⌘Personality: Slade looks as if he was an intimidating person, and that is just what he is. His mysterious past has molded Slade into the type of person he is today. With an intimidating look as well as aura around him, anybody would be able to notice that Slade is someone you should steer clear of. Though, that is just what he’s like on the outside. To those who are close to Slade, he is a very caring and protective person. He would do anything, and I mean anything to support for his family. You can say he is like a Robin Hood. The only difference is he prefers to steal from the rich even though he really doesn’t are who he steals from, and he doesn’t really give his money to the poor but to his younger sisters and other family. Outside of this personal matter, socially Slade is a con. Using clever wordplay and fake smiles, he can make himself seem like a very dependable person. His intimidating look keeps trouble away from him, and some could say that he is trouble in human clothing.

⌘Life Story:
Slade was the first to be born out of three in the Kanto region. His parents weren’t wealthy and living life was a challenge itself, especially in Veridian City. Just to get by Slade’s parents would spend the entire day doing odd jobs as well as begging on the streets for pocket change. His parents used Slade as an offspring of labor. As soon as Slade was able to talk and walk his parents put Slade out on the streets to beg for money. He didn’t understand much about what was going on since he was still so young. All Slade did in those days was listen to his parent’s orders and did as he was told. Slade’s parents never mistreated him. His parents cared for him and loved him like any parent would towards their child. They were sorry to have Slade out on the streets to beg, but that was how it needed to be to bring more income. Slade was obviously different from the other kids in the neighborhood. The other kids were able to have all sorts of toys, food, gifts, entertainment, and pokemon. Of course as a child Slade was curious as to why he too didn’t have such things, so he asked his parents. His parents looked at Slade with sorry eyes and did not give him an answer. When Slade had turned ten his parents introduced Slade with a gift. That gift was the two little twin sisters. With the introduction of his two younger twin sisters Slade finally had something to value in his life.
It was the same year that Slade was introduced to his new little sisters. One late night Slade was returning home after a long day of labor and begging. As he walked home Slade felt a mysterious presence following him in the night. He continued to walk through the dark empty streets for what seemed like forever. The presence of something following him did not waver, but Slade had to continue home to his parents and sisters. Slade had made a large amount of income that night and he was excited to show his parents. The staring presence started to become obvious, and Slade ran towards his house. The buildings that he had once passed he saw again. It was as if he was running in circles. Slade ran and ran, then out of nowhere he woke up. Slade was down on the ground in a dark alley way. The presence was still near him, but it seemed less intimidating somehow. Slade could see in the darkness quite clearly since he was in it for so long. His eyes continued to adjust as he sat up. In the far corner of the alley Slade focused in on a round, gas like figure. The figure slowly approached Slade, and its eyes opened. When it was finally in front of Slade he stared at it in the face, not afraid, but soothed. There in front of Slade was a gastly. The gastly looked at Slade with mournful eyes, and instantly Slade’s gut started to knot.
Slade quickly returned home, this time the presence was engulfing Slade as he ran. It was as if he had a shadow like aura around him. The gastly continued to follow Slade until he finally reached home. When he returned he found the house to his door busted open. Slade bravely entered, and horrifyingly saw his parents, sprawled onto the ground in the Kitchen. No traces of blood or any wounds appeared on their bodies, but their bodies laid there pale and cold. Of course Slade cried, but he quickly stopped after hearing different cries that echoed through the house. Slade investigated the sound’s origin and found himself in front of a closed dumbwaiter door. Slade opened the door to the dumbwaiter and found his two sisters crying. Slade, with relief picked up his two sisters and fled the house. The gastly that had followed him led Slade to an abandoned warehouse where all sorts of stored nonperishable foods were left. Slade already knew how his life was going to be from then on, and began to bring in income and raise his sisters. Years went by and Slade began his life of crime.
He started at the age of ten, with his new companion that he had made, gastly. The first act of Slade’s criminal adventure was to sneak into the local Poke’ Mart. Slade needed a pokeball to contain gastly in and to make their companionship official. After a successful break in Slade did many other various criminal acts. Slade conned local travelers of their belongings, he sold stolen goods, he stole small amounts of money from people he walked passed, and Slade regularly stole from the general stores to supply his little sisters with their general care. A couple of years had passed and his sisters were grown enough to walk and barel talk. Slade’s criminal acts were starting to raise suspicion, and he needed to leave. Slade began his adventure off into the world along with his two-year-old twin sisters. Before the adventure had begun Slade’s companion, gastly, had evolved into a haunter in no time. With his new evolved companion, the two of them continued to live the life of crime as well as challenging gym leaders across the Kanto region.
On Slade’s journey he was able to catch many more pokemon and add them to his team of thievery and battling. The second pokemon that Slade had captured was a Scyther. Slade met Scyther right after battling the gym leader in Fuchsia City in the safari zone. When Slade first met Scyther it was on bad terms. The Scyther felt threatened by Slade’s presence and attacked him out of nowhere. Slade was quick enough to call out Haunter to help him in the situation. As Haunter fought Scyther, Slade had noticed that the Scyther seemed quite distracted while in combat. It kept looking back, as if it was checking to see if there was anything going on behind it. Slade circled around, curious of the Scyther’s behavior, and saw a small grassy fort where a bunch of smaller pokemon stayed, cowering in fear. Slade related to the Scyther’s situation since Slade too was caring for his younger sisters. The Scyther was overpowered by Slade’s haunter, but before haunter could make the decisive blow, Slade called Haunter back into its pokeball. When Slade called haunter back, the Scyther too was making its final stand. Surprised by the sudden retreat, Scyther’s attack was far beyond its stopping point. Slade, with his back facing the Scyther, took the brunt of its attack. As the pain coursed through Slade’s body, his vision blurred and he blacked out. The next moment Slade opened his eyes he was laying down on his stomach in some stranger’s bed. The house he was in looked small, but had a very cozy feeling to it. It was soon found out that an old couple found Slade laying on the ground bleeding, and quickly treated him. His two little sisters were playing with some toys in the corner of the living room while the old couple continued to tend to Slade’s wound. A week had gone by and Slade was ready to leave the old couple’s house along with his sisters. Before leaving Viridian City however, the Scyther appeared once more, but this time it didn’t attack. Slade already knew what the Scyther wanted, and captured the Scyther inside a pokeball.
The third pokemon that joined Slade’s team was Dratini, and after Dratini’s arrival was Abra. Slade continued to travel and trained his pokemon. Two years had passed since Slade first set off on his journey and by the end of the two years Slade was able to dominate the Kanto region, challenging the Indigo League. Slade was fourteen when he beat the league, and for the next years Slade continued to travel the world along with his sisters. Four years had passed since Slade’s victory at the Indigo League, and in those four years Slade was able to evolve his four pokemon: Gengar, Scizor, Dragonite, and Alakazam. In addition to their evolution, Slade brought Swampert and Lucario into his team. Slade’s days of crime did not end, nor did it stop at any point in time. As Slade and his pokemon grew stronger, his criminal acts grew to new heights. From ages fourteen to eighteen Slade was involved with the smuggling of pokemon with Team Rocket and regularly robbed the casino. His younger sisters were old enough to care for their own, but Slade’s protectiveness did not waver. When Slade was finally eighteen he had bought a house in the Kalos region. In that house lived him and his two sisters.
When Slade and his sisters moved into the Kalos region Slade already had connections due to working with Team Rocket in the past. Slade began to organize heists, robbing banks, stealing technological advancement projects, stealing master balls, and many more. The money that Slade began to earn was more than he could handle, but that didn’t stop him from stealing even more. While in the Kalos region as well, he decided to once again challenge the league. Slade plowed through the gym leaders with his team of pokemon, and in a single year he had defeated the league. After defeating the league Slade was offered a spot in the Elite Four. Slade gladly accepted the offer, wanting to use his position to gain access to more restricted access parts in the Kalos region. Slade’s position in the elite four did not last long however. As an elite four, Slade pulled off heist after heist, and all the fingers were starting to turn towards Slade. A year had gone by and Slade was forced to resign from the elite four. Major federal crime rates started to rise as soon as Slade joined the elite four, and evidence was making the culprit quite clear. At the same time however, Team Void’s activity had started to bloom, and in no time everyone’s attention was off of Slade and onto Team Void.
Slade was twenty, and his sisters were just turning ten. After seeing how close he was to getting caught his life of crime stopped. Slade wanted to give his full attention to his sisters, raising them to not be like him. He did not want his sisters to turn to a life of crime, it wasn’t safe. Ten years have gone by and Slade has lived peacefully, raising his sisters. His sisters were at an age where they were definitely able to care for themselves, and even though it was hard, Slade allowed his sisters to go out into the world and live on their own two feet. Ten years of hiding from authorities seemed too good to be true however. Team Void’s activities were becoming more violent, more frequent. Team Void is targets strong trainers’ pokemon. Even the elite four and champions aren’t safe from their hit list. Slade was once an elite four, even though it was for just a year, and Team Void will be after him sooner or later…
