Over the years I've crafted and created various Pokemon Trainers, Coordinators, Gym Leaders, and other Trainer Classes for Stories, RPs, and the sort. Here, I've brought them together using a Custom Character Sheet that will hopefully bring out the best in them. If you want to use that sheet, it's down below here:

Personality: Lily is a kindhearted and generally sweet girl filled with determination, and she isn't afraid to get her hands dirty to help someone or get something done. She tends to be a bit headstrong and reckless, which often leads into some tricky situations. She doesn't like to lie, and will only do it if absolutely necessary. She's an all around good friend to have by your side, as friendship and family are her most treasured values in life.
History: Lily was born to Leanne and Mitchell Meadows in Goldenrod City. It was clear right off the bat who's side of the family she would take after the most, being born with her Mother's Green Hair and Eyes. She grew up around the numerous Pokemon her parents had caught and trained on their Pokemon Journeys, and is still amazed by them to this day. Her parents would tell her stories from their travels when they were younger, including the time they both participated in the Silver League Conference, where they first met.
As time passed on, her enthusiasm to become a trainer never wavered in the slightest. When her Parents enrolled her in Trainers School, she began learning the basics of being a Pokemon Trainer. These were the bare basics, however, and she was never content with learning things that she knew already. So, after some persuasion, she managed to get her parents to teach her some of their special techniques and tricks they'd picked up on their journey's.
After a few years had passed without much changing in her life, her mother began working to achieve her life's dream to become a Gym Leader. She had learned that a spot had opened up for a Grass Type Specialist from the Pokemon League Association, and set right to work preparing for the Gym Leader Test. When the time came, Lily was right there cheering her on, where she would pass with flying colors. However, she wouldn't see much of her mother for the next year or so, as the position was in a far away region she had never heard of before.
As her tenth birthday approached, they received word from her mother that she was coming home just in time for it. When she arrived, she personally gave Lily her Starter Pokemon, a Chikorita, a traditional Johto Starter Pokemon. Lily would name the young Grass Type Autumn. Then came another piece of amazing news. Her mother had passed her trial period, and was now the official Gym Leader of a city called Lilac City, meaning her stay in the far away region known as Viore would become permanent. So the family packed their things, and set off for Viore barely even a week later.
Upon arriving in Viore, Lily made some very fast friends in Viore Native Brent Ignia, and Johto Natives Devon Lyton and Celes Elwyn. The group decided to travel together. After receiving their Pokedex's from Professor Maple, they set out on Route 701 towards the next city, Vertigo City. Halfway there, though, they would encounter a seemingly evil organization known as Royal Skies, who were after the Gratitude Pokemon Shaymin. After squaring off against them and managing to escape, a strange mark appeared on her hand.
After reaching the Pokemon Center, she learned from a Trainer named Brooks that she had bonded with Shaymin and become a mythical hero of Viore known as a Legendary Guardian. Keeping this information to herself for now, the group set off again the next morning after a heated match between Devon and Brooks. With this new weight on her shoulders, what could happen next?
Pokemon:
Autumn ♀
Ability: Overgrow Moveset:
Tackle
Vine Whip
Razor Leaf
Synthesis
Background Info: Autumn was gifted to Lily by her Mother, who picked it up from Professor Elm before returning home. Autumn seems to have more experience than most Starter Pokemon, and has a good grasp on the world around her. She bonded with Lily quite quickly, and the two are inseparable partners.
Badges/Achievements: Viore League Badges
Notes:
Both of Lily's parents were participants in the same Silver League Conference. While her father was eliminated early on, her mother made it to the Top Eight before being eliminated.
Since she is not from Viore, she is not aware of the vast history the Region has, or of the legends about the Region itself.
While she is just starting out as a Trainer, she has a bit more experience with Pokemon because of her parents, who taught her some skills and tricks she is excited to try out on her own.
In "Legendary Guardians", Lily became bonded with the Gratitude Pokemon Shaymin, becoming one of the Mythical Legendary Guardians of Viore.
Personality: Adventurous is a good place to start describing Ryan. He's got a passion for the distant and unknown, and wants to see it all. Along his journey he has met many different people, and been instilled with many different ideologies and thoughts, many of which shape who he is today. Above all, he is a family kid, and will always stop by home every once in a while to see how life is going for them, or to surprise them with a gift or two.
History: Ryan was the first born to Leon and Michelle Ignia. The family lived in the Sevii Islands, a quiet and peaceful corner of the world in which to raise their son. His father wasn't around much, as he had a job studying Pokemon in a distant region, leaving his mother to take care of him most of the time. It became clear soon, however, that this arrangement would not work. After several years, his father's job became permanent, and the family soon moved to a region relatively unknown to a good portion of the world.
After he began Trainers School, his parents had another child, his little brother Brent. When not at school, Ryan was the one to look after him most of the time, as his father was usually away on work and his mother was the Foreman of the Regional Power Plant. However, with his tenth birthday approaching, he would eventually have to say goodbye.
And when that day came, he was ready. He'd decided on his starter long before, choosing the Fire Type Cyndaquil from the available selection. As he set off on his journey, his sights were set on more than just the region he called home. He wanted to travel the world and see all the wonders it could hold. After some training, he set off for the Kanto Region, where he began travelling and taking on the Indigo League Gym Circuit. In Pewter City, he defeated the Gym Leader and earned the Boulder Badge.
After that, he began wondering about his options on what to do next. Not simply what Gym to take on, but what he wanted to do on his journey otherwise. It was in Pewter that he began to study Pokemon Breeding, and began working to become a Pokemon Breeder on his travels.
After earning the Thunder Badge in Vermilion City, he traveled to his former home, the Sevii Islands, where his Cyndaquil, named Kindle, had finally evolved into its final evolutionary stage, Typhlosion. His partner caught the eyes of an old woman, who saw great potential in the Fire Type. She invited Ryan to train under her and help Kindle learn the Ultimate Fire Type Move: Blast Burn.
Two weeks later, the two had mastered the Ultimate Move, and returned to Kanto to continue their Journey. In Saffron City they defeated Sabrina and earned the Marsh Badge, and while there learned of the different sights in the Johto Region. So he boarded the Magnet Train and set off for the Johto Region to continue his journey.
After defeating the Gym Leaders of Azalea and Olivine, he returned home with a special gift in tow, just in time for his little brother's tenth birthday. That gift was a Pokemon Egg he'd bred from his own treasured partner, which soon hatched into a Cyndaquil under his brother's care. Afterward, he returned to his travels through Johto, his sights set on Ecruteak City.
Pokemon:
Kindle ♂
Ability: Blaze Moveset:
Focus Blast
Swift
Flamethrower
Blast Burn
Background Info: Kindle was Ryan's Starter Pokemon, and has been with him throughout his entire journey. He is his number one irreplaceable partner and friend, and is one of his strongest Pokemon on his team. The two started off rocky, but over time their bond has become clear, and anyone who doesn't see it is blind. Kindle learned the Ultimate Fire Type Attack, Blast Burn, from training with Ryan under a woman named Kimberly while in the Sevii Islands.
Claira ♀
Ability: Synchronize Moveset:
Psybeam
Future Sight
Morning Sun
Shadow Ball
Background Info: Claira was one of Ryan's first Breeding successes, and she was originally intended for a Trainer he'd bred his Jolteon and Leafeon for. However, Claira was extremely shy, which the trainer was not fond of. He left the Eevee under Ryan's care, whom she bonded closely with, which eventually led to her evolving into an Espeon. While she is powerful, she is still extremely wary and shy with strangers.
Badges/Achievements: Kanto Gym Badges
Boulder Badge
Thunder Badge
Marsh Badge
Johto Gym Badges
Hive Badge
Mineral Badge
Notes:
Ryan has multiple Pokemon that he rotates in and out every so often, save for two. Kindle the Typhlosion, his Starter Pokemon, and Claira the Espeon, his first successful Bred Pokemon.
While he is on a journey to collect Gym Badges, it isn't a priority to him. It's far from the last thing on his mind, but it's not the first either.
Personality: Bryce was once a young man filled with determination to fulfill his dreams. He wouldn't give up no matter what, even a crippling injury didn't keep him from trying. However, time and many failures have taken their toll, and he has begun to doubt himself and his abilities as a Trainer. He's nearly given up on the dreams he once carried with him, and his only motivation for continuing his journey is his Pokemon. He's willing to risk anything for them, and as long as they're happy, he's content. He'll put on a facade for those around him, but his Pokemon know the real him.
History: Bryce was the second born in the Crest Family, being born two years after his sister Lynn. Being born in Dewford, Bryce grew up around many different species of Pokemon. However, that didn't interest him. What he was interested in was the Water. Yes, from the moment he could swim, that's all that was on his mind. He wanted to get faster, stronger, and one day become the greatest swimmer in Hoenn.
Over the years, he and his sister took very different paths. On her tenth birthday, she left on a Pokemon Journey to become a Top Coordinator, while he continued training in his own way. He'd mastered several different swimming techniques by the time he was twelve, which had caught the notice of the Hoenn Olympic Team. In a shocking turn, he was offered a spot on the team, which he happily accepted. He could hear the crowds cheering his name, the best swimmer in Hoenn. He had to keep working, it wouldn't be long now. Just a few more weeks...
He had no idea how long he'd been out for. He looked around him. It looked like a hospital room. He could see his parents and sister around him. That's when he received the worst news of his life. While training along a normal swimming route, he had been attacked by a Wild Pokemon. He was found by a passing vessel, and brought to Slateport Hospital, where they barely saved his left leg, which was the most damaged. Only a week away, he had to drop out from the team to recover. He hoped that he would be ready for the next one. But, try as he might, he could never again swim the same again.
His dream was shattered, he had no goal in life. He had nothing to strive for now. That was when his sister tried once more to encourage him to go on his own Pokemon Journey, showing him a live Championship Battle in the Hoenn League. A Trainer had come to challenge the Hoenn League Champion, Steven Stone, for his title. He watched, and slowly he began to see how the crowds reacted to each blow. The power of the Champion prevailed, and Steven held his title. Not only that, but Bryce now had a new goal in life. To become a powerful Pokemon Trainer, and hear the roar of the crowds like they cheered on then.
After he recovered as fully as possible from his injuries, he set off on his own Pokemon Journey, choosing a Mudkip he would name Moss from the three Hoenn Starter Pokemon. He quickly gained a loyal friend in an Electrike he would name Striker, and continued training, catching, and battling his way to the Hoenn League. However, he lost in his Qualifying Round. He would not be easily deterred, however, and continued his journey to the Kanto Region to take on the Indigo League.
On this journey he would encounter a Shiny Eevee being hunted by a Pokemon Poacher, whom he defended it against. This Eevee decided to join Bryce on his team after seeing his heroics, and he named her Maya. Later on his journey, he came across three stones: A Fire Stone, Water Stone, and Thunder Stone. He decided to give Maya the choice of Evolution, and she chose the path of Fire.
Building up his team once again, he challenged the Indigo League, and placed in the Top 32. He still didn't win, but he was improving, and making his name known. Next he traveled to Unova, and challenged the League there as he had done before. However, much to his dismay, he lost his Qualifying Match once more. He was decimated, like his new dream had been pulled right out from under him. Unsure of how to proceed at this point, he looked to his Pokemon, who urged him to continue. And so he did, deciding to give it one more chance, one more shot to make his dream come true. He didn't have much hope...
Pokemon:
Moss ♀
Ability: Torrent Moveset:
Muddy Water
Hydro Pump
Earthquake
Hammer Arm
Background Info: Moss was his Starter Pokemon, and has been with Bryce throughout his whole journey. She can be rather rude and blunt at times, and this only seemed to get worse as she evolved. Deep down she's a team player, though. She seems to have some sort of rivalry with her teammate Maya the Flareon, putting the two at ends with each other often.
Maya ♀
Ability: Flash Fire Moveset:
Flamethrower
Fire Blast
Shadow Ball
Dig
Background Info: As an Eevee, Maya had a hard life. Before meeting Bryce, she was hunted mercilessly by a Pokemon Poacher. Bryce came across her hurt and exhausted just as the Poacher was about to make the catch, and easily sent the criminal packing. After this, she joined Bryce for saving her life, joining his team. When she was given the choice of what to evolve into by Bryce between the three Kanto Eeveelutions, she chose to use a Fire Stone and evolve into Flareon. She's his pride and joy, and is always by his side. She has a rivalry with Moss, putting the two at odds with each other more times than not.
Striker ♂
Ability: Lightning Rod Moveset:
Thunder Wave
Thunderbolt
Thunder
Flamethrower
Background Info: Stiker was the first Pokemon Bryce caught on his journey in the Hoenn Region. Right away he proved to be a staple member of his team, earning many victories along their journey. He's a Pokemon Bryce wouldn't know what to do without, and is still as loyal to him today as he's always been. He's the last of the three Pokemon Bryce always has on his team, and generally has to act as the voice of reason in the quarrels between Maya and Moss.

Notes:
His Loss in the Unova League was a case of pure luck, yet he doesn't seem to realize that, and places the loss solely on his lack of skill as a Trainer.
There are always three Pokemon he takes with him through his journey. Moss, his Starter. Striker, his first catch and loyal partner. And Maya, his pride and joy and one of his most faithful companions.
Bryce doesn't remember the attack, but has developed a fear of Sharpedo after learning it was the likely culprit. He will dodge conversations concerning them, and will become tense if he glimpses even the faint fin of one in the water.
While he has two Pokemon capable of Mega Evolution, he himself does not possess a Key Stone nor the required Mega Stones.
It was actually Striker the Manectric who taught Maya how to use Flamethrower after she evolved into a Flareon.
In "Legendary Guardians", Bryce became bonded with the Seafaring Pokemon Manaphy, becoming one of the Mythical Legendary Guardians of Viore.
Personality: Luna is generally a very outgoing and social girl, and has made many friends in her time. She's often ready to lend a helping hand to someone who needs it, but normally doesn't go completely out of her way to help someone she doesn't know. She'll always be there for a friend. She has a lot of enthusiasm about her, but can be discouraged fairly easily. She'll soon snap back to her senses, however, and be ready for whatever life throws her way next. Usually.
History: Luna was born into the Muuya Family on Akala Island. She was raised in Heahea City by her parents and her grandmother who lived nearby. She was a relatively normal girl and lived a relatively normal life. It was nothing spectacular or world changing, but it was life.
She would end up attending the Trainer's School on Melemele Island alongside other kids her age, many of whom she would become good friends with as time passed on. She learned much from her experiences, among them the basics of being a Pokemon Trainer.
Around the age of nine, she met a wild Popplio on the beach near her home, and the two became what she could call friends. Every day, after school, the two would meet and play on the beach until sundown. However, one day when she arrived, the Water Type wasn't there. She set off along the coast searching for it, having a bad gut feeling something had happened to it. Her gut was right, and she found it beaten and bruised on a craggy portion of the beach.
After rushing it to the nearby Pokemon Center, Nurse Joy came to the conclusion that the Popplio, who she also confirmed was a she, had been bashed along the rocky coast by waves caused by a storm the night before. After she treated her wounds, Luna brought her home for the night where she recovered. After that night, the Popplio began to follow Luna everywhere, which eventually led Luna to officially capture the Water Type, naming her Torrent.
After that, her journey as a Pokemon Trainer had officially begun. Her team grew quickly on her adventures. First she would meet a Bounsweet after becoming lost in Lush Jungle, who admired Luna for her courage in protecting her injured partner when they came under attack by Wild Pokemon. Next would be a very lively bundle of energy, a Rockruff who quite literally fell into her lap from a cliff. The Rock Type bonded very quickly with her, and joined her team later that day.
Her latest addition was an Alolan Vulpix named Flake, who belonged to Luna's Grandmother. She ended up passing away quite suddenly a few weeks before Luna's eleventh birthday, and left the Ice Type to her granddaughter in her will. It was hard for both of them to cope with, more so for Flake. Later that week, Luna would also find a strange Sparkling Stone left on her doorstep. Finding this meant a great deal to her.
Following her eleventh birthday, Luna earned the right to take on the Alolan Island Challenge, bearing a Z-Ring made from the Sparkling Stone by the Island Kahuna Olivia. She faced the Trial at Brooklet Hill, doing battle against the Totem Pokemon, Wishiwashi. After a hard fought battle, Luna and her Pokemon emerged victorious, earning a Waterium-Z Crystal afterwards.
However, after witnessing the power of the Totem Pokemon first hand, Luna is unsure of how to proceed from here. Should she continue her Island Challenge, or was there something else for her in the big wide world? For the first time in her life, she hadn't a clue what she was going to do, now.
Pokemon:
Torrent ♀
Ability: Torrent Moveset:
Water Gun
Aqua Jet
Pound
Disarming Voice
Z-Move: Hydro Vortex Background Info: Torrent was Luna's first Pokemon, having bonded with her after she saved its life after it had been badly injured in a storm. It is up for debate if she is her strongest Pokemon, being able to use Hydro Vortex in combination with Waterium-Z. While she is the main partner of Luna, she doesn't think of herself any more than her teammates, as they all share Luna's trust and friendship together. She is quick to tire, however, especially after having used her newly acquired Z-Move.
Sola ♀
Ability: Sweet Veil Moveset:
Razor Leaf
Synthesis
Sweet Scent
Rapid Spin
Background Info: Luna met Sola when she was lost in Lush Jungle while searching for berries and herbs. At first the Bounsweet was unsure about this human, but after seeing how she treated her Pokemon, she approached her and guided her out of the Jungle. Curious, Luna wondered why a Wild Pokemon would help her out of the blue. Then, she asked if she wanted to come with them, and the grass type accepted. After that, she became the mature, somewhat motherly figure of the team, trying to keep everyone in line, safe, and healthy.
Flake ♀
Ability: Snow Cloak Moveset:
Powder Snow
Ice Shard
Icy Wind
Roar
Background Info: Flake originally belonged to Luna's Grandmother. However, she passed away quite suddenly, but left Flake to her granddaughter. Because of such a sudden transition, Flake has yet to fully trust Luna. She often remains rather quiet, but is far from shy. She gets along well with Luna's other Pokemon, and is a rather hard worker when need be. She does have trouble letting go of her past, something that no one ever really has an easy time with.
Hound ♂
Ability: Keen Eye Moveset:
Rock Throw
Sand Attack
Bite
Howl
Background Info: Hound quite literally fell into Luna's life one day, having been knocked off a cliff by something, or someone, and landing right in Luna's lap. He quickly grew fond of her (Very Quickly), and before either of them knew it he was a part of the team. He's a bundle of energy that can never sit still. He's either running around or destroying the backyard. He doesn't seem to know his own limits, which is both a good and bad thing, as he can over-exert himself easily. However, he is a force to be reckoned with in battle, and few have the stamina to match his seemingly endless energy.
Badges/Achievements: Alolan Island Challenge
Brooklet Hill - Waterium-Z
Notes:
Luna has not captured a single Pokemon she owns through battle. Torrent, Sola, and Hound she befriended and they would later join her team, and Flake was gifted to her by her late grandmother.
She is good friends with other trainers her age such as Mallow and Lana from Melemele Island.
While Flake will follow Luna's instruction, the girl has yet to truly bond with her grandmother's Pokemon.
In "Legendary Guardians", Luna became bonded with the Melody Pokemon Meloetta, becoming one of the Mythical Legendary Guardians of Viore.
Personality: Brent is a level headed, down to earth kind of kid. While he is open minded, he is often quite skeptical of outrageous claims or mystical ancient legends that have no real proof to back them up. He believes that everything can be explained through some sort of science or reason. He's usually a pretty friendly guy to get along with, and has plenty of friends. But watch out if you try to debate something with him, he'll find a way to prove you wrong and then some.
History: Brent was the second born in the Ignia family, being born six years after his older brother Ryan. His parents, Leon and Michelle Ignia, had lived in Stormbutte City for a few years now, having moved to the Viore Region from the Sevii Islands. As he grew up, it wasn't normally his parents taking care of him. His father was the assistant of the Region's Pokemon Professor, and his mother had recently become the foreman of the Stormbutte Power Plant. Instead, his brother Ryan was the one who would most often take care of him, teaching him important skills such as how to cook and some decent personal hygiene.
When Brent finally started attending Trainer's School, his brother headed off on his Pokemon Journey, leading to his father and mother taking more responsibility, and time off. His father would recount the numerous tales he'd learned of Viore's Ancient Past, tales of unbelievable adventures and strange magic and abilities that none today have uncovered. Heroes and Villains, massive battles and conflicts. To just about any kid they would have clung to every word. Brent... was not any kid.
He never believed many of the more outrageous legends, like the one about the ten heroes chosen by fate to defeat an evil king with a powerful dragon. All they were, he believed, were stories meant to thrill the kids and instill them with a sense of adventure as they grew older. His inspiration didn't come from that, however. He wanted to be like his brother, who'd begun challenging Gyms in the Kanto and Johto Regions.
On his tenth birthday, his brother gave him his first Pokemon, or rather what would become his first Pokemon. He had gifted him a Pokemon Egg bred from his own Starter, Typhlosion. Within days the Egg had hatched into a Cyndaquil, whom Brent went on to nickname Cinder. There was only one thing left to do. A couple days later, he and his father headed to New Amber Town, so Brent could receive a Pokedex and start his journey. While there, Brent met who would become his travelling companions. Three Johto Natives who had come to Viore: Lily Meadows, Devon Lyton, and Celes Elwyn.
The group headed off towards Vertigo City while it was still daylight, but came under attack by a strange group called Royal Skies. They escaped with an injured Shaymin, and made it to a Pokemon Center as the sun set. The next day, Brent watched a fierce battle between Devon and a Trainer named Brooks, before the group continued on to Vertigo City.
Pokemon:
Cinder ♂
Ability: Blaze Moveset:
Ember
Tackle
Quick Attack
Smokescreen
Background Info: Cinder was bred by Brent's brother Ryan from his Typhlosion, Kindle. He was gifted to Brent as an Egg for his Tenth Birthday, and was hatched under his care. The world around him is a big mystery to him for the most part, save for what he's learned by watching Human TV. He also has a tendency to pull pranks on his trainer, usually giving him an unwanted wake up call courtesy of an Ember to Brent's backside. It's all in good fun, and nothing can tear those two apart.
Badges/Achievements: Viore League Badges
Notes:
While his father studied Pokemon alongside Professor Maple, he was never around enough to really teach Brent any advanced facts or tricks when it came to being a Pokemon Trainer.
Brent doesn't disregard all legends and stories. For example, the story about a great civil war in ancient times, ended by one king, is one he believes, as there is proof of this war. He's still not sure about if how it ended is true, though.
In "Legendary Guardians", Brent became bonded with the Victory Pokemon Victini, becoming one of the Mythical Legendary Guardians of Viore.
