save for a familiar family with a newfound daughter he never saw before. This was a new slate in a way with a familiar palette, and he had to create a new life, especially once his sister embarked on her own journey, leaving him alone.
It wasn't long before his family moved out of New Bark Town and to Olivine City so he could pursuit education and decide whether his life would be lived as a trainer or a man within economics. The void nibbled and nipped on him for a bit, but he found new friends during this brief amount of time when she left for a year, along with stark a stark, clashing rivalry between a violet haired miscreant. Even though it was all unfamiliar, fresh, he found his way and integrated himself into the mix, finding happiness among the crowds of students attending school.
This fortune he was betwixt with was about to disperse into thin air as the sabled flames overtook his whole family.
"... No, I can't go through with this part of the tale... I just can't... I hurt you, and I'm so sorry... I hope you have the heart to accept my pleas for forgiveness after I return... I crippled you with this blight, so I would understand if you or the others hated me... but I'll never abhor you or the others."
"..."
"... anyways, I should be getting to bed now and stop reminiscing on the past with you as tomorrows the big day... I hope you can see me coming back a different and better man after this journey once you've fully recuperated."
"Good night dear sister, I hope to see your dreams come true one day..."
"That's all I honestly wish Yasu."
When near the outline of the city, Yuu saw a visage of a familiar girl, one who shifted uncontrollably, almost in a daze. That outline was his sister, which he excitedly waved to while shouting to get her attention. Yuu saw as she snapped back to him with fear in her eyes and streaming tears - he remembered the Houndoom and how it pinned him down, how she sent her Pokemon to save him, how they all met their demise... and the snarling that came from it when it left a bloodied and burnt Yasu in their place. Yuu should of been grateful his mother saved him and his sister, but yet he could only remained shocked with wide-eyes as his older sister was rushed to the emergency room.
He did this - Yuu Nozomu caused not only the death of his sisters pokemon, but put her into critical condition. Before he knew it, he found himself back in New Bark Town with a nurse from Mahogany town. They took her back so that she might recover in such a pleasant, healthy, breezy place once she awoke. While he did help out with caring for his sister, he also performed myriads of things to mend his broken mind and ready slightly taut body. Working out and researching for the next one year was his mission, along with caring for his harmed sister in any way the nurse asked him. Of course, he was cursed with a slew of nightmares, seldom having a nice dream in a while. It was like a broken record, with that mutt getting angrier and more ravenous with each passing slumber.
Yuu may be physically steeled, but by all means he is not even close to being mentally steeled.
Quirks/Habits/Other:
- Yuu has a tendency to over-prepare for journeys, and often overdoes it when trying to procure items. As a result, he carries around more leftover items than he actually need. However, this can come in use when hanging around with other people.
- Yuu isn't one to be taken back by certain situations, and often works to make the best of it, no matter how harsh the impending events are. He isn't one to be driven down into the dirt by a simple setback.
- Yuu usually needs little to no sleep to be energized for the day ahead due to an unfortunate encounter. However, when he does need sleep, he will often slumber for hours on end with a slightly pained look on his face.
- Yuu doesn't often go to his back up plans at times because they are usually drastic. However, when he does go to such dire actions, he will often fight in place of his pokemon, often being warranted as insane for doing so.
- Yuu is considered to be physically fit and quite durable, despite his rather lanky appearance. He can easily hold out in a fight, whether it is between humans or pokemon. The latter has yet to be seen.
- Yuu is actually quite afraid of dark types, specifically one that traumatized him and put his sister into an almost never ending nightmarish coma. If ever put face-to-face against said pokemon, he might as just tense up in sheer fear and animosity against the thing. He is very biased against this pokemon.
- Yuu is shown to be incredibly loyal to others, and would go to the ends of the earth, er pokerealm for them. He swore an oath not only to win the pokemon league championships for his sister since he sort of got her into this predicament, but promises to find a way to bring her back from her coma.
- Yuu is very hard to get riled up, making it hard to spot a mean bone in his body. He can be slightly set off, but only when it's for anothers sake. If pushed to the very brink, he will do whatever he can to make your life hell until satisfied.
- Yuu will tap the bottom of his lip when faced with a certain predicament he can't find the answer to or when he demonstrates himself as extremely pressured or nervous. This habit extends over to going to drastic measures when he chooses to wager his life.
- Yuu prefers to make direct eye contact with a person to make sure they are not only listening to the conversation, but to measure their confidence.
- Yuu doesn't enjoying showing his true nature around others he doesn't know much about and is keen on hiding matters, unless it is very important and must be told at utmost haste.
- Yuu is very competitive to say the least and prefers not to back down from any challenge issued to him by a trainer, no matter how worn out he is. Plus, he loves a good battle, however he discretely despises himself when he loses one, even if its against a good friend.

TL;DR: A careful and determined boy who who believes that he is the cause of his sisters unfortunate fate which resulted in her falling into a nightmarish coma after her return to New Bark Town. He now works to defeat the pokemon league for both his sisters sake and his own while waiting for her to finally awaken; puts up a cool facade, but in reality is scared of losing or hurting more people due to any rash or careless actions. He also doubts his abilities as being a trainer from time to time.

There are a few dark streaks in his hair which came from him dyeing the roots a blackish hue which has slightly faded. Another well known part of his appearance is his violet iris' which are rather piercing to say the least.
Although he doesn't actually have a particular taste for fashion, his usual getup features a blue jacket with feather-like tufts, a green tank-top, beige pants, and stylish black shoes (shown wearing). He also has a white jacket with weird ear-like things on the hood, a blue striped pull-over, and blue pants. He also sports a green jacket with a few other dapper clothes on him in his inventory that he can adorn himself with. He also seems to love three different colors the most, and will generally react to such things in a positive way.
Personality:
A confident boy who approaches everything with a upbeat, never say die attitude who keeps moving on forward, undaunted by almost any ordeal or task presented to him. A boy with a serene mind that doesn't mind taking his time to smell the roses, but know when it's time to haul out. He is very assured of his own abilities, to the point where he walks into a battle with a simple genuine smile for his opponent to show he isn't at all disgruntled nor taken back. He also showcases a friendly persona of sorts to others, often those without any sort of tenacity inside them. Yuu will cheerful urge them onwards, no matter what the circumstances are. He states that he wishes to challenge the league to prove himself as the best trainer in Johto, putting emotion into such thought.
He can be considered too bold from time to time as he is extremely stubborn and what others can consider cocky. He never turns tail and run from a challenge presented before him and swears that he will tear it to shreds with his talents. Sometimes this leaves him blinded as he tumbles toward a new challenge, unaware of what is to come until its too late. Even with this setback, he will figure out a way out for anyone with him to get out of a really abhorrent situation, even if it hurts him in the end. If he loses to these challenges, depending on what they are, he will put on a false smile with sheer animosity against himself for messing up, or anger for endangering the lives of others.
However, this is caused from rooted troubles ingrained within his soul, he is troubled by going to sleep from time to time. He shows an almost innate discountenance when around dark times, and a deep-seated fear of one specific pokemon. What he also truly is afraid of the most is losing people and pokemon he sincerely cares for, valuing them above all, and mostly himself. This is in due part to his sister being currently ensnared in an everlasting nightmare along with a few others due to an organize overaggressive pokemon attack. Yuu will not hesitate to inject himself into the episode to dispel any misery the victim is absorbing and will help them endure it by taking it instead. Usually when the situation is dire, he will go to such outrageous plans that mainly end up in him being harmed. Although he will sometimes welcome help in such times, he will make sure no one is defiled before and after the outcome.
History:
"All I can remember are those years when it all started... Sister, can you remember what it was like? Walking alongside such wonderful beings only to lose touch with them? You remember, right? It's so strange how it all started, and now..."
"Hey, do you remember-"
Ever since his childhood, Yuu and his older sister have been always interacting with wild pokemon with their parents who were former trainers. They often imagined the whimsical adventures their parents traveled on as they painted livid words. His father is a business man who constantly moves around with his family from region to region do to working alongside myriads of companies. His mother was a former contest star who's name has been lost among the countless stars who participated in such displays. Although they didn't have such a huge connection to their dad, most of their time was spent around their mother who cherished her two children dearly. She was always wild and created fun scenarios which her children and pokemon enjoyed.
Both children have seen and encounter different settings in their life ever since they were born, originally in Johto. They spent most of their younger years there, conversing and playing with children and their families before heading to another region at the age of five and seven in which the two tearfully said their farewells as they departed to another region. The boy recalled that it had to do with something involving the Devon Corporation, or something along the lines. Either way, he lived in a city that held a gym leader who recently replaced Roxxane. The duo attended trainer school to gain concurrent knowledge on what their father and mother had during their own tales they spun, wishing to complete such an ordeal one day. He was picked by other students for having a somewhat higher interest in pokemon which almost caused him to hold himself back in hopes of averting the crude responses. Thankfully his mother and sister caught wind of this and stepped in to help him during such times, bequeathing advice to him. Eventually he got over such a mundane thing and became unaffected by such hollow remarks, and they eventually stopped due to his positive responses.
During his seventh year, his family moved to another region, this time the Unova region, stories of pokemon attacks had been rising upwards. His family who had been surrounded by pokemon their entire life found themselves bemused with the sudden change in their calm behavior turning aggressive and becoming feral. It was almost hard to believe until they saw another human brutally thrashed after their pokemon was killed in front of them. Their children were lucky not to see it, but became terrified and wondered why such a thing could happen. This invoked pure curiosity into Yuu who started doing some research into the lives of pokemon and how they became that way. This study would not become intense until his sixteenth year.
Eventually, after a great deal of time flew passed, they found themselves back in Johto, back in a contrasting building in a recognizable environment. Even with the professor living in the area, Yuu couldn't even find a single soul he used to identify, save for a familiar family with a newfound daughter he never saw before. This was a new slate in a way with a familiar palette, and he had to create a new life, especially once his sister embarked on her own journey, leaving him alone.
It wasn't long before his family moved out of New Bark Town and to Olivine City so he could pursuit education and decide whether his life would be lived as a trainer or a man within economics. The void nibbled and nipped on him for a bit, but he found new friends during this brief amount of time when she left for a year, along with stark a stark, clashing rivalry between a violet haired miscreant. Even though it was all unfamiliar, fresh, he found his way and integrated himself into the mix, finding happiness among the crowds of students attending school.
This fortune he was betwixt with was about to disperse into thin air as the sabled flames overtook his whole family.
"... No, I can't go through with this part of the tale... I just can't... I hurt you, and I'm so sorry... I hope you have the heart to accept my pleas for forgiveness after I return... I crippled you with this blight, so I would understand if you or the others hated me... but I'll never abhor you or the others."
"..."
"... anyways, I should be getting to bed now and stop reminiscing on the past with you as tomorrows the big day... I hope you can see me coming back a different and better man after this journey once you've fully recuperated."
"Good night dear sister, I hope to see your dreams come true one day..."
"That's all I honestly wish Yasu."
When near the outline of the city, Yuu saw a visage of a familiar girl, one who shifted uncontrollably, almost in a daze. That outline was his sister, which he excitedly waved to while shouting to get her attention. Yuu saw as she snapped back to him with fear in her eyes and streaming tears - he remembered the Houndoom and how it pinned him down, how she sent her Pokemon to save him, how they all met their demise... and the snarling that came from it when it left a bloodied and burnt Yasu in their place. Yuu should of been grateful his mother saved him and his sister, but yet he could only remained shocked with wide-eyes as his older sister was rushed to the emergency room.
He did this - Yuu Nozomu caused not only the death of his sisters pokemon, but put her into critical condition. Before he knew it, he found himself back in New Bark Town with a nurse from Mahogany town. They took her back so that she might recover in such a pleasant, healthy, breezy place once she awoke. While he did help out with caring for his sister, he also performed myriads of things to mend his broken mind and ready slightly taut body. Working out and researching for the next one year was his mission, along with caring for his harmed sister in any way the nurse asked him. Of course, he was cursed with a slew of nightmares, seldom having a nice dream in a while. It was like a broken record, with that mutt getting angrier and more ravenous with each passing slumber.
Yuu may be physically steeled, but by all means he is not even close to being mentally steeled.
Quirks/Habits/Other:
- Yuu has a tendency to over-prepare for journeys, and often overdoes it when trying to procure items. As a result, he carries around more leftover items than he actually need. However, this can come in use when hanging around with other people.
- Yuu isn't one to be taken back by certain situations, and often works to make the best of it, no matter how harsh the impending events are. He isn't one to be driven down into the dirt by a simple setback.
- Yuu usually needs little to no sleep to be energized for the day ahead due to an unfortunate encounter. However, when he does need sleep, he will often slumber for hours on end with a slightly pained look on his face.
- Yuu doesn't often go to his back up plans at times because they are usually drastic. However, when he does go to such dire actions, he will often fight in place of his pokemon, often being warranted as insane for doing so.
- Yuu is considered to be physically fit and quite durable, despite his rather lanky appearance. He can easily hold out in a fight, whether it is between humans or pokemon. The latter has yet to be seen.
- Yuu is actually quite afraid of dark types, specifically one that traumatized him and put his sister into an almost never ending nightmarish coma. If ever put face-to-face against said pokemon, he might as just tense up in sheer fear and animosity against the thing. He is very biased against this pokemon.
- Yuu is shown to be incredibly loyal to others, and would go to the ends of the earth, er pokerealm for them. He swore an oath not only to win the pokemon league championships for his sister since he sort of got her into this predicament, but promises to find a way to bring her back from her coma.
- Yuu is very hard to get riled up, making it hard to spot a mean bone in his body. He can be slightly set off, but only when it's for anothers sake. If pushed to the very brink, he will do whatever he can to make your life hell until satisfied.
- Yuu will tap the bottom of his lip when faced with a certain predicament he can't find the answer to or when he demonstrates himself as extremely pressured or nervous. This habit extends over to going to drastic measures when he chooses to wager his life.
- Yuu prefers to make direct eye contact with a person to make sure they are not only listening to the conversation, but to measure their confidence.
- Yuu doesn't enjoying showing his true nature around others he doesn't know much about and is keen on hiding matters, unless it is very important and must be told at utmost haste.
- Yuu is very competitive to say the least and prefers not to back down from any challenge issued to him by a trainer, no matter how worn out he is. Plus, he loves a good battle, however he discretely despises himself when he loses one, even if its against a good friend.

Battle Theme:
TL;DR: A careful and determined boy who who believes that he is the cause of his sisters unfortunate fate which resulted in her falling into a nightmarish coma after her return to New Bark Town. He now works to defeat the pokemon league for both his sisters sake and his own while waiting for her to finally awaken; puts up a cool facade, but in reality is scared of losing or hurting more people due to any rash or careless actions. He also doubts his abilities as being a trainer from time to time.
Color: Indigo
Name: Ryley Grisdoe
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Ryley falls around the height of 5’8’’. He normally has a serious look on his face, but he doesn’t really realize it, and it changes fairly easily. His hair often gets messy, despite his attempts at combing/brushing/whatevering. He prefers to wear a lighter t-shirt and a pair of jeans. Y’know, the ‘usual’. He doesn’t really care about appearance that much though, and prefers comfortable, practical clothes.
Personality:
Ryley is a very ‘down to earth’ type of guy. He can come off as sarcastic sometimes due to this. He won’t run away from the truth of things, even when things are rough. However, he’ll do what he can to change the ‘truth’ of matters if he doesn’t like it. Also, just because he faces the truth doesn’t mean he won’t lie.
Ryley respects others’ opinions and ideas, as most of them have a good reason or cause behind them. Due to this, many people find him to be friendly. However, he tends to avoid people with ideas he doesn’t agree with, if possible. This may seem rude, but Ryley doesn’t want to argue others with strong beliefs, as he believes no one wins in those cases.
Ryley enjoys the company of others, though he’s not that good at small talk. He’s better at having deep discussions. He may throw in a quick quip here or there in normal conversations, but overall he prefers to listen.
History:
Ryley grew up in Unova. More specifically, Opelucid City (W/W2 version). His mother died only 6 months after he was born, so he grew up alone with his father. His father worked as an assistant to the town’s gym leader, Drayden. Due to this, Ryley learned a lot about dragon types, especially the legendary duo Reshiram and Zekrom. The idea of truth and ideals fighting always interested him, though it was slightly confusing.
When he was 9 years old, his dad got laid off due to less trainers battling. He couldn’t find another job in the city, so they had to move from home sweet home. They ended up moving to Violet City, where his dad got a job maintaining Sprout Tower. Though the lore of Opelucid was great, the history of Sprout Tower, combined with the nearby Ruins of Alph managed to sate Ryley’s curiosity.
Eventually, the wild pokemon’s aggressiveness became so bad that Ryley couldn’t travel to the Ruins alone. He became fairly agitated due to this, and wanted to do something. He tried asking questions around town, and soon found out that the wild pokemon everywhere were being more aggressive, but nobody knew exactly why. He decided he’d try to find out the source of the problem, and solve it. He got his dad’s approval fairly easily and signed up for a license. With equipment in hand, he headed out.
Quirks/Habits/Other:
-Likes to learn about lore and history of various things
-Doesn’t have much of a taste. He often goes with whatever is healthiest, or he’s in the mood for.
-Loves the feeling of when a good plan succeeds.
-Doesn’t really realize it, but he’s good at predicting what someone is about to do based on their movement and changes in pattern.

Name:
Noah Brightstone
Age:
19
Gender:
Male
Appearance:
Some folks just have friendly faces. And others? Others, like Noah, suffer from terrible resting bitchface. That honestly doesn’t do him any favors but...he makes things worse. So much worse.
How?
...just...just look at him!
Weighing in at six foot four and a buck ninety-five, and possessing a rather athletic build, Noah can seem a bit intimidating. Hell, in most groups, he’s a head, if not more, above the rest. But that’s just not enough for the little attention whore. So what does he do? If you answered “shove metal into his ears and lips” without a shred of irony, then congratulations! You understand teenage angst. Bonus points if you mentioned the tattoos on his upper right shoulder or lower left forearm. Daily Double if you got bleached blonde shaggy mohawk. You’re cheating if you already knew about the nipple ring.
As far as clothing goes, Noah doesn’t change much. Torn, dark jeans and band-tees are his go-to outfit. He’s been really into this band called Own Tempo lately, so he’s got a few of their shirts on rotation. Since he’s taking up the whole hobo pet battling career, he did snag an alright black backpack...which he quickly covered with patches for numerous different bands, general anarchy, and other sorts of stereotypical bullshit.
Personality:
You know what’s worse than a rough appearance? A worse personality. Don’t worry, folks, Noah doesn’t disappoint. He’s every bit as loudmouthed, crude, and lazy as you might have hoped. And sure, he might get a bit heated at times, but Noah’s actually pretty good at keeping his cool. But he’s even better at helping others lose theirs. See, he tends to know exactly what to say to rub some extra salt into that fresh wound. And getting a rise out of some schlub? That’s how the Brightstone kid gets his jollies.
But words can get a guy into trouble pretty damn quick. Fortunately, Noah knows how to take care of himself in a fight. And while he can do alright, he’s not going to win every fight. That’s why knowing when to run comes in handy. Does it hurt a man’s pride? Sure. But a knife to the throat hurts just a touch more.
Noah’s not all harsh words and roundhouse kicks, though. When it comes to Pokemon, he’s much, much more compassionate and patient. The smaller and cuter they are, the more his heart swoons. Not that he’d let anybody see that side and walk away, of course. Still, even the bigger Pokemon get a kinder hand from Noah. He’s a strict trainer, sure, but he’ll give praise when it’s earned. As long as the Pokemon is willing to give it a go, so is he...to an extent. But Noah’s motivation to do...well...anything isn’t exactly that high. If he finds himself in a bad position, he’s likely to just give up, rather than lose. Why bother, after all. But despite that, Noah is a fairly good trainer. If he wasn’t just a lazy piece of shit, he might even have a shot at being one of the greats.
Now, and this is just between you and me, Loyal Reader, but Noah does have sort of a soft spot for kids. He’d never admit it, but he loves seeing the little tykes running around having fun. And if anybody were to try to interrupt that? Oooooh-boy...that ain’t smart. Bullying, especially bullying directed towards kids or the weak...yeah, that ain’t flying around Noah. Sure, he might even seem like the kind that would engage in the bullying himself - and he will - but only towards those that he deems “deserve it.” So other bullies, jackasses, and general ne’er-do-wells.
Don’t take that as Noah having some sort of strong moral compass. Make no mistake, he will lie, cheat, and steal; whatever he has to do to survive, y’know? His little hobby of whipping bullies has less to do with being a hero and more to do with showing up some jackass that thinks he’s hot shit.
History:
Noah has spent the majority of his life in the foster care system, slipping in and out of homes all over the region. See, Mother Dearest decided that leaving her fresh newborn on the steps of a government building was a reasonable thing to do. Fast forward about eighteen years, a few trips to lockup, a close embraces with death, and we’re almost to modern day. Except, a big day happened to occur! Noah’s eighteenth birthday! Or, as he likes to think of it, the day that he got kicked out onto the streets with little more than the clothes on his back.
He lived on the streets of Goldenrod for some time before hearing of the whole Pokemon League challenge. To somebody like him, it sounded perfect. He would have the chance to earn money while doing...well...exactly what he’s doing. Just with more sightseeing and adorable balls of destructive energy.
...huh? You expected more? Well...we could list off all the shit on Noah’s police record, but this is just a character bio, not a novel. He’s pretty much just a street kid that surfed on more than his fair share of couches. Now he’s taking up the challenge so he can afford not to sleep in an alley. Fair enough, ain’t it?

Age: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance:
You, sir, are looking at the pipsqueak of doom.
No, that’s not a child. Yes, she does have a license, calm down and put away your badge, sir.
When you stand at the diminutive height of 5’3” and suffer from a major case of babyface, you get used to being mistaken for a twelve-year-old. Ivy Aspen is, indeed, used to being mistaken for a twelve-year-old. Maybe even a cute twelve-year-old But that doesn’t mean that she has to like it.
Ivy does everything in her power to make herself look older. She dresses formally — yes, that is indeed a pressed collared shirt that she’s wearing. She wears make-up. (Just a touch, though.) She combs her green hair. And you see that scowl? That scowl says “Don’t. Even. Try it.”
Well, that’s more of a personality thing, to be honest.
Personality:
Ivy is a nice girl. Probably. Deep, deep down.
It’s kind of hard to tell, because… she’s just not a very talkative person. Ivy is a bit of a recluse, and has difficulties expressing her feelings… if she even has them. Most of the time, she seems pretty nonchalant about the world as a whole. What, bad guys on the loose? A horde of ferocious pokemon chasing her down? Ivy’s not scared. Or if she is… you can’t tell, so she might as well not be scared, right?
In a shocking turn of events, Ivy’s dream is to be a baker. She has no strong feelings about pokemon: they’re okay, but she’s not exactly aiming to be the pokemon master. Sweets are the one thing that she’ll go ga-ga for. Hey, sweets are the way to a girl’s heart, right?
As for how she treats her pokemon, well, this is a girl who can barely admit that she loves her mother. So she’s pretty cold to them. Strangely enough, they seem perfectly able to read between the lines and infer any love that their trainer is failing to show them. Pokemon are more perceptive than people, after all.
History:
Ivy’s whole family is devoted to grass-type Pokemon, so it stands to reason that they thought that Ivy herself would grow up to raise grass types and inherit the family apothecary.
Well, they thought wrong. Ivy does what she wants.
As a kid, there was only one thing that really got Ivy Aspen’s blood pumping, and that was baking. Ivy bakes like a madwoman. When her friends were obsessing over competitive battling, Ivy was baking. When her friends were gossiping about boys, Ivy was still baking. In fact, Ivy basically spent her entire childhood baking and generally being very, very grumpy.
Eventually, her parents got sick of the house constantly smelling like chocolate chip cookies, and kicked her out to make her fortune, with strict orders that she could only return once she’d obtained all eight badges.
Quirks/Habits/Other:
- She constantly smells like baked goods. For this reason, pokemon tend to randomly lick her.
- When intimidated, there is a good chance that Ivy will take a swing at people with her iron.
- Enjoys classical music.
- Severe A-cup angst.

TL;DR: A grumpy baking fanatic who looks like a twelve-year-old, smells like a bakery, and talks about as much as the original Pokemon protagonists. Pokemon randomly lick her all the time.
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance:
You, sir, are looking at the pipsqueak of doom.
No, that’s not a child. Yes, she does have a license, calm down and put away your badge, sir.
When you stand at the diminutive height of 5’3” and suffer from a major case of babyface, you get used to being mistaken for a twelve-year-old. Ivy Aspen is, indeed, used to being mistaken for a twelve-year-old. Maybe even a cute twelve-year-old But that doesn’t mean that she has to like it.
Ivy does everything in her power to make herself look older. She dresses formally — yes, that is indeed a pressed collared shirt that she’s wearing. She wears make-up. (Just a touch, though.) She combs her green hair. And you see that scowl? That scowl says “Don’t. Even. Try it.”
Well, that’s more of a personality thing, to be honest.

Name:
Mattie Linder
Age:
16
Gender:
Female
Appearance:
Mattie is quite short, about 5'1", and very, very scrawny. She has a pale complexion, which contrasts with her short, untamed red hair. Her fringe flops over her eyes, which is good for her because it means she can easily avoid making eye contact with people. Her eyes are blue in color.
Clothing-wise, she doesn't really care as long as it's comfortable. She doesn't like wearing skirts or anything that reveals too much skin, and often wears clothes that are baggy and oversized, both to keep warm and also because she's self conscious of her figure.
Due to her lack of femininity, she is often mistaken for a young boy. She doesn't seem to mind this.
Personality:
To those meeting her for the first time, Mattie is often accused of being apathetic, rude or even 'creepy'. She rarely reacts to what people say or do around her, tends to zone out when others are talking about subjects she does not care for, refuses to make eye contact with others when conversing with them, and often forgets to say simple pleasantries such as 'hello', 'please', 'thank you' and 'good bye'. In truth, she's just shy and her sheltered upbringing has made it so she finds it difficult to relate to things she has not personally experienced. The best way to get her to open up is to bring up a subject she's personally interested in, such as the occult. Once you do that, you'll find it difficult to get her to stop, and she may become distressed if you attempt to interrupt her or change the subject.
Around those she's more at ease with, she's still quite emotionally guarded, but more talkative and more willing to speak her thoughts and feelings. She doesn't have a lot of filters on her opinions, so she may come across a little blunt and insensitive when saying things, but she's always honest. In fact, she values honesty to the point that she can't bring herself to tell a small white lie. She's also incredibly honest about her feelings, even if she doesn't always show them outwardly. Don't ask her how she's doing if all you want is her to say "I'm okay" because that will never be her answer. She'll always give you an in-depth look into her emotions, and may even go into long details about how her day has been. In turn, she expects people to be honest with her, and is very sharp at picking up when people are lying or at very least are not telling her the whole truth. This is due to her powers of observation, which allow her pick up small details that people often miss.
History:
Mattie's family, the Linders, is a very proud and matriachal family, with a high amount of influence upon the city of Ecruteak where they live. Every woman in her mother's line has been a psychic. Her mother is a psychic, her aunts are psychics, her grandmother was a psychic, and so on. When Mattie's mother, Sylvia, was pregnant, she predicted her child would be a girl, and she would too would possess psychic powers, as was tradition.
She was... half-right.
Mattie did turn out to be a girl. However, despite constant attempts to awaken the young girl's powers, Mattie never showed even the slightest sign of being psychic. In fact, psychic Pokemon seemed uncomfortable in the girl's presence, preferring to keep a good amount of distance away from her. Sylvia was mortified and for while, refuses to have anything to do with her child, as if Mattie had been born without all her limbs or something equally horrifying. Mattie's other female relatives also seemed a bit awkward around her, her grandmother even seeming distainful at times and pointedly ignoring her whenever Mattie entered the room.
Yet Mattie seemed like a perfectly normal child. A little shy and fearful, but normal. Eventually, Sylvia warmed to her daughter, and even developed a quite protective demeanor towards her. The other women also started to become more at ease with her, as did their Pokemon. Mattie's grandmother even started to be nice to her, though she still tended to keep a little distance from her. Her father Edgar, however, was actually pleased his daughter had no powers, and did most of the caring for Mattie in her first years of life. Since marrying Sylvia, he had felt overwhelmed with this psychic household and was happy to have someone 'normal' to talk to.
However, it was soon discovered that Mattie was perhaps not entirely normal as they had once thought. Over the years, the Linder household started attracting a large amount of ghost Pokemon. Sylvia, her sisters and her mother tried to scare them away, but they kept coming back in full force. At first they had no idea what was wrong... until they discovered that Mattie's school had also recieved unexpected visits from ghost Pokemon. It was then they realised that ghost Pokemon were seemingly attracted to Mattie, the way bug Pokemon were attracted to flowers, and they would follow her wherever she went. Mattie didn't seem to mind. In fact, she seemed fairly friendly towards the ghosts, treating them as family. However, this had some depressing side-effects on Mattie's social life. The ghosts would either scare away any potentional friends, or Mattie would look crazy when kids saw her talking to thin air. She actually got ignored and even bullied at school, and eventually, her mother decided it was best she was homeschooled instead. She was much happier there, and got to spend more time with her ghost friends.
Unfortunately, as wild Pokemon became more and more violent, many of the ghosts at Mattie's household began to disappear or stop visiting. A couple stayed - one being a Haunter named Phobos who has taken permaneny residence at Mattie's house - but most of them left, and Mattie started to feel lonelier without them. Now, she's old enough to be a Pokemon trainer, and she's going on a journey. Her goal? Find out what happened to all her ghost friends.
Quirks/Habits/Other:
- Has a vast knowledge of the occult, supernatural and myths. She also incredibly supersticious when it comes to luck.
- Attracts ghosts to her and is able to see them, even when normal people cannot. However, she's seen less and less ghosts following her since pokemon became more violent.
- A little sensitive to sunlight.
- She's not scared of ghosts or the dark. However, she is scared of being alone, as in truly alone. When she had her ghosts with her, she was never alone. Now she's much lonelier now most of them have gone.
- Her theme song would be this:
Inventory:
- A large, leather-bound grimoire
- Scented candles x6
- An assortment of paper talismans
- A piece of chalk
- Pokeball x5
- Extra clothes, plus pyjamas
- Camping equiptment
- A Pokegear
- Her housekeys
- Cards with conversation openers, provided by her dad. The hand writing is difficult to read.

Pokemon:
1. Misdreavus, "Blair" -- lv. 5
TL;DR:
A creepily shy girl who tends to attract ghosts and has a love of the occult, on a quest to find her lost ghost friends.
Name:
Zeph Bagley
Age:
16
Gender:
Male
Appearance:
Zeph is 5'6", with short, slightly spiky brown hair and green eyes. He has a healthy enough complexion, though hw usually has several bandaids on his face and arms due to his tendency to get injured or get into trouble. For clothes, he just wears what's comfortable and/or practical, mostly things he can run around in easily.
Personality:
Zeph is full of energy, to the point that he can almost never sit still, at least not without fidgetting. He's always looking forward to his next destination, never stopping to admire the world around him and dwell on such things as the past, present or future. Because of this, he can be rash, and often runs into things without thinking first, which can get him into a lot of trouble. This is not helped by the fact that he has a fiery temper and can often jump to the worst conclusions about others if he tries to speak before he's got all the facts, which is often.
Zeph isn't a bad kid. Far from it, he has a strong sense of justice and love for both Pokemon and humans. But his tendency to rush through life means he doesn't stop to consider or notice the feelings of others, meaning he can innocently insensitive at times. If he took a moment to actually listen to others and show some restraint, he would probably have a lot more friends. However, his impatience and belief that he's not too fast, everyone else is just too slow and they should keep up, has kind of isolated him from others, and he has a tendency to come off as obnoxious.
History:
Zeph hails from the Sinnoh region, where his family runs a small ranch in Solceon Town. Most of what Zeph knows about Pokemon comes from there, and he spent most of his days tending to his family's numerous Miltank, Bidoof, Girafarig and Ponyta. However, while he genuinely enjoyed the work, Zeph longed to travel outside of Solaceon, a desire that only grew when his second eldest sister, Rahne, decided to go to Trainer School in hopes of pursuing a career as a trainer, a choice which their parents were a little hesitant about but eventually supported. Soon after Rahne joined the school, Zeph begged his parents to let him do the same, which after only a little pleading did they agree to.
Unfortunately, Zeph didn't stay long at Trainer School. His lack of patience and his desire to actually be a trainer instead of paying attention to his studies got in the way, and he eventually dropped out. Still, his desire to go on his own Pokemon journey never died down and, so his parents decided to take another route that they felt would benefit Zeph more, and sent him to live with his uncle Pete in Johto, who was a retired Pokemon trainer. Zeph has been there ever since, and has pretty much spent his time caring for his uncle's Pokemon while eating up his uncle's stories from his youth. Now he's 16, he's ready to go on a journey of his own.
Quirks/Habits/Other:
- He talks very quickly, and people often have to tell him to repeat himself slowly and more clearly.
- When he gets angry, he tends to talk in angry and somewhat adorkable gibberish. And he can get angrily very easily.
- He has a tendency to push himself and others to their limits, and has more than once collapsed from exhaustion.
- He's a very fast runner.
- He's not very good a memorising names, and will often give people nicknames until he commits their names to memory.
- He's easily distracted.
- Due to his years on the ranch, he's very good at raising and caring for Pokemon and often tends to baby them.
- This is his theme song:
Inventory:
- Pokeballs x5
- Extra clothes
- Brand new Pokegear
- A very worn Poketch, dented in several places. It's a wonder it still works.
- Camping equipment
- First aid kit
- A bag of sweets
- Megaphone
TL;DR:
A loud-mouthed, impatient boy from a ranch in Sinnoh who wishes to travel the world as a trainer.
