Name: Marshall Kentrick
Age: 38
Region of Origin: Sinnoh
Role: Headmaster
Bio: From the day he was old enough to understand it, Marshall wanted nothing more than to be a Pokemon trainer. Like all trainers, he wanted to become the greatest of all someday, but the true appeal to him was the adventure. Traveling the world, throwing yourself into battle, experiencing things no book or classroom could ever impart... Truly, the world was always a playground for him. He traveled far and wide, becoming an exceptional trainer through his years of effort. What he lacked in formal training, he made up for in an unyielding spirit and an unquenchable thirst for his next grand adventure. Through the years, he gained many Pokemon partners, even tragically losing some along the way. He fought many battles both small and grand, and more than once he even dared to challenge a region's Elite Four! Sadly, he never became a Champion.
As time went on and the years began to pile on, travel became harder, and his beloved partners were growing tired. Eventually, he decided that it was time for a well-deserved rest. Booking a ticket, he traveled to the beautiful Alola region, and even though he'd gone to relax, the sight of the wonderful islands only further fueled his child-like desire to adventure once again. He eventually set out to complete the Trials, and upon his success, he even challenged the Elite Four once again. This time, he managed to win, and at last he stood face-to-face with a Champion. The battle was the greatest of his life, and though it ended in his loss, he knew he'd never forget it.
Nor would the Kahunas, it seemed. As he made to leave, they approached him and requested that he remain behind to teach in the Pokemon Academy, formerly the Trainer's School. The current Headmaster of the time was set to retire, and a suitable replacement had yet to be found. The Kahunas agreed that Marshall would make an excellent instructor, both for his experience and for how clearly he cared for people and Pokemon - namely his own. After some thought, he finally agreed, and the very next year, he took up the mantle of Headmaster.
It has now been five years since he came to Alola, and not once has he regretted his decision. Between the wonderful wilds of the islands and the joys of seeing his students rise from humble beginnings to trainers overflowing with potential, he knows to this day that he made the right decision.
Marshall's TeamPartner Pokemon: Infernape (Male)
Moveset and Ability: Blaze
Close Combat
Bulk Up
Flamethrower
Mach Punch
Bio: Marshall's very first Pokemon and long-time partner. A very serious Pokemon with a warrior mindset, Infernape will not fight seriously against those it does not deem worthy. He and Marshall are inseparable.
Pokemon #2: Mawile (Female)
Moveset and Ability: Hyper Cutter
Play Rough
Crunch
Iron Defense
Baton Pass
Bio: Much more playful and demure than her frightening maw makes her appear, Mawile enjoys being among people and excitement. To this end, she'll often sneak out on her own, occasionally spotted among the students in the dorms or sneaking food from the cafeteria.
Pokemon #3: Luxray (Male)
Moveset and Ability: Rivalry
Scary Face
Electric Terrain
Thunder Fang
Swagger
Bio: One of Marshall's first Pokemon caught in his adventures, Luxray has always been competitive to a fault. He never turns down a challenge and constantly works to prove he's the strongest. Luxray and Infernape share a long-standing rivalry.
Pokemon #4: Tsareena (Female)
Moveset and Ability: Queenly Majesty
Trop Kick
High Jump Kick
Aromatherapy
Captivate
Bio: One of the Pokemon to join Marshall after he began his Alolan adventures, Tsareena believes herself to be the undisputed queen of the Academy. While she does care for those around her, she does so from a very clear position of self-proclaimed superiority. A very sore loser.
