However, he does enjoy spending time with friends and can hold himself in a conversation. Especially with topics that he is knowledgeable about. Alexander is an inquisitive soul who likes to learn and figure things out. While he does read books and can be called a bookworm. He has started to see things for himself and study in the field. Gathering knowledge from first hand experience and enjoys it. Also, Alexander cares about people and Pokemon and is willing to help those in need, even if in dangerous situations at times. Though after one such dangerous situation. He has learned to be more careful and to at least think about it if possible, and he has a small fear of Rhydons. Also, he feels somewhat of an outcast in his hometown of Tohjo City given his desire to see the world and meet outsiders. Which he ends up spending time with his grandmother, who both understands and encourages him.
Hometown:Tohjo City
Background:Alexander was born to a wealthy family in Tohjo City and the eldest of three. Alexnader's family, while now native, were initially from the Hoenn before moving to Tohjo City a century ago. Though now his family are treated as normal citizens and not outsiders for the most part. But knowledge of his heritage did make him wonder about the outside world. What lies beyond the city, and what mysteries lie in the outside world. The first mystery he was fascinated by is the massive tower in Tohjo City that is said to have a summonable deity at the top.
Which as he grew over the years. This curiosity grew, and he started asking his parents questions about Hoenn and the outside world. Despite the advice of his parents, would try to dissuade the thought. Alexander went to the only person he knew whom he could talk about this and had traveled around was his grandmother.
For his grandmother and late grandfather, in their youth, had traveled the world before returning to Tohjo City. So Alexander started to talk and listen to the stories his grandmother had while traveling the world. He listened intently, and it only fueled his desire to explore the world outside of Tohjo City. Along with sparking an interest in Pokemon since the tales of the different Pokemon his grandmother had seen and even kept one as a companion from Hoenn. An now old Flygon named Iona.
His grandmother encouraged him to see the outside world for himself, but he should be prepared first and have a companion. So Alexander, now wanting to learn about Pokemon and explore the outside world with his parents's blessing, started to prepare himself by enrolling at the Tohjo City Pokemon Academy. Which he earned high grades, and he started to think about what he really wanted to be. To want to see the world is one thing, but what will he do after that or during? So, after thinking about and with his desire to see all sorts of Pokemon and what he can learn about the outside world. He realized he could to be a Pokemon researcher or even a professor and felt that one way he could learn more about Pokemon was by battling with one. Learning how to care for one and seeing how they develop as they grow alongside a trainer. Along with studying and learning the mysteries and lore of both his home region and beyond.
So, now determined in his goals, Alexander, before heading to the mainland, he thought about practicing studying Pokemon and went to the nearby Seawalk caverns. He brought a friend with him, and as he was looking for a Pokemon. Did he see a fight going on between a Rhydon and a Loudred. Rather than keep his distance or get away from the fight. Alexander got closer to better observe the fight and noticed there was a hurt Noibat on the ground near the fighting pokemon.
Alexander, not wanting to see the Noibat hurt further, without thinking, he made a dash to get the Noibat to safety, and as he was picking it up. He felt a sharp pain on his back, as the Rhydon had missed the Loudred and hit Alexander instead. Cutting his back, and despite the pain, he made it out with his friend to Tohjo City where he was treated for his wound and treated the Noibat. His parents were furious about how reckless he was and could have died despite trying to save a Pokemon. They threatened to not support him financially when he started to explore the outside world and become a Pokemon researcher.
Still, this did not change how Alexander felt about his dreams, and he thought that perhaps he did not need his parent's money to do what he wanted and after making sure the Noibat he found was okay. He realized she did not want to leave him as he tried to release her back into the Seawalk caverns, and she would always fly back to him every time. Seeing how he has a Pokemon and after awkwardly catching her with a pokemon ball. Did he start to plan how to get the money to support his goals.
Either by luck or fate, Alexander would get a call from Professor Camphor about a job because of his high grades at the Tohjo City Pokemon Academy. Seeing his chance, he accepted the offer and now heads to the professor's lab to formally start working for her and helping her research. While becoming a Pokemon researcher/professor and trainer in the process.
Kind of Pokémon you like:Alexander prefers Pokemon that are not aggressive and can be friendly to people and other Pokemon. Ones that can co-exist with others in nature. Along with being interested in Pokemon that are mysterious or had an influence in folklore or myth. Like Flygon being called the Desert Spirit. Also, Alexander likes Pokemon that could be considered noble and have dark-ish colors.
Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other: Alexander wishes to be a Pokemon Researcher/Professor and Trainer who would like to reach the Elite Four if possible. Along with exploring the world and studying what mysteries and lore he can find. Starting with his home region and studying the Pokemon that he sees.
