okay so I was thinking, I think it'd be interesting if Evian's parents also paid your character handsomely (he probably needs money to fund his research and his own expenses too, right?) and in return for keeping watch over their son, asked him to make sure that Evian was keeping up to par with battling and catching dragon types. As the two guys work on their friendship (and Evian slowly but surely becomes a good person lolz), I feel like it might add an interesting drama element later on. I just love putting in little betrayals and stuff, makes for interesting scenarios. What do you think?

Today was the day. Today was the day he officially eschewed his normal, casual, lounging clothes for sleek and atheltic trainer gear. Today was the day he traded his bedroom for a tent, his house for the outdoors, and his impatience for excitement. He was 18, old enough to be a trainer, and absolutely thrilled. Hailing from the mountains of Blackthorn, he had already been all over the Johto region thanks to his well-off parents and their support. He'd wanted to have a change of scenery, and enter a world unknown. The Alola region was perfect for that. It was the classic island getaway of the pokemon world, and he wanted to lose himself in the beauty of it all.
This was not without a condition, however. His parents came from a long line of dragon tamers, and to uphold tradition, they were sending him on his own journey to master dragon pokemon. He didn't actually want to become a dragon tamer, but he didn't feel like he had a choice. If there was anyone Evian didn't want to dissapoint, it was his parents. They had always been amazing to him, spoiled him, and well, how could he say no to them? They'd even arranged for him to have a starter that would become a dragon type. Things were certainly set in stone for him. They'd insisted that he just take one of the family pokemon, but Evian had been firm. He wanted the whole trainer shebang. So, okay, he'd be getting a dragon type. Still, he could deal with dragon types. At least it meant he could go on his journey.
He was fortunate. Most people didn't have the luxury of their parents supporting them on their journey. Being a trainer was hard. If one wasn't gifted in battling, contests, or performances, their shot at earning prize money and paving the way for themselves was obliterated. For trainers who weren't lucky enough to fund themselves, sometimes they were lucky enough to get sponsorships from bigger companies. Those trainers had it set, paid to travel, battle, perform-- wherever the company needed them, they went with an all-expenses paid trip to boot. Not to mention the fame. Other who weren't good enough for sponsorships tried working in cities and saving up before moving on their travels. Even that got old though. Well, it wouldn't happen to him. Ha, as if he'd have to work. Evian wasn't grateful for his fortune, he just believed he deserved it.
Alola was beautiful. It was so lush and green, flatter than the mountains of Blackthorn though he could see the peaks of some green gray mountains in the distance. He walked straight up to the lab. The lab was on the beach, right next to the ocean. It was sunny, breezy, and peachy. What a day. He was so excited. He smoothed his hair, then ruffled it, trying to make it appear casually bedhead. He had to look cool. His almond shaped eyes lighted up as an aide greeted him.
"Welcome," he sniffled, a scratchy voice that sounded permanently affected by allergies. "And you are...?"
"Evian! Evian Zephyr Flythe. I'm from Blackthorn, and I have a reservation for my pokedex and starter pokemon..." He placed a hand on his hip. "Well?"
"Juuuust one moment," the aide replied stuffily, the light reflecting off his glasses. "I'll get your pokedex and pokemon in a moment... Could I have your i.d? I've got to verify who you are." So Evian handed him his i.d.
"Think you can hurry it up? I've got places to be," he said impatiently, running his hands through his hair and shaking it once more. He didn't realize how strongly the aide glared. Who had the time for that anyways?
"Here you are," the aide said curtly, dropping a pokedex, 6 pokeballs, and his i.d. "Well, you're almost done here. Try to mind your manners from now on."
Evian laughed loftily. "Oh please, what's that supposed to mean? I'll be taking my leave now. Good bye-"
"No no, you can't go yet," the aide interrupted, catching Evian by surprised. His face, which always seemed to have a smile on it, contorted into a look of annoyance.
"What do you mean, I can't leave?" Evian asked, irate. "Whatever is the matter?"
The aide had to stop himself from grinning. Clearly this jerk hadn't received the memo from mommy and daddy. "Well, you see, we were given strict instructions here. Your parents don't want you to leave the lab without a partner. They asked for us to arrange a partner for you, and so we have to wait on them."
Evian's mouth fell open in disbelief. He tried to look cool and composed most of the time but this was genuinely news to him. His parents didn't usually just spring things on him randomly either. "Partner? Me? You must be mistaken. I don't need a partner-"
"Well why don't you give them a call if you don't believe us?" The aide asked. Evian crossed his arms loftily.
"Fine," he replied. "I will. You'll see. You've got the wrong trainer."
Twenty minutes later he was irate beyond belief. Mom and Dad had definitely arranged for him to get a stupid partner and they weren't budging. Damn. Who knew when his partner would show up? His dear partner... he'd have to get rid of them. And fast. His precious time was wasting and this was unacceptable. He stood, feet apart, hands on his hips, head haughtily turned up. He was trying to think of a way to convince them he didn't need a partner. The insinuation, as if he needed someone to look out for him? Please.
"How about instead of standing, you take a seat and get to know your pokemon," the aide suggested, trying his hardest not to laugh. Oh he loved seeing youngsters get put in their place.
"I guess even you've got valuable advice for young people like me, I'll be outside by the way," Evian quipped quickly. Before the aide even had a chance to reply, or realize what had been said, Evian was out the door. He pressed the release button on his ball. In a flash of light, his pokemon appeared! It was a funny looking, but cute creature. Round and blue with a white beak and wings that looked like big feathery puffs of cotton. It chirped, letting out a musical lilt. Well this... didn't look like a dragon. It was cute but, had his parents made a mistake? He wasn't that well versed in dragon types, even though his family had harked so much about it, because he'd never wanted to pay attention to them in the first place. As such, he only knew his family's limited amount of pokemon, and not really any other kinds. He blinked, opening up his pokedex.
"Swablu, the cotton bird pokemon. Swablu has light and fluffy wings that are like cottony clouds. This Pokémon is not frightened of people. It lands on the heads of people and sits there like a cotton-fluff hat." His pokedex prattled electronically. On the screen was a fullshot of his pokemon, and just beyond it, the evolution... but he didn't look. He didn't want to. He didn't want to see the scaly dragon it became. He turned off his pokedex. He loved it just the way it was, and he was going to enjoy his little blue bird.
"Why, hello there," he smiled, raising his arm and extending it. The swablu chirped and landed on his forearm, small but strong claws digging in firmly. "I think... I think I'm going to call you Aria." The newly christened Aria fluffed her wings, preening herself. She chirped once more. Oh no, she was just too pretty. Come to think of it, he'd always liked bird like pokemon. He felt a feeling unfolding in him. Evian the bird trainer. How did that sound?

Great! Okay, well, I'll put up a first post!
I guess that could work, even though I kind of hate shiny altaria's lol I think... Well I haven't divulged into Evian's background yet, but I'm thinking, they're funding his journey (he's a prissy rich kid whatcanyado) so I think this could work: Evian is their only child, and he's in a region all the way away from home, so they arranged with Kukui for Evian to have a partner on his journey until he caught more pokemon. That's where your character comes in. That'll keep them together! And they'll become better friends over time. :3 How is that? Or we can do the shiny swablu thing, whichever you prefer. I honestly don't mind!
Oh, right, guess I should start posting OOC in here instead of the PMs! So I'll rephrase what I said. Okay so I looked at our characters. they're not the type to travel together or even be friends, but this is also great because they can develop a good friendship over time as they decide to trust each other more! I love doing roleplays like that, but I wonder how they're going to travel together. We may need to come up with something to keep them together?
Character Sheet
Name: Evian Zephyr Flythe
Age: 18
Pokemon Team: Aria the Swablu (F), ability: Natural Cure, Attacks: sing, mirror move, twister, mist
(to be caught: Blaziken, Decidueye, Empoleon, Porygon-z, Sigilyph)
Personality: Intelligent, and boasting a refined taste to boot, Evian's as sly as they come. His good traits are often overshadowed by an air of arrogance. He thinks and acts on his own, keeping things to himself, making it difficult for him to open up to people or for people to understand him. He also tends to tease relentlessly. Evian rarely gets truly worked up about anything, usually faking it even when he appears to be exerting effort. These snobby qualities always make him appear condescending and antagonistic. He's an advocate of carrying his own burden, which makes him independent, but also come off as selfish. He won't even help someone out unless they've got a price to offer. Deep down, he's lonely and stressed out about his pokemon journey. He's also jaded by the misconception that he may never be accepted by his parents (whom he truly loves). He projects it on to others, and assumes no one can understand him. A good point about Evian is that since he's decent at reading people, he's pretty good at making them feel better when they're sad. He's not anti-social at all, and can keep a pretty good conversation going. Truth be told, he's interested in people, maybe it's because he's lonely. He likes playing light hearted pranks sometimes as well.
Appearance (description or picture): Jet black spiky hair, light brown almond shaped eyes, 5'7, has the kind of face that always seems to be in a smile. (will post a picture soon!)
