Username: Silver_Rockstar318 Character Name: Hoshikage Reika Miyazaki Age: 23 History: Reika Miyazaki was born in Mahogany Town in the Johto region. Her family, consisting of her mother and father, grandfather, three sisters and two brothers, were all raised in the way of the ninja, feeling right at home in the quiet town of Mahogany. As each of the children came of age, they would go off to hone their skills in the wild, staying away from home to train for an entire year. When Reika turned 14, she was told her time had come and was forced to leave her home. Her family had provided an unnamed Zubat to aide her on her quest. Roaming around the Johto wilderness was not always easy, but the young Reika always persevered. However, she was forbidden from catching any wild Pokemon. She had crossed over into Kanto at one point in time, eventually finding herself in Viridian forest, where she would meet a ninja from another family, Janine. Despite being much younger and much less experienced, Reika challenged the other ninja to a Pokemon battle... a battle she lost miserably. Not one for giving up easily, Reika then challenged Janine to a real fight, which Janine respectfully declined. Instead, the daughter of Koga offered a chance to train at her Gym in Fuchsia City. The young Miyazaki could not, though, until her year-long training was complete, but she left giving her word to Janine that she would indeed see her again. After her training was finished, Reika, now 15, returned home to her family, who had been waiting for her with open arms and wide smiles. Seeing that she had improved physically, mentally, and spiritually, as well as getting her Zubat to evolve into Golbat, her parents knew that she had grown into a fine young ninja, and advanced her to the rank of Hoshikage. Their celebration didn't last long, however, when Reika told them of her meeting with Janine, daughter of the legendary ninja Koga. She told them she planned on training even more, with Janine as her mentor, and she had already planned to leave for Fuchsia as soon as possible. Her family understood, as they thought it was for the best for their daughter, and allowed her to go. Traveling on foot, Reika and her Golbat eventually reached the stony city of Fuchsia, where they would meet Janine at her gym. After rigorous training sessions, the young girl mastered many different ninja techniques, such as transformation (a skill that Janine taught all of her understudies) and invisibility. Reika spent 4 years as an understudy at the Fuchsia City Gym, during which her Golbat evolved into Crobat (which Reika named after her mentor, Janine). Reika soon decided, however, that there was more to her life than remaining in Janine's shadow. After a long discussion with her mentor, Reika left the gym in search of her own destiny, thinking it was best to travel to other regions to find her calling. After all, she had already seen all of Kanto and Johto. Her first stop was in Sinnoh, the ship she was riding landing in Canalave City, where she decided to begin her new journey across this new region. Thinking it was best to expand her team, for all she had was her Crobat, she searched for a suitable Pokemon to capture. She found such a Pokemon in Skorupi, and caught one immediately. Favoring the Poison-type, as is typical for a ninja, she spent some time wandering around Sinnoh for more possible additions to her team. After a few months, she figured her time in Sinnoh was well spent, and decided to embark to another faraway region. With her trusty Crobat and Skorupi by her side, she boarded the next ship headed towards the Unova region. Shortly upon arriving in Unova, stepping off into Castelia City, the young Hoshikage, now 20, begun her quest for self-discovery within this region. She was able to catch a few Poison-types, but decided that it'd be best to broaden her horizons by catching other such Pokemon. After assembling a good team, she realized she hadn't really tested her mettle in battle since she began her journey away from home. Making her way to Striaton City, she battled her way through the Unova League, conquering gym after gym, until she finally made it to the Elite Four. She had bested the Elites, having only minor difficulties with one of them. Still, she felt proud of herself for her achievements, and knew that her family would be just as happy for her. That is, until she found out she had one more opponent to face... the Unova League Champion, Captain Andrew Samberg. Despite battling valiantly, Reika ultimately lost the battle against the Champion. Utterly crushed that she could not best him, the ninja hung her head in shame, prepared to simply walk out and disappear. However she was stopped by the Champion, who congratulated her on an impressive battle. She was even more stunned when Samberg gave her an offer to join the Elite Four, as one of the Elites at that time was ready to retire. Tears streaming down her face in happiness, she accepted wholeheartedly, taking her place on the mantle of the greatest trainers in all of Unova. She had finally found her calling. Three years after accepting the position at the Pokemon League headquarters, Reika has honed her skills, both in Pokemon battles and her own ninja abilities, and has defeated many others looking to challenge her. She keeps in contact with her family back in Mahogany Town regularly, innocently bragging about her accomplishments. To say that they've never been more proud of their daughter would be an understatement, though they certainly wished she would have found this calling a little closer to home. They continue to cheer her on, despite the distance that fate put between them, and Reika continues to press onward to bring honor to her family name. Home Town: Mahogany Town, Johto Position: Unova Elite Four, Fourth Position Personality: She is very friendly towards others, which can seem odd coming from a ninja. However, her solitary training has made her quite shy as well, and she is often seen disappearing from groups of people if she feels uncomfortable. She is especially shy around men, and she turns into a bumbling klutz when she's around one she finds cute. She gets along well with the others in the League, though, and she especially looks up to Captain Andrew, who gave her the opportunity she had longed for. She is also very good at cooking, and regularly makes meals for her companions at the League headquarters. Pokemon:Species; Crobat  Nickname; Janine Gender; Female Ability; Infiltrator Nature; Jolly Moves; Acrobatics, Cross Poison, X-Scissor, Confuse Ray Other; Reika's first Pokemon, which she got when she first began her journey nine years ago. She is very active and playful, but is easily Reika's strongest Pokemon. She has an odd affection for eating bread, especially the sweet kind. Species; Drapion  Nickname; Sasorimaru Gender; Male Ability; Sniper Nature; Serious Moves; Cross Poison, Crunch, Ice Fang, Toxic Spikes Other; Reika's second Pokemon, which she obtained when she ventured into Sinnoh. He is of the shiny variety of Drapion, giving him a deep magenta color on his armor. He enjoys eating just about anything that Reika cooks. Species; Garbodor Nickname; Obutsumaru Gender; Female Ability; Stench Nature; Quiet Moves; Toxic Spikes, Toxic, Venoshock, Payback Other; One of the many Pokemon that Reika caught since her stay in Unova. She tends to be very motherly to the rest of Reika's Pokemon, especially since she had a child of her own. Reika does her best to keep her out of the kitchen... Species; Amoonguss Nickname; Kinokomaru Gender; Female Ability; Effect Spore Nature; Mild Moves; Giga Drain, Toxic, Venoshock, Payback Other; Kinokomaru is among the quieter Pokemon that Reika has, usually spending time alone among the foliage that lines her trainer's E4 room. Despite being a mushroom Pokemon, she is the only vegetarian among the team. Species; Scolipede Nickname; Dokumaru Gender; Male Ability; Poison Point Nature; Adamant Moves; Megahorn, Toxic, Venoshock, Protect Other; Being a Scolipede, Dokumaru is extremely aggressive towards others, especially Pokemon not associated with Reika. He is also of the shiny variety, making him red with blue markings. He enjoys spicy food, especially curry. Stored Pokemon Species; Ferrothorn Nickname; Midori-oh Gender; Male Ability; Iron Barbs Nature; Brave Moves; Curse, Gyro Ball, Power Whip, Payback Other; Midori-oh is generally laid back, usually just hanging around (literally) when nothing's going on. However, he's a vicious battler, and would never back down from a fight. He's never seen eating, and people wonder if he even eats at all. Species; Crustle Nickname; Mushi Gender; Female Ability; Shell Armor Nature; Relaxed Moves; X-Scissor, Rock Wrecker, Counter, Solarbeam Other; Mushi is just as laid back as Midori-oh, if not more so. She also doesn't mind being used as someone's chair every once in a while. She'll eat anything, but she especially loves dry food. Species; Basculin Nickname; Akamaru Gender; Male Ability; Adaptability Nature; Rash Moves; Aqua Tail, Surf, Toxic, Crunch Other; Akamaru, despite being a red-striped Basculin, gets along rather well with his blue-striped counterpart Burumaru. However, when dealing with other blue-striped Basculin, he turns dreadfully ferocious. Species; Basculin  Nickname; Burumaru Gender; Male Ability; Reckless Nature; Adamant Moves; Double-Edge, Waterfall, Aqua Tail, Crunch Other; Burumaru surprisingly gets on well with Akamaru, despite being different breeds of Basculin. He utterly despises other members of the red-striped variety though, and never wastes time when dealing with them. Species; Boldore Nickname; Kibishii Gender; Female Ability; Sand Force Nature; Relaxed Moves; Sandstorm, Stone Edge, Iron Defense, Earthquake Other; One of Reika's newer Pokemon, Kibishii has a bit less battle experience when compared to the rest of them team. However, she has done fairly well for herself so far, and Reika is currently looking for a way to evolve her. Species; Gurdurr Nickname; Kyoryoku Gender; Female Ability; Sheer Force Nature; Naughty Moves; Stone Edge, Force Palm, Payback, Focus Energy Other; Kyoryoku (or just Ryoku for short) joined the team about the same time Kibishii joined. Therefore, she has just as little battle experience as the Boldore. That doesn't mean she can't pack a wallop when she wants to though. Species; Trubbish Nickname; Nokomaru Gender; Male Ability; Stench Nature; Impish Moves; Rollout, Acid Spray, Doubleslap, Recycle Other; Nokomaru is actually Obustumaru's son, which entitles him to being constantly watched by his overprotective mother. He sees Reika more as an older sister than his trainer. He'll eat anything that the others wouldn't dare to. , Cry Camellia(Battle Theme), ASTRAL FINISH!!(Bonus Theme)

 Username: Gromit of VulcanCharacter Name: Irving LombardiAge: 32 (Thirty-two)History: Born in Mistralton City to Vickers Lombardi, a mechanic at the nearby airfield, and Piper "Corsair" Monroe, Irving grew up surrounded by aircraft - whether it was pieces of the fuselage his father brought home to repair or schematics for a prototype fighter plane his mother was looking over, the Lombardi household was always one centred around aviation. Every free moment would be spent watching planes refuelling, taking off, landing - it came as little surprise that when Irving came of age, he chose mainly Flying-type Pokemon to battle with, relying on his starter, Biggs, to balance out the Flying-type's natural weaknesses. He trained and trained and trained, becoming a Flying-type ace, even managing to best the Gym Leaders and Elite Four despite his slight handicap. However, as much as Irving loved to train Pokemon, his first love always has been, and always will be, flying, and the moment he could, he signed up to join the Unova Air Force - while his last name helped with initial impressions, Irving worked hard at his piloting skills, receiving tutelage from anyone and everyone he could in an effort to become better . . . and he did. By the time he was twenty, he was a test pilot for the UAF, and one of the most highly respected air aces in Unova, surpassing even his mother in ability. It was during this period that Irving met his eventual wife, Katherine "Kat" Grumman - she worked for a major aeronautics company that was interested in buying the patent for a technology developed on one of the aircraft Irving was testing, and the moment they met, there was instant electricity. Within the space of a year, they had married and Kat was pregnant with Dorian.
The years after Dorian was born were somewhat hectic - Irving and Kat moved around quite a bit, testing aircraft and negotiating business deals, and quite apart from leaving their child alone, they also began to grow apart - something not helped by the fact that Kat began to suffer from clinical depression and refused to take medication for it, even cheating on Irving in an attempt to feel happy again. Eventually, come Dorian's fifth birthday, the two were at each other's throats, each blaming the other for leaving Dorian with Irving's brother for the last five years. They divorced, the courts granting full custody to Irving thanks to her mental state, and Irving, in a moment of cruelty, told Dorian that his mother had died - intercepting any mail that Kat sent to Dorian, it was easy, if gut-wrenching, for Irving to keep up the lie. To this day, Dorian doesn't know - but it isn't on either of their minds much these days, mainly thanks to Dorian's following a different path to his parents. Irving tried his best to encourage an interest in flying, but Dorian simply didn't take to it, and his first two Pokemon were Ice and Ground-types - neither of which interacts particularly favourably to Flying. Irving's brother appreciates that Dorian wants to carve out his own path, and helped the young boy catch the Cubchoo, but Irving himself, while not having the heart to take the Pokemon from the boy, still feels he's done something wrong for Dorian to stray from his father's path - this, coupled with the overwhelming guilt of the Kat situation, means he and Dorian don't get on too well. However, they are still father and son, and Irving has accepted he must encourage his son in whatever he does; hence why he's decided to drop off the young boy off at the regional and leave him to carve his own path, rather than try to dictate it for the boy.Home Town: Mistralton City, Unova.Gym: Mistralton City - Since the Gym is situated inside an aircraft hangar, Irving's options concerning his Gym gimmick were limited; and so he decided to make the gimmick of the Gym . . . being inside an aircraft hangar. The Gym is among the biggest in Unova, with all sorts of aircraft flanking the challenger as they enter, everything from commercial airliners to fighter craft to light passenger planes. Most of the mechanics and ground crew are Pokemon trainers, and to add to the confusion, the challenger often has to dodge the large propellers and jet engine blasts of the aircraft being serviced. At the far end of the hangar, they must walk down a wind tunnel set at 40mph - once they reach the end of the wind tunnel, they can turn off the fan that was blowing them back . . . which in turn activates a fan concealed beneath their feet. The fan propels them through the air, and plonks them down on a platform where Irving awaits.Badge: Slipstream Badge.Personality: Despite a somewhat strained relationship with his son, Irving gets along well with pretty much everyone - as the oldest Gym Leader, he sees himself as a sort of big brother to them all, always looking out for their wellbeing and supporting them. He also has close links to the Elite Four and Champion, being one of the most regular guests of Andrew Samberg's waterborne parties. It's entirely possible that Irving is so supportive of his fellow Gym Leaders because he doesn't know how to show affection and support with his son in any meaningful way - while they have the typical banter of a father and son, there's an underlying tension to them, mainly thanks to Irving's more than slight disappointment that his son doesn't want to follow in his footsteps. However, if you were ever to bring this up with Irving, he wouldn't take kindly to it - he can have quite the temper if prompted, and his confidence can come across as arrogant sometimes. However, on the whole, he's a perfectly nice man, a big brother figure for the Gym Leaders and a capable pilot to everyone else.Pokemon: Quote: Species: Braviary / Male - Adamant NatureAbility: Defiant - When this Pokemon's stats are lowered, its attack jumps up two stages.Nickname: TyphoonMoves: Superpower / Brave Bird / Return / Shadow ClawOther: Irving's very first Pokemon, and his most loyal and powerful - it is also of the shiny variety, its ruff and back being a deep blue rather than crimson.Appearance:  Species: Emboar / Male - Quiet NatureAbility: Blaze - When HP is below 1/3rd, Fire’s power is boosted by 1.5x.Nickname: BiggsMoves: Superpower / Body Slam / Flare Blitz / Wild ChargeOther: Irving's 'official' starter, and his second most powerful next to Typhoon - is, despite appearances, quite sensitive, and doesn't take comments about his weight very well.Appearance:  Species: Pidgeot / Female - Modest NatureAbility: Big Pecks - This Pokemon's Defense stat cannot be lowered.Nickname: LockheedMoves: Hurricane / Roost / Steel Wing / ReturnOther: N/AAppearance:  Species: Archeops / Male - Bold NatureAbility: Defeatist - When this Pokemon's HP it at half or less of its maximum, its Atk. and Sp.

Unova - Nikki FrazerUsername: Haruhi_Fujioka_08 Character Name: Nicole "Nikki" Frazer Age: 11 History: Nikki Frazer grew up in the quiet town of Nuvema with her Great-Grandmother, "Grammy". Her parents were divorced when she was too young to remember, and now she has no clue where her father could be. She occasionally see's her mother, but most of the time she is away on business. Nikki was extremely close to her great grandmother. No matter what, Grammy was always there for her, and Nikki had come to depend on that. She was strong, smart, determined, stubborn, kind... all things Nikki wished she could be when she grew up. She looked up to the woman, loving her more than anyone else in the world. As Nikki grew up, it became obvious that she had a gift. Even being so young, she was able to bond and befriend Pokemon very easily. She had an easier time talking with Pokemon than she did other people. It was said that she had full conversations with the Pokemon, something most people could never do. Even though she had lots of Pokemon friends, she never caught a single one of them. She knew that bringing a Pokemon home with her would only cause her Grammy more of a burden, since taking care of her was hard enough for a woman of her age. One day, Nikki came home to find that her mother and grandmother were both waiting for her outside, and she knew that couldn't be a good sign. It didn't take the 7-year-old girl long enough to figure out what had happened. Grammy had passed away. The girl shut down, crying only in solitude, never letting anyone see her tears. She wanted to be strong... like Grammy was... but it was a lot more difficult than she had imagined. For years, she stopped talking completely, since talking about it only made her sad... and she knew Grammy would never want her to be sad. She found that the only ones she could talk to comfortably were the Pokemon she had become friends with. Her grandmother, Barbara, moved into Grammy's house, to keep the old place in the family. Along with the house, Barbara also got Nikki, and has been taking care of her ever since. Nikki still misses her Grammy, but is trying her hardest to be a better person because of her experiences. She doesn't have any human friends, but she hopes that that will all change once her Pokemon Journey starts. She is a bit shy, since she has never really had anyone her own age to talk with, but she is braver than your average 11-year-old girl. Her friends wanted to come with her, but Nikki insisted that they stay in Nuvema. No one but Nikki and the Pokemon understood why. She wanted to start out fresh, take on the challenge head-on... she also wanted something/someone in Nuvema to look forward to coming home to. Home Town: Nuvema Town Personality: Shy and a bit reserved but very kind-hearted and brave. Instead of going around her fears, she forces herself to face them and try to better herself as a person. Pokemon:xxxixxxSpecies: Snivy (Male)  Nickname: Nikolai Ability: Overgrow Held Item: None xxxixxxMoves: Tackle, Wrap. Growth, Vine Whip  Species: Lillipup (Male) Nickname: None. Ability: Vital Spirit Held Item: None xxx xxMoves: Take Down, Helping Hand, Odor Sleuth, Bite  Species: Panpour (Female) Nickname: Dory (short for Dorothy) Ability: Gluttony Held Item: None xxxixxxMoves: Water Gun, Leer, Lick, Hydro Pump  Species: Munna (Female) Nickname: Hana Ability: Synchronize xxxixxxHeld Item: None xxxixxxMoves: Psywave, Defense Curl, Yawn, Lucky Chant Appearance: I will not... let you down...Other: She is afraid of falling, not heights; falling. She is also afraid of bug-type Pokemon and Shark-Pokemon. At times, when her imagination takes over, she is afraid of the dark.

 UNOVA - Naomi SundersonUsername: Haruhi_Fujioka_08 Character Name: Naomi Sunderson Age: 24 History: The youngest of a pair of identical twins, Naomi (along with her sister Lauri) was born and raised in the frigid northern city of Icirrus. Each girl had her own dreams; Naomi's was to become a Water-type specialist, the mysteries of the deep fascinating her from an early age. When the twins' tenth birthday rolled around, they journeyed to Nuvema Town with their parents, each girl getting her first pokemon - Naomi chose Oshawott for... well, obvious reasons. After getting their first pokemon, the twins parted ways, wanting to venture out into Unova on their own. As most trainers do, she went in "badge order", circling around Unova in hardly any time, on the way, collecting all sorts of Pokemon she had found, most of which being Water-type. Although her team consisted of (basically) only 1 type, she found hardly a challenge on her way to the Pokemon League. She completely trounced them all, including their champion, and with narry a scratch to be found on any of her pokemon, she made her way back home. After heading word of her brute strength, she was soon sought out by Clay, the Driftveil Gym Leader. Once she arrived, he challenged her with his strongest team (different from his gym team), and was convinced by her skills. Since he was getting too old, he gave her the gym, knowing it would be in more-than-capable hands. It wasn't until a couple of weeks later when she heard the news of her sister's new position as Gym Leader in Opelucid, the city she had been so fond of since childhood. It seemed as though the both of them were able to accomplish their dreams with ease. With Naomi's unrivaled knowledge of water-types combined with her fearsome sword-fighting skills, you would be lucky to make it past, or even survive, her gym. Home Town: Icirrus City, Unova region Gym: Driftveil City Gym - Looks like a Greek Bathhouse, water is relatively shallow, so a trainer can walk through it. Lilly's and lillypads decorate the room by floating atop the water and dancing over the ripples you create with each footstep. A large, beautiful symbol is carved into the floor and barely visible through the murky teal water. Lining the walls are statues of merfolk with different weapons and at the far end of the gym is a giant statue of a female warrior with her sword. It's a statue of the gym leader, Naomi. As a trainer walks through, one by one a smaller statue will break, revealing a trainer identical to that on the statue. You must defeat him/her in a Pokemon battle while defeating the trainer in a human-human sparring match to move on. You start out with a dagger and, as you progress, you can choose a new weapon from one of the trainers you previously defeated. Once all statues are gone, the large statue will move, revealing a secret passageway that leads to Naomi's battlefield. You can either enter with the weapon you have, or choose one of the trainers weapons for your final battle with Naomi. Upon entering, the door will seal behind the trainer once more. On the floor is a large, round platform with 4 smaller platforms surrounding it. Once the trainer steps on one, waterfalls begin to fill the room with water and in one, Naomi appears and takes her spot on a platform. As the waterlevel rises, so do the platforms. Even once the water stops rising, water will continue to pour into the room, suggesting there are underwater passages where the water is sucked out from the bottom and back through the waterfall. These can normally be found easily, since they create whirlpools where the water is drawn in. While your Pokemon battle, you must also battle Naomi in combat. This provides a distraction and tests your ability to focus on many things at once. If your concentration falters even for an instant, either your Pokemon or yourself could be in some serious danger. Badge: Maelstrom Badge  Personality: Normal Water-typers are known for their kind, gentle nature. Naomi, however, is not. She is a bit cold and sometimes very rude and blunt. She can be a tad violent and always seems to try and pick fights. She enjoys fighting and loves the thrill of the adrenaline rush a good fight gives her. She is stubborn, and only gives her respect to those who have earned it. But once you have it, you couldn't have asked for a better friend. Pokemon: Species: Samurott (Male) Nickname: Ares Ability: Shell Armor. Moves: Hydro Cannon, Megahorn, Swords Dance, Giga Impact Held Item: Rocky Helmet Other: Loves to spar with his trainer, Naomi. He has learned to fight by standing on his back legs, using both of his swords to fight with her. He respects her for her strength and determination, on and off the battlefield.  Species: Jellicent (Male, Shiny) Nickname: Zeus Ability: Cursed Body Moves: Water Spout, Recover, Double Team, Wring Out Held Item: Rocky Helmet  Species: Swanna (Male) Nickname: Apollo Ability: Hydration Moves: Hurricane, Rain Dance, Brave Bird, Rest Held Item: Rocky Helmet  Species: Seismitoad (Male, Shiny) Nickname: Heracles Ability: Poison Touch Moves: Rest, Flail, Earthquake, Sleep Talk Held Item: Rocky Helmet  Species: Carracosta (Male) Nickname: Hermes Ability: Solid Rock Moves: Smack Down, Earth Quake, Shell Smash, Waterfall Held Item: Rocky Helmet  Species: Kingdra (Male, Shiny) Nickname: Poseidon Ability: Sniper Moves: Draco Meteor, Toxic, Blizzard, Hydro Pump Held Item: Rocky Helmet Stored Pokemon: Species: Alomomola (Female) Nickname: Aphrodite Ability: Hydration Moves: Rest, Rain Dance, Protect, Toxic Held Item: Rocky Helmet  Species: Simipour (Female) Nickname: Artemis Ability: Gluttony Moves: Double Team, Roleplay, Acrobatics, Blizzard Held Item: Sitrus Berry  Species: Dragonair (Female, Shiny) Nickname: Athena Ability: Shed Skin Moves: Dragon Dance, Dragon Rush, Draco Meteor, Fire Blast Held Item: Eviolite  Species: Cryogonal Nickname: Cronus Ability: Levitate Moves: Explosion, Blizzard, Hyper Beam, Sheer Cold Held Item: Rocky Helmet Appearance: Bring it on!Other: Naomi loves to fight, especially with her claymore, which she has with her at all times. She has trained all of her Pokemon using battle-style methods and tactics and has become nearly unmatched when it comes to combat. Her style differs from that of her sister's, but she still respects her sister as a fighter, as well as a Pokemon Trainer. She gets along very well with her sister and would hunt down anyone who would dare hurt her. She also enjoys spending time with Unova's own Champion: Captain Andrew Samberg. She has come to respect the captain as a fighter and enjoys sparring with him from time to time. Naomi is a firm believer of the saying "A Pokemon is only as strong as it's trainer", so she practices and trains herself along with her Pokemon everyday. Her gym is her test to trainers to see if they, too, are strong.

 Unova - ShinkuUsername: Haruhi_Fujioka_08 Character Name: Shinku ??? (Last name unknown)Age: 6 History: Nothing is really known about Shinku’s past. She was one of the first children to be brought to Team Nostros. Trapped under a hypnotic trance, she was brought to the cult to serve as a grunt for their plans, but due to her unique abilities and talents, Executor Nathan Lannister took a liking to her, and adopted her as his daughter. She became his right-hand assistant, only taking orders from him and calling him “Papa.” He showered her with gifts, like a father would; giving her anything he thought she could ever want. She never asked for it. He was the one who gave her the Pokemon she has today. It is strange to see a six-year-old with Pokemon, let alone as many as she has! Her unique talents and abilities allowed her to control her Pokemon with ease, even though she is so young. What are her unique abilities, you ask? When Shinku first came to live with Team Nostros, she was made into an ordinary Grunt, just like all the other children they had abducted… but they soon realized that Shinku was different. She has psychic powers…. Fearsome psychic power that was surprisingly well trained and honed for a six-year-old. On top of her psychic powers, she also has the ability to access and alter a person’s mind. This includes being able to access a person’s dreams while they sleep, which is what caught the eye of the Executor. With a command from him, she can not only read a person’s thoughts, but brainwash people into believing whatever he says. If necessary, she can also wipe a person’s memory completely blank… but she has only been asked to do this once before. Still to this day, no one knows where she came from. Executor Lannister has had searches conducted to find where she had come from, thinking maybe he could find more people just like her, but nothing was found on her. They couldn’t find her birth certificate or even any “missing children” reports that matched her description. She was probably just an unfortunate child who was hidden away at birth by parents who were ashamed of her. She probably ran away around the time Team Nostros found her. It is speculated that while being hidden from the world, she used that time to practice her Psychic abilities. As an explanation to the rest of the group, Executor Lannister told them that she had been sent to them by God to assist them in their mission. She soon became the idol of the cult. It wasn’t until recently that the Executor found anything that might be related to the mysterious girl. Around the time they found her, there was a story in the newspaper of that time about a couple, found dead in their apartment; cause of death was stroke. They still don’t know how the two could have possibly died of stroke at the same time. There were no signs of drugs in their system, and no physical injuries. With no children, they had no leads on the case and simply swept it under the rug as a mystery. Not wanting this story to be seen, the Executor hid it away to continue to charade of her being sent by God. Home Town: ??? (Unknown) Position: Executor’s Right Hand/Adopted Daughter, Moon Arbiter Personality: Seemingly blank and empty, her emotionless eyes stare straight into your soul. Almost robotic, yet there is something a bit… off about her; something creepy. Although she shows no emotion, she seems to like to toy with her opponents, like a child plays with their toys. Instead of winning battles quickly, she takes her time and watches the other Pokemon suffer at the disposal of her own. Pokemon: Species: Swoobat (Male) Nickname: Romeo Ability: Unaware Moves: Synchronoise, Future Sight, Psychic, Acrobatics Held Item: Flying Gem Other: Shinku’s “Right-Shoulder” Pokemon. Never leaves her side. He is a loyal servant of hers and seems to communicate with her through telepathy.  Species: Swoobat (Female) Nickname: Juliet Ability: Simple Moves: Synchronoise, Future Sight, Psychic, Calm Mind Held Item: Leftovers Other: Shinku’s “Left-Shoulder” Pokemon. Like her partner, Romeo, she is a loyal servant of her 6-year-old trainer and only leaves her side when commanded. She communicates with Shinku through telepathy.  Species: Scolipede (Male) Nickname: Greaver Ability: Poison Point Moves: Megahorn, Steam Roller, Venoshock, Toxic Spikes Held Item: Rocky Helmet Other: Shinku’s appointed bodyguard and main mode of transportation. He is very protective of the little girl and is not afraid to attack humans to do so. Although he isn’t psychic, he can communicate with Shinku through his mind.  Species: Zoroark (Female) Nickname: Noir Ability: Illusion Moves: Extrasensory, Night Daze, Aerial Ace, Focus Blast Held Item: Sitrus Berry Other: Does not normally appear as a Pokemon. When you first meet Noir, you will think she is just an extremely pale human girl. She claims to be Shinku’s older sister -- so when she is sent out to battle, it really causes confusion!  Species: Galvantula (Female) Nickname: Arachne Ability: Compound Eyes Moves: Thunder, Agility, Electro Ball, Electroweb Held Item: Leftovers Other: Like all of Shinku’s other Pokemon, Arachne communicates with Shinku though her mind.  Species: Chandelure (Female) Nickname: Allura Ability: Flame Body Moves: Sunny Day, Solar Beam, Fire Blast, Hex Held Item: Charcoal Other: The color of her flame has been known to change colors, though whether that is based off of Allura’s mood or Shinku’s is still uncertain. Like all of Shinku’s other Pokemon, Allura communicates with Shinku though her mind. Stored Pokemon:  Species: Gothorita (Female) Nickname: Amber Ability: Shadow Tag Moves: Miracle Eye, Embargo, Heal Block, Future Sight Held Item: Eviolite Other: Like all of Shinku’s other Pokemon, Amber communicates with Shinku though her mind.  Species: Cubchoo (Male) Nickname: Hachii Ability: Rattled Moves: Ice Punch, Flail, Blizzard, Endure Held Item: Eviolite Other: Acts as Shinku’s Teddy Bear. She carries him around everywhere with her. Like all of Shinku’s other Pokemon, Hachii communicates with Shinku though his mind. Appearance: Play with me…Other: Shinku now uses her powers to serve the Executor who she calls "Papa" however he asks her to. Anything from kidnapping and brainwashing more minions to completely wiping out someones memory. However, she only takes commands directly from him. If someone else gives her a command, whether they say it was his orders or not, she only obeys when she hears it come from him directly.

Username: Memorii Makiko Name: Chase Virgo Age: 24 Hometown: Village Bridge Personality:Care-free, Laid-back, Social, Loud, Open, Narcissistic, Clumsy, Unique, Kind-hearted Themes: Main Theme , Battle Theme , ??? ThemeOther:Chase may be Team Nostros grunt, but he acts like nothing of the sort. He always dresses up his Pokemon to make them look 'Utterly fabulous'. Chase is usually seen ranting about how Accessories and Vending Machine Drinks are so expensive when you can do/get other amazing things for free. He's a kindhearted guy that doesn't like battling much, and very very oftenly ditches his duties as a grunt to relax. But if he gets an order from the Team Nostros Higher-ups, He'll have not choice but to carry it out for only one purpose: Money.  History:
"I am but a lonely Grunt who needs to make a living..."
Not all members of Team Nostros are bad. In fact, some of them are surprisingly good. Like in Team Rocket, there are other members who sign up only to put food in the mouths of family members. Some people may find it hard to believe, but if you ever met Chase Virgo- you would understand. This blonde is an all-around pleasant guy to be around, when he's not praising himself, or over accessorizing his Pokemon to make them look 'gorgeous'. His intentions aren't bad, but the way he mentions it makes him come off as a selfish brat from time to time. Very oftenly, he ditches his duties as a grunt to go hang out around the Unova Region and make small talk. Usually writing off orders that come from the lower-ranks(such as himself)- he apparently doesn't care whether he's fired or not. But he will listen to the higher-up Members to get something like a raise. Even with such a heavy conscience on his shoulders, he'll do it all for the money. Growing up in Village Bridge all his life as a kid- the current him still clings to old memories as they took place just yesterday. And often, he shares it with strangers just because he likes hearing about those events over and over. To him, it wasn't the best childhood- but he treasured it despite that. The saddest part he'd mention, was that his Mother moved to the Sinnoh Region, and wouldn't be coming back very soon. "It was an important matter. Try to understand Chase." his Father said to him. Then he'd explain how the younger version of himself only nodded with watery eyes. Truth be told, Chase doesn't know that was a lie. In reality, his Mother passed away right after giving birth to his younger sister from a disease she caught during pregnancy. Chase as a young lad would go around with his little sister Karen, playing with Pokemon and exploring under the careful supervision of their Father. Yet sooner than Chase had expected- the happy times faded away on a certain day. At the age of 14, his father left on a business trip to the Hoenn Region and never came back, leaving him and Karen behind. Rough times began to fall on the two siblings, and he alone had to take on the responsibility of paying the bills and getting food for the two to live off of. Luckily, acquaintances of their family helped keep them alive for a good 4 years. However, Chase realized that it was shameful, replying on others for help in a matter like this. So as soon as he turned 18, he went out to find a job- any job as long as he got paid...... And as long as he could keep himself and Karen living, and maybe someday repay all those who helped him. ...Due to his constant lack of motivation at work- he was fired multiple times, unfortunately. Then one day, he came across Team Nostros- who obviously seemed to be a shady group of wrong-doers. Of course, he didn't need to think twice about passing up the thought of joining, but when he heard that it payed well- Chase spent days and days thinking it over. With no job, and no real profession- he agreed to be part of the Team, taking his place as one of the stronger Grunts. As bad as it sounds- he couldn't turn it down. Days after he lost his last job, Karen caught an illness that was the same exact one his Mother died from. But of course- he wouldn't know that. He relied on this job to take care of his sister how ever he could. Chase realized he was at the point of no turning back when the Nostros had something in planned for the Unova Region, and dislikes the sounds of it very greatly(not that he shows it). Life as he knew it was hard, but it was something he'd have to keep flowing with anyway.
"But of course- if it takes motivation, I'm quitting."

Username: AlyKitt_RyukaI
Character Name: Rosie Castle
Age: 19
History: The starting towns in any known region have a reputation for turning out some of the best Trainers that that particular region has ever seen. Nuvema Town - Rosie's hometown - was no exception; the young Castle started her pokemon journey at the age of ten, like everyone else did. What set her apart from her Nuvema alumni was her choice of starter. Instead of going for a traditional one from the Fire-Water-Grass trio, she asked for - and received(from her parents) - a male Lillipup(Pike) as her starter pokemon. It was with Pike that Rosie decided to collect exclusively Normal-type pokemon, mostly due to their ability to wield a wide range of attacks. With the young Lillipup quickly becoming protective of his new master, Rosie set out on her journey throughout Unova.
Thankfully, Unova had a rather large variety of Normal-type pokemon. Not long after starting her journey, she encountered two more of her chosen typing: a female Pidove(Desdemona), and a shiny male Patrat(Bono). With those three, Rosie applied her (budding)expertise about Normal-type pokemon to blast through the Gyms of Striaton, Nacrene, and Castelia. While training for the Nimbasa Gym's badge, she met two more of her pokemon. The first was a female Minccino(Marisa), who had a penchant for hiding things in her fur(this continued when she evolved). The next one she found - her shiny female Audino(Emma) - took a good bit of searching to find, but when she did? Emma, like Marisa, was a welcome addition to her team.
Rosie's next pokemon - oddly enough - wasn't a Normal-type; this would've been her shiny female Boldore(Harris). Rosie found Harris in her favorite Unova locale(next to her hometown), Chargestone Cave. The Cave served as an excellent place to toughen up her growing collection of Normal-type pokemon, and what's more, she fell in love with the way that the Cave appeared(especially the crystals, which prompted her to capture Harris). Not long after she had bested the Mistralton City Gym, Rosie came across her female Deerling(Reimu); she had looked into the different forms Deerling had, and after waiting for Winter to arrive, went after Reimu's current form.
There was one more Unova-native Normal-type that Rosie was after; this would be her male Bouffalant(Jordan). Due to not being very available in the wild, Rosie didn't come across Jordan's species until she was training her team for the Elite Four challenge. Speaking of, Rosie did indeed struggle a bit with the illustrious members of the Four; save for Shauntal, the Ghost-type Specialist. In fact, it was Shauntal who told Rosie that Elesa, Nimbasa's Gym Leader(at the time) had been looking to retire from her position. Naturally, that was all it took for Rosie to become the best Normal-typer she could be...
...but first? She had to do a bit more team training, which brought her to the far-away(for a Unova native) region of Kanto. Rosie stayed in Kanto for a while, training up her team of Normal-type pokemon. Eventually, she caught the attention of Cerulean City's Gym Leader, Simon Eldritch(a Normal-type Specialist). Simon - never having children of his own - adopted Rosie as a pseudo-daughter, even going so far as to give her one of his pokemon; this would've been a severely underestimated male Snorlax (Dolus). The two became fast friends, even - on occasion - acting like a father and daughter would. As a result, Rosie trained under Simon for nearly three years, quickly picking up on the Cerulean Gym Leader's teachings. Her final pokemon came from, oddly enough, the Celadon Game Corner(which Simon may or may not have told her about). It was a Porygon(Cyberdine), that seemed to have a bit of a tomboyish personality.
With her team of powerful Normal-types in-hand, Rosie returned to her home region of Unova. Not long after returning, she took Shauntal's advice, going to NImbasa City to challenge Elesa for her spot as Gym Leader. Elesa - like just about everyone else Rosie encountered on her journey - was surprised at the ferocity of the young Castle's Normal-type pokemon, and after one (certainly)surprising battle, felt confident in her decision to leave the Nimbasa Gym in Rosie's more-than-capable hands.
Recently, Rosie had finished up changing the Nimbasa City Gym to better suit her tastes. Challengers to her Gym will be in for quite the surprise when they face her in battle~.
Home Town: Nuvema Town, Unova region
Gym: Nimbasa City Gym - The layout of the Nimbasa City Gym reflects the appearance of Rosie's favorite place to train, Chargestone Cave. Instead of multiple levels, however, a minecart track(complete with random gaps in said track) runs throughout the entire Gym; the crystals in the 'Cave' conceal switches, which control the direction of the track. If the right combination of switches is activated, the minecart will take the challenger to a crystal-lit battlefield, where Rosie awaits.
Badge:  -Inverse Badge(and TM68, Giga Impact) -
Personality: Being one of Unova's younger Gym Leaders, Rosie's just about always full of energy. She can be a bit loud at times, but that's usually written off as a result of where her Gym is, much less what her Gym is. If you get to know her, you'll find that she can be quite the friendly person. Pike(her starter)? Not so much.

Nickname: Desdemona
Ability: Big Pecks(this pokemon's Def. cannot be lowered)

Ability: Cute Charm(this pokemon has a 30% chance of infatuating the opponent upon phys. contact)

Nickname: Harris
Ability: Sturdy(this pokemon cannot be OHKO'd)

Other: if it weren't for her desire to be a Normal-type Specialist, Harris would have a definite spot on Rosie's official Gym team. caught in Rosie's favorite place - and the basis for her Gym design -, Chargestone Cave. Snorlax(M) Species: Snorlax(male)  nature: Adamant( +Atk., -Sp.Atk. )
Nickname: Dolus
Ability: Thick Fat(halves dame from Ice- and Fire-type moves)

Nickname: Cyberdine

Other: Rosie's theme - You're Going Down, Sick Puppies Rosie can often be seen wearing a headset, which she uses to communicate with her Gym Trainers(the ones that operate the minecart). Some years ago, Rosie recieved a letter from her mother. She's never opened said letter, and that's probably for good reason; the letter explains that Rosie's mentor, Simon, is actually her father. To this day, the letter remains un-opened, so neither of them know this.

 Username ▶ InsainbutterflyCharacter Name ▶ Ginshu Rakujitsu Age ▶ Seventeen Home Town ▶ Lavender Town, KantoOther ▶ Ginshu is a hermaphrodite and doesn't really associate with either gender. Ginshu will never correct someone about his gender either. She lets other think what they will. Ginshu is also a very good singer and quite good at playing the PokeFlute.History ▶ Ginshu was born in Lavender Town, Kanto much to her parent’s dismay. From his birth, it was evident that Ginshu was neither a she nor a he but both. A true hermaphrodite. Needless to say this brought about numerous questions as to how to raise Ginshu and in the end, she was dumped off at the Lavender Tower to be raised by the Shrine Maidens. It was for the best though, and despite Ginshu’s ‘mutation’ as her parents so nicely called it, the Shire Maidens loved Ginshu dearly. It never seemed to be a big deal for anyone there, though as Ginshu grew older he was a bit confused about it. In the end though, he decided it didn’t matter and since he was both whatever people took her for was simply fine. Life as a shrine maiden was peaceful and it allowed Ginshu much time for self reflection and gifted lifestyle. One night however, Ginshu fell incredibly ill when she was around 13. Strange scales developed on her face and body, and though she eventually regained her health, the scales never left. It was bizarre, but the Shrine Maidens simply accepted it as the will of Arceus. Upon Ginshu's seventeenth birthday the Head Maiden decided that they could not hide away Ginshu forever, and thus he was cast off to journey the world and gain a new understanding and respect for the pokemon whom he helped to bury at the tower. So, without a pokemon to his name he was sent off all the way to the Unova region.Personality ▶ Soft, kind, compassionate, these are perhaps understatements of Ginshu’s tenderness. Ginshu is empathetic to the point where understanding her own emotions is confusing. Helping others in need is a natural urge, and Ginshu refuses to take no as an answer to those in need of help. Despite her soft almost maternal nature, Ginshu is a strong individual as well. She says strictly to her morals and refuses to simply be helpless in any situation. Optimistic to a fault as well, Ginshu never gives up hope even when there is nothing left to hope for. Ginshu enjoys romance and enjoys playing matchmaker, but has no high hopes for any romance of his own. Pokemon ▶

Character Name: Lydia Benton
Age: 21
History: She was born to an affluent family in Snowpoint City, where she spent the majority of her life. For nearly all of her early childhood, she was very sheltered; it wasn’t until she was fifteen that she even stepped out of the boundaries of her family’s manor. It was at this age where she was introduced to Pokémon battles. Her first experience with comptetitive battling was when she watched a battle between the local Ice-Type Gym Leader and a hopeful challenger. She watched as Candice decimated the young hopeful and immediately thought she could do better. She was insistent that her parents allow her to travel to Twinleaf and choose her starter. However, due to her prior diagnosing of anemia, she was quite restricted in her privileges. Instead, the Benton household sent for one of the starters and brought back a Piplup. Lydia was disappointed that she would not be going on to take the league challenge, but still trained Vasilis.
During this point in her life, she only trained four Pokémon at a time. She rotated her team regularly, releasing and training new Pokémon as her tastes developed. She tested her skills whenever she could, taking the short trip to Sinnoh’s Battle Frontier, usually without her parent’s knowledge, regularly competing in double battles. Within a two years’ time, Lydia grew weary of the drab, snowy Sinnoh city that she was confined to. It took a few months of preparation to go through with such a bold move, but through the months she came to see it as more and more of a necessity. With everything in order, clothes packed and with enough money to sustain herself for a few months, Lydia left the manor under cover of night, leaving behind two Poké Balls and a note explaining her decision to leave for a new region and assuring them that she will still be in contact.
She left for Unova, feeling that she could only truly feel free if she left the continent. She began training again, catching a new team of local Pokémon and training them, once again refining her battling style. She had heard that Unova had something similar to the frontier in the Battle Subway in Nimbasa City. Thirsting for a greater challenge, she began frequenting Gear station and the doubles line in particular. She tossed aside opponent after opponent, enjoying the challenge some of them posed, though still hungered for something more. She was eventually approached by a young woman named Melody Rosaceae who she became got along with quite well. Eventually, she offered the opportunity she was craving: She was attempting to appropriate the title of Subway Boss, but required a Multi partner to do so. Lydia figuratively leapt at the opportunity, the pair defeating Ingo and Emmet and gaining the title of Subway Boss soon after.
Now, Lydia spends most of her time on the Double and Super Double lines, looking for whatever flaws her strategy has, and quickly mending them, though she is prone to the odd tirade and vanishing for a couple of days.
Home Town: Snowpoint City
Personality: Polite to a fault, she often comes across as somewhat distant and cold. Blasé, she doesn’t express much emotion, though she will show a small, empty smile as a courtesy. In battle she is much the same, though a spark of exalt in the normally inexpressive face can be noticed if one pays enough attention.

Character Name: Forrest Lundgren
Age: 21
History: Forrest was born amongst a relatively average family, and raised in Opelucid City along with his younger sister, Camellia. The whole family live a good, quiet life within the old-fashioned city. Not really too well-off, but not really having it as bad as others. They were considered very middle-class, as average as a family can get. It may have seemed dull to some, but Forrest quite enjoyed the less-than-spectacular lifestyle. Nothing in his life seemed to stand out, especially in his early years, but that never seemed to bother him. He was content with what he had, and had humble acceptance of things he could not. Forrest was well-read, even at an early age, and constantly wanted to learn more about Pokemon and nature in general, going as far as to wander around in Opelucid's neighboring routes to study the wild Pokemon he would find.
However, whenever he had come of age, he had left home to start his journey as a Pokemon trainer. Once he arrived in Nuvema Town, he had chosen a female Snivy (Natasha) as his starter, and thus began his travels around Unova. He had caught a number of different types of Pokemon, but he had always had a fascination with Grass-types. Forrest loved they way they looked, they way they behaved, pretty much every thing about them. Despite that, he took the time to catch several types of Pokemon, raising them each carefully to take on the Unova League Challenge. Eventually, he made his way through the eight gyms, beating all of the Gym Leaders one by one.
After defeating the Gym Leaders, Forrest made his way up Victory Road to challenge the Elite Four. He lost against the first one, but instead of being beat up about it, he shrugged it off. He knew he had given his best, and he had no regrets. Soon afterwards, he made his way back home to let his family know just how he did. Once he had told them, his parents were very proud of his accomplishments. He then decided to stay at home with his family, where he could continue researching the native Pokemon around the city. A few more years had passed, and his sister, Camellia, chose to leave home to pursue her dream of becoming a singer. Forrest lovingly sent her off with his own Pokemon, save for his Grass-types, and bid her farewell and best of luck.
Staying around in Opelucid for some time, one is bound to get acquainted with the important people around the city. To Forrest, he would eventually meet Lauri Sunderson, his hometown's Gym Leader. After a brief encounter in the field, and a just-as-brief battle between their two Serperiors, the two became friends and parted ways. Some weeks later, Forrest received a letter from the Unova Pokemon League, stating that he was selected to become Nacrene City's new Gym Leader. He was puzzled, considering the fact that he hadn't battled professionally for quite some time, so it was a mystery as to why the League would just now recognize him in such a way. After a while of pondering, he figured it was due to his encounter with Lauri, who seemed impressed with their quick battle from before.
Once he had gathered his things, he once again left his home, this time to move to Nacrene City to become it's new Gym Leader. He decided to use his beloved Grass-types, both old and new, as his gym specialty. After he had settled in and got everything within the gym set up, he made himself a small work station in his own private chamber, where he could continue his research whenever he pleased. Now, even after his years as a trainer and since becoming a Gym Leader, he is quite happy with the way his life turned out. No sorrows, no regrets.
