• Having been raised as a Shrine Maiden just outside Saffron City in the Kanto region, Yume defines the word "benevolence." She speaks politely and always waits until she is certain it is her turn to speak before she will enter or continue a conversation. And, as with her parents before her, she delights in her duties as a Shrine Maiden and considers the shrine itself to be her second home. However, not everything can be sunshine and rainbows. Due to a rogue Gengar attacking the shrine where she grew up as a toddler, she developed a phobia of Ghost type Pokemon. At age seven Yume developed Haphephobia, the fear of being touched, due to an incident at the shrine on what was supposed to be a holiday celebration gone horribly wrong. To this day she refuses to speak of the event.
  
  
  
• Yume's father, Hayashi, was once a Priest who gave up his life in robes after he met and fell in love with Yume's mother, who was also a Shrine Maiden. The two met when Yume's mother, Megumi, moved to Saffron City after the shrine she grew up serving in the Hoenn region was burned down in an accidental fire. Initially the two began a purely platonic relationship serving the shrine together. However, they could not deny the attraction that was beginning to blossom the longer they spent time together during their service. As something of a clutz, Megumi was often stumbling and fumbling as she went about her duties, exasperating her while making Hayashi chuckle as he eventually learned to anticipate her stumbled and intervene to prevent the worst. Catching her falls, preventing things from falling and breaking, gently nudging her before she would run into anything, etc. This contact eventually led the two to develop a much closer bond to the point of them being comfortable with physical touch. But they were dissuaded from continuing such behavior while at the shrine.
  
  The two began pursuing furthering their relationship when not in service at the shrine, which severely limited their contact. However, it was this limit in their contact which eventually drove them to pursue it that much harder as every moment they spent together became more and more precious. After realizing what this feeling meant, Hayashi resigned himself from his duties as a priest and pursued Megumi romantically in a traditional fashion. She was hesitant, but could not deny her own feelings. Before long, she too resigned herself from the shrine to pursue her love for Hayashi, and the two were wed less than a year later. Yume's older brother, Ken, was born the following year. And his birth was celebrated by both families with great joy and excitement. Yume's birth came unexpectedly, as the pair initially only wanted a single child. However, they refused to entertain the idea of restraining themselves once the gender of the baby was revealed. A son and a daughter seemed the perfect way to round out their family. And so, Yume was born.
  
  During her early life Yume was raised near a forest shrine just West of Saffron City. She was raised as a Shrine Maiden just like her mother, and took her duties seriously while enjoying every moment. There were only two major events which happened at the shrine which would eventually cause Yume to seek a life away from it. And those events were the rogue Gengar attack which triggered a phobia of Ghost type Pokemon, and the incident which remains unspoken about to this day which triggered her Haphephobia, or fear of physical touch.
  
  Shortly following that incident, at the age of fifteen she took an interest in Pokemon following an encounter with an adorably playful Oddish which belonged to a family friend of her father's when he came to visit one day. After learning about Oddish, and the mystique surrounding Grass type Pokemon's connection to nature, Yume's interest in Pokemon overall was sparked. She began spending more and more time seeking out Pokemon Trainers asking if she could meet their Pokemon, and asking after any information they were willing to share about them. And it was at the age of eighteen, when Yume was officially an adult, that her interest in Fire type Pokemon specifically was sparked by an encounter with a black Charizard. It belonged to a Pokemon Trainer who'd come to Saffron to challenge Sabrina for her badge, and it was one of the most beautiful and majestic Pokemon she's ever laid eyes on. She knew after meeting that Charizard and watching the gym battle where it defeated Sabrina to earn its trainer the Marsh Badge that she wanted a Charmander of her own whenever she started her own journey. She wasn't quite ready yet, but she was well on the way.
  
  Two years later, at the age of twenty, Yume finally fulfilled her dream and received word from Professor Oak that a Charmander had been born a few months back and was now properly socialized and ready to be gifted to a prospective young trainer like her. After acquiring her Pokemon Trainer's License, she secured her rights to the Charmander and is now preparing to go pick him up from Professor Oak's lab.

Spoiler: kekoa morimoto

Name: Kekoa Morimoto
Picture:


Age: 22
Height: 5'10''
Weight: 174lbs
Voice Example: Wip? (i don't have one yet, but i'm looking sdmflksdj)

Starter Pokemon: Rowlet (Coconut)

Personality: Extroverted by nature, Kekoa is about as laid back and friendly as it gets. He actively seeks out company, be if from a friend or stranger, and goes out of his way to provide companionship to those that seem lonely, or in need of someone to talk to. His relaxed personality makes him easy to talk to, and easy to get along with, rarely taking offense to things and viewing the world in a optimistic, light-hearted manner. He lives in the present, taking things as they come, and trying not to stress too much about the past or future, however bleak things seem. Hedonistic, he generally tends to seek enrichment and enjoyment, and struggles to cope with boredom or a lack of stimulation, growing irritable and restless if there's nothing to do.
His need for excitement has made him a thrill-seeker, partaking in a number of extreme sports ranging from snowboarding and free-climbing to surfing.

He struggles with attention and focus, jumping from one idea to another, easily distracted by things. In addition to his poor attention span, he's also impulsive, rarely thinking before he speaks or does things, which has (multiple times) caused him injury, or gotten him into trouble... Particularly with wild pokemon he's attempted to "befriend", despite the dangers and impossibility of doing so (he's been mauled at least ten times). He also has a habit of playfully flirting and messing with others for fun, which much like his impulsive behaviour, has gotten him into sticky situations before.

Quirks: -Adrenaline junkie, can and will throw himself headfirst into any situation that seems remotely dangerous.
-Bounces his leg when agitated or bored, will also fidget with his bracelets, or earrings.
-May play the "air-ukulele", as a means to entertain himself when there's not much else to do.
-Always wears bracelets and an anklet. He doesn't take them off, ever.
-May zone out, or get distracted in the middle of a conversation.
-Rises with the sun.
-Refers to people as "bro" or "man" or "dude", regardless of their gender.
-He's somewhat creeped out by bug pokemon. Why? He doesn't know. They just make his skin crawl.

Biography: Kekoa's father, Souma Morimoto, was Sinnoh born and raised, working as a research assistant to Professor Rowan during his earlier years, before eventually moving to Snowpoint City to study ice types. His mother, Kalia, Alolan born and raised, was the daughter of two proficient chefs in Malie City. Inheriting her parents skills in cooking, Kalia went on to become a chef like her parents, devoted to her work and seeking to open a restaurant of her own. The opportunity to open a restaurant based in Sinnoh was one she took instantly, leaving the island life behind in favor of advancing her career. It was through her work she met Souma, a customer wishing to pay compliments to the chef, and the two hit it off near-instantly, with Souma soon becoming a regular.

After a few months, Kalia worked up the courage to ask Souma on an official date, to which he accepted. From there, their relationship continued to blossom. After two years, they were married. A year later, by complete accident, Kalia became pregnant with a daughter.

Kekoa was born Nohealani Morimoto, in Snowpoint City, where his father was a Pokémon researcher and his mother ran a restaurant. With both parents devoted to their work, and unprepared for parenthood, Kekoa was somewhat neglected, often spending time playing with the neighbors and their kids, hoping to combat the loneliness that came with having such career-oriented parents. He grew particularly attached to a family of winter sport enthusiasts and would regularly join them on their trips snowboarding, or skiing. Kekoa's love of extreme sport blossomed thanks to them, and as he grew older, seeking more thrill and challenge, he was introduced to more activities. Climbing, hiking, skating... Sport became a part of Kekoa's life, and because of that, his attention and interest in schoolwork and academia dwindled. School became a struggle, and his parents never noticed. They weren't around to answer questions about homework, or to help with study. Souma was often absent, travelling across the region for his research and Kalia was too fixated on running her restaurant to notice her child's struggles.

Kalia didn't notice Kekoa's struggles with gender, either. It was around 15 that Nohealani became Kekoa and the Morimoto family had a son, instead of a daughter. They were accepting, supporting even, but even their child's transition wasn't enough to pull their focus away from work and focus on their son instead. Kekoa was still lonely, still very much alone and still falling behind on schoolwork. He ended up dropping out of school prematurely, unable to keep up with the demands of school life.

Life was a struggle for the next two years, and Kekoa spiralled into a depressive state. This depression was what finally lead to his parents noticing just how much he was struggling, and just how much they had failed at being good parents. As a result, the family decided that a fresh start was necessary. A change of environment, and a change of lifestyle, one where they could focus on family instead of work. Kalia suggested moving to Alola, as island life was far more relaxed, and perhaps open new opportunities for them and their son.

So, they moved to Malie City, Kalia's hometown. A fresh start.

With new people, a more attentive family, and a new location to explore, Kekoa steadily returned to his former happy personality. Sports in Alola were different, the people were far more social than those in Snowpoint, and there was less emphasis on education and success than there was previously. He could drift, he could be aimless, and it didn't matter. He medically transitioned after a year, finally comfortable enough to remove his shirt, and thus began spending more and more time by the beach and by the sea. His new interests included surfing, and playing the ukulele, and soon enough he developed an interest in Pokémon too.

Some of the surfers he knew partook in a sport known as Mantine Surfing. Surfing that involved using a Pokémon as a board, rather than a standard surfboard. Those surfers had caught and battled and raised their mantines themselves. They were Pokémon trainers. It didn't take long for Kekoa to decide that he wanted to be a Pokémon trainer too. So, he got himself a Trainer's License and applied for a chance to get his own Pokémon. He picked up a Rowlet from Professor Kukui in less than a week. A fresh start indeed.

 

[Prodigious Mage]

"Some people wanna see the world, others just wanna get the fuck out of their house before the entire family implodes. I like to think I'm a decent mix."​

_________________________________________
Name: Annelise 'Annie' Carmicheal
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Height: 04"10 [147.32 cm]
Weight: 87lbs [39kg]
Voice Example: Micheala Laws
Starter: Torchic [ Edan]

Personality: Sharp tongued and dry humored, Annie typically presents herself as a deeply jaded young woman with a rather... Morbid outlook on life. So yeah, Annelise Willow Carmicheal is what you might call a misanthropic asshole, she's not overly fond of people, and much prefers the company of domesticated/trained Pokèmon, and only those she considers 'hers', so to speak, and would very much like to keep it that way, for all appearances.

Beyond this though, her general attitude is relatively amiable if only for the fact that she likes NOT getting punched in the face. She's distant from most people, and would rather keep it that way, however she does have a few people she holds high respect for, as few and far between as they might be. Even her grandmother isn't on this list, piece of shit she is aside, and she'd sooner die than admit anyone she might have known beforehand is on it... So good look getting on it.

She also shows a notable soft spot for small children, and has, on occasion, been physically forced to let go of a toddler. This stems from her own childhood, and a want to at least give every child a single bit of kindness as she was given by her... Exceedingly few 'friends'.

She also tends to have a very notable habit of nicknaming people, regardless of their position or power, and is outright stated to refer to people she absolute despises by their given or surnames, forgoing something as playful and gentle as a nickname.

Quirks: Annie absolutely insists on her nickname, thinking of 'Annelise' as to stuffy and formal for someone like her, and noticeably jerks into wide-eyed suprise or terror whenever she's referred to by her full first name, as, in her own words, 'Only my grams calls me Annelise, and it's never in a way that makes me feel any sort of nice.', when questioned.
- Her nicknames are usually cute, typically just shortened forms of first or last names, but occasionally they can be incredibly demeaning, or stupid. As noted, her twins cousins from Hoenn, Yvette and Anders, are only ever really referred to as 'Twin One' and 'Twin Two'.
- Is incredibly judgemental of 'uncreative' nicknames for Pokèmon, although, she tends to keep such thoughts to herself after a fee preliminary comments.
- Tends to 'Hop about like a Buneary' whenever she's particularly excited or happy about something or other, she finds this embarrassing, and tends to stop as quickly as it starts, especially when someone brings attention to it.
- Feels naked when she goes without some sort of 'over' layer, whether this means an oversized button up to serve as an impromptu jacket of sorts, or wearing a heavy duty jacket over another hoodie, should that be the only thing she's wearing at the time as a shirt.
- Tends to rub the back of her neck when nervous, or lying. Has also been known to 'twirl' after a particularly grueling conversation, which is more like trying to reground herself with sensation then anything.
- Annie doesn't take compliments well, and always, always, thinks someone is working an angle, even if there's no real gain to flattering her.
- She tends to avoid directly speaking to people she finds physically attractive, or, at least until she gets to know them better. As an aside, a way to kill all interest she might have in you as a romantic prospect is if you're nosy, and any direct questions about family will make her completely unresponsive to any and all following questions.
- She's very fond of avian Pokèmon, despite never really interacting with them before the start of her journey, and finds them rather cute, irrationally so, even. Has even commented that she'd nuzzle a Skarmory if guaranteed that they wouldn't harm her.
- Her family were hardcore practiconers of Arceusism, which has kind of ruined religion for her all together, but she does offer basic offerings and prayers when applicable to the necessary 'Legend' when needed.
- Is actually quite skilled at playing the Violin, but would much rather die then ever perform publicly again.

Appearance: Annelise Carmicheal is a notably slender young woman, if almost scrawny do to her somewhat rough upbringing, and is noted for her dark hair, typically worn loose, with a small pair of braids coming from her temples, and joining at the back of her head, piercing blue eyes, and pale skin, she is known to resemble her mother, Sera Carmicheal neè Yves, greatly despite the difference in coloring, and inherited her father's coloring almost completely beyond her pale complexion.

Typically, her wardrobe consists of very muted colors, and is typically known to wear form fitting undershirts with a longsleeved overshirt that reaches to her mid-thigh, a large overcoat with that's at least two sizes too big for her, long dark leggings, and shorts or skirts that reach just below her knee, she also leans towards dark boots and sneakers.

Likes: Sushi, Spicy Food, Drawing, Fishing, Harp Playing, Cheesecake, Anything Relating To Pork, Being Able To Provide For Herself.
Dislikes: Sweets, Tempura, Beans, Most Milk Products, Reminders About Her 'Impending' Need To Contact Her Family.

Biography:
Sera Yves was not always a good person, and, if she were allowed to be completely and utterly honest with others, she'd even go so far as to she was an absolutly selfish little monster as a teenager, only ever looking out for herself, and using the people around her as though they were disposable toys then as actual human beings with thoughts and feelings of their own, and was absolutely a bully who targeted other boys and girl who couldn't defend themselves in her youth.

Of course, this didn't take away from the fact that, as a sixteen year old attending Castelia Private, she was still a teenage girl who, at the end of the day, thought the absolute world of the older guy, who was eighteen, she had a crush on, as Rys Warren seemed to encapsulate everything she could ever possibly want in a romantic partner, as he was smart, driven, and a talented trainer that seemed to always have a plan in mind for his future.

Unfortunately, Rys was not all he was cracked up to be, as he himself was a deeply jealous and petty young man who had a very narrow world-view that he refused to budge from, and rather unfortunately, for Sera at the time, already fashioning himself in love with Amamiya Juuri, a foreign teaching assistant that helped oversee the art club they were both apart of.

Sera was aware of this crush, and the fact that, at fifteen, Rys had absolutely no-chance Miss Amamiya, especially as the woman was twenty-four, and already engaged to her high-school sweetheart, Kurama Kyou, this, however, did not deter her jealousy of the woman, and she endeavored to make the woman's life absolute hell as the overseer of the Art Club.

This eventually came to a head after Sera confessed to Rys, and ultimately insulting his childish crush on Juuri as she did so after he rejected her.

Later on, during the meet up of the Art Club, Juuri comes in and she and Rys become involved in arguing with her over a conversation they had earlier, while Sanae watches, with her older brother Nathen, trying to comfort her over the entire situation, as she had revealed to him that Rys had rejected her.

Unfortunately, Sera had, at the very least been able to recognize the fact that Rys's affection for Juuri was genuine in what it was, for what he knew love to be at that point in time as a teen, and it frustrated her.

So, annoyed and hurt, and so very vindictive, Sera rushed out of the club room with some excuse or other, and made a bee-line for Juuri's actual classroom, and, after making sure the coast was clear, began raiding the woman's desk.

...only, instead of simply coming across something or other to trash, she instead came upon Miss Amamiya's engagement ring, given to her by her fianceè, likely so she could paint that day without getting anything on it.

So, of course, when presented with the ultimate revenge, what better then to take the chance? Swiping the ring, and concocting a plan, she left the room with a skip in her step.

And that Friday, when the club met outside, Sera confronted Rys with the ring, mocking him, and Miss Amamiya, over the entire situation, drawing attention the fact as Rys had already confessed, and was ultimately rejected, and that Amamiya had noticed her engagement rings missing state, she accused the woman had likely thought that he was culprit, but was to 'weak' to accuse him of such things.

This resulted in a screaming match, that left Sera in tears at the end of it, and made her throw the ring into the nearby school pond before rushing off in a mess of sobs.

It was then, that Juuri rushed after her, and ultimately comforted her, and tried to soothe her worries over the entire situation, drawing attention to the fact she was still young, and that she still had her entire life ahead of her, and over a billion possible people she could possibly end up falling for.

Soothed slightly, and grateful, the guilt of the entire situation came crashing down onto Sera at that point, but she had been unable to admit to her act of jealousy, and had simply apologized for wasting Juuri's time, and rushed off.

That night, Sera came back to the school pond to search through the muck and water for Juuri's engagement ring, where she met a classmate from her Biology class, Keith Carmicheal, a member of the school's photography club, and a student that was close to Amamiya Juuri, with his camera, trying to get pictures for something or other.

What happened next is a bit of a blur, but what is remembered of that night is vivid, because she and Keith had gotten into a very bitter and heated arguement after she admitted to what she had done, but... had strangely helped her in her effort to find Juuri's ring.

...which they never did.

It had saddened Sera greatly, and given her a very big reality check as to what she was doing with her life, and where she was heading if she kept being such an ugly person.

It was then, the following day, that Sera dragged Keith out of their shared Biology class, and dragged him to Juuri to tell her the truth, and she took her punishment with as much grace as possible.

Though she was ultimately kicked out of Castelia Private, and had ultimately soured Juuri's opinion of her, she continued to strive towards becoming a better person, with the rather odd comlanion of Keith Carmicheal right beside her.

This journey ultimately distanced herself from her brother, Nathen, who wanted her to keep up the mask of an innocent little girl that she used to manipulate others as a young teen, this ultimately completely broke them apart when she refused to put the mask back on for his comfort.

Keith meanwhile remained a close companion, and sometimes bitter rival, over the years, and eventually became a very close friend in that time, and maybe even the closest person to Sera ever.

They were always challenging each other to do better, to be better, to move forward and be kind and adventurous people, and as tike moved forward, so did the nudging of the more intimate feelings they had for each other.

Their actual romance... really wasn't a romance, because by the time they had come to realize they probably needed to make things 'official' Keith was looking at engagement rings, and Sera was looking into houses they could potentially invest in buying together.

So, of course, the next course of action was to... Kiss? Maybe. Look better people or not, at the time, they were still absolute fucking idiots at the end of it all, and when they finally went on their first official date at nineteen, things kind of exploded.

And yet, this seemed to only deepen their relationship further, and further, until, eventually it all came to a head when they were twenty-two, at which point, in their shared house, Sera got down on one knee with a freezer-burn microwaveable onion ring and proposed.

Keith, naturally said yes, and they had that damn onion ring framed, because why the fuck not?

[No seriously, Annie is so very confused by that damn frame when she finds it the year she can legally sign off on owning their old house.]

This is probably the only time either agree that they were complete and utter fucking idiots.

And, rather unfortunately, this bliss didn't last forever.

As with all great tragedies, this actually starts rather happy.

Four years after they married, Keith and Sera began seriously discussing having children, as they had finally settled into their chosen careers, and another year later, their daughter, and son, Annelise and Andrew, twins, were born.

They had been exceedingly happy, as they had both agreed that they had only ever wanted two children, and this was a good jumping off point them, they thought.

This... ended rather badly, because not even six months after their children's birth, Keith and Sera succumbed to injuries sustained in an attack in a plaza by a feral dragon Pokèmon, with Sera only surviving long enough to have a living will composed to will what they had to their children.

After this, the twins were taken in by family.

Annelise by the Carmicheal's, and Andrew by the Yves family, and grew up without ever really contacting each other despite knowing of the other's existence, and the fact that they were twins.

Annie herself was largely raised by her paternal grandmother, Florence Carmicheal, in her home in Slateport, Hoenn, which, largely, meant she was left in the care of a women more concerned with her own grief over her eldest sons death, then the care and raising of her infant granddaughter, and eventually this grief led her to begin trying to make Annie become an exact replica of her deceased father, or, rather, everything she thought herself father should have been.

From forcing her into after school clubs she didn't have any real passion for, to ridiculing any and all hobbies the woman thought were non-essential or stupid, or would lead her down the same 'horrible' path as her father.

This eventually escalated into pure emotional and verbal abuse after a certain point, and Florence ultimately neglecting her with everything else that would, naturally, have to be taken in part of as a growing girl.

This caused Annie to essentially spend sunrise to sunset outside of her house whenever possible, constantly trying new hobbies, or spending time over at 'friends' houses whenever humanely possible, it was through this that, eventually, Annie found her way to Slateport's Contest Hall, where she was able to buy tickets to the contests that were housed within it's walls.

And, well, they enthralled her as a child, always drawing her attention to one thing or another, always something new, always a new spin, and the dedication it took to be able to do such things, well, it fascinated her, but...

Of course, as a traditional woman, Florence found it a waste of time, a waste of resources, and completely irrelevant to the life path that she had for Annie that didn't include a journey, and instead took her straight into college, and through to Law School.

This... didn't sit right with Annie, who instead of following through with her grandmother's advice to do away with the hobby, instead delved even deeper into it.

Of course, eventually, this came to a head, one that ultimately involved a screaming match the likes of which the entire city of Slateport was privy to the weekend after Annie's sixteenth birthday.

Shortly thereafter, Annelise began working every odd job she could possibly, and feasibly, do to save up for a journey she would, hopefully be able to set out on as soon as humanely possible once she turned eighteen.

Unfortunately, that had to be held off a year when Annie broke her leg the night of her eighteenth birthday, and spent considerable time recovering and going through physical therapy.

So, instead of setting off when she was eighteen, she had to wait an additonal twenty plus months before she was able to grab her shit, plus her newly acquired trainers license, and book it to the nearest lab for a starter.

• 
  

  • Temperamental- Quite sensitive and susceptible to mood changes based on reactions to those around them.
  • Sensitive to rejection- At the slightest hint of someone not going along with something they want, or wants to do, they will become defensive. Often will do activities alone in fear of rejection.
  • Socially awkward- Through their life of isolation from their peers, some their own choice, some not, they're unsure how to proceed with people often. Keeping to the facts when talking to others, short and brief when they can.
  • Irascible- Easily provoked to outbursts of anger or irritability, they’re quite sensitive to the idea of people being mean or cruel to them. If they think someone will turn on them, they turn on them first.
  • Has Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. ADHD. Behaves impulsively, and susceptible to hyperactivity. Unable to stay focused on most tasks for long. Finds new hyperfixations regularly, focusing on an activity until they can’t any longer, from exhaustion or they deems they've mastered the activity. Has a few long term goals, when they deem they mastered them they find a new one. If they're stuck doing the same thing for too long they get restless. Their parents came across a lot of money after the fire; and Carter was then provided every whim they asked since.
  • Afraid of fire/ghosts. Firetype pokemon, and Ghosttype pokemon.
  • Refuse to take their black ring off.
• Yuika Daigo wanted to be the best, the very best. She was driven, intense, determined. To prove she was the best, her and her pokemon. It brought her to the Pokemon Tournament, and against some of the strongest trainers she’d ever been faced with at that point. No one really matched her true rival’s energy and determination.
  
  Trevor Talmer.
  
  He was so in sync with his Pokemon, she thought she might have met her one true match, until he beat her. She was shocked, and intrigued. She knew she had to learn from him. No one beat her until then. She was awestruck by her new rival, until he asked her out.
  
  She said no.
  
  She should have expected it, he seemed like the romantic type. When he lost to another trainer and he only laughed it off, hugged his pokemon, and went about the event. Talking with others, mingling, exchanging postal addresses to send letters. Sentimental.
  
  She found him after the event, asking to train with him. He made friends, he had others to battle against. She suggested a duo against his friends. He accepted. Cheerful, despite his loss and rejection earlier.

  Trevor Talmer just liked adventures. He liked bonding with his pokemon, meeting new people, and making memories. Becoming a Pokemon trainer was great for him, it brought along most of his favorite interests into one activity. The Pokemon Tournament. He made plenty of friends and memories, but no one really compared to his new friend.
  
  Yuika Daigo.
  
  She wasn’t like anyone else there, the way she walked in with a fierce stride. Like she was the only person who mattered. Until she wasn’t. He beat her, and beyond that fire in her eyes, there was a spark of interest. He didn’t waste time in asking her out-
  
  She said no.
  
  He should have expected it, she was way out of his league. She was pretty and determined and seemed detached. She didn’t even attempt to interact with others after the Tournament. She just sat, watching everyone else, with that same detachment and almost disinterest.
  
  She found him again after the event, and for a moment he wondered if she changed her mind. She hadn’t, of course. She wanted to battle again, but not against him, with him, as partners.

  
  They worked great as partners, and learned from their battles together. Exchanging postal addresses, they kept in touch for years to come. Meeting up for each tournament, and every duo tournament they were partners in. Yuika never needed friends, but she found she enjoyed being Trevor's partner. It was easy, even if he was in it for adventures, memories, and friendship, she found she liked those things when it was with him. He always knew he enjoyed her serious nature. He even brought out a calmer, sensitive side of her. It was difficult, but it was there.
  
  It was Yuika who brought up the idea of dating; though in her intense, serious way of hers. They were seperating the first train ride, getting ready for their own seperate train rides home after a long Tournament. They'd gone far in it, but they hadn't won. It was at the tournament that Yuika realized, even losing was fun with Trevor. She liked being partners with Trevor. It was only Trevor. It was 6 years after they had first met, that he first asked her out and she said no, that she asked him for the next step.
  
  "I love you more than the Tournaments. I want to be more than partners."
  
  She got on his train, and went home with him. Not for very long, she did have her own home and life, but by the time she got back to her home, he came with. Moving in with her, and starting their life together, properly. Marriage came faster than their first date did, and their first child was honestly an accident. Not an unwelcomed one, but still suprising.
  
  A little girl named Layla. Layla softened Yuika's heart more, and she found she enjoyed being a mother more than being the best Pokemn trainer. Yuika retired her Pokemon to her mother's farm, and focused on Layla. Trevor was somehow more joyous over the baby than even Yuika. Trevor would sent postcards to his old friends updating them on Layla as he used to do with his Pokemon.
  
  Trevor was more than happy to indulge this new adventure, letting Yuika drag him along like he always dragged her along for his adventures. They made the big move, into a house that had room to grow. Were they had their second child, a planned baby. They named the baby Carter.

  Layla and Carter got along well enough, Layla was 3 years older than Carter, but she was always gentle with them. Carter was a sensitive child. Emotional. Layla was kind, but brash. Her parents taught her all about Pokemon, and she was ready to have one by the time she was 9. Carter was 6. Carter liked reading, robots, and music. Carter wasn't interested in Pokemon.
  
  They were interested in their sister's enthusiasm, however. Layla was tired of her parent's warnings and hesitance to get her a Pokemon. Sure, they offered to talk to the Professor, but Layla hated those boring Pokemon. The kids at school all had the same kinds of Pokemon. She wanted a unique Pokemon, but those were harder to obtain. Impossible for a small child like her.
  
  She decided to obtain one anyway, she took after her mother mostly. Nothing was impossible. Carter recited robotics from their book while following Layla through the woods. Until they found their new Pokemon. A Magby, Layla provided Carter. The Magby was wild, unpredictable. They managed to lure it home anyway, and inside without anyone raising any heads.
  
  That's where the troubles started. The Pokemon was unstable, running into furniture, making a mess. Carter ran upstairs to grab their violin, because the Pokemon at their Grandparents farm liked music, but while upstairs they heard Layla screaming. They hid under their bed instead. Hid until smoke started filling the room. Hid and covered their mouth and cried, until a fireman came in. Pulling Carter out from under the bed, and to the safety of outside.
  
  That was the last time Carter ever saw Layla or their house. Carter understood death, vaguely. Layla was dead, as was all their things. The only home Carter ever knew. The only friend Carter ever knew.
  
  At least until highschool. Nothing eventful really happened after the fire, honestly. Carter kept to themselves, because every time they opened up, other kids called them weird. Called them names, or called them a show off. They didn't keep hobbies for very long, their interests jumped to the next new thing until it was boring. Usually, they wanted to master everything they did find interesting.
  
  It led to a lot of talents, which meant a lot to show to other kids. Hence them calling Carter a show off. Carter was upset about it, but eventually gave up trying to connect to other kids. It was easier to focus on reading and hobbies anyway, without the emotional roller coaster of trying to gain attention only to be rejected.
  
  Highschool brought a awkward, gangly Carter. 16 and finally growing, but still eating the same as they always did. Long awkward limbs, helped playing piano and violin, but still left them out of place everywhere else. A girl showed interest, and they didn't know if it was their latest hobby, which was cooking, or the new height they gained in puberty.
  
  It seemed it was neither, as she mocked Carter one day. "You think anyone would actually like you?" It hurt, more than the other kids in the past. It made them angry, and they broke their latest robot build. Not that it mattered much, it mostly repeated what you said anyway. Carter was angry at the robot too.
  
  Carter, already awkward about the idea of relationships, finally seemed to be connecting with someone, only for them to say it was a joke. A prank. Played by some 'old friends'. Like they ever were friends.
  
  At 19 Carter graduated highschool, and found themselves at a crossroad. College, or finding a career. They were nervous, and shut down emotionally. Locked themselves in their room, and focused on their hobbies. Until their parents forced them into a college. A light hearted threat of sorts, "Pick one of these schools we've selected."
  
  Or maybe it wasn't a threat, just an easy enough decision to help them along the way.
  
  It was at 20 they went to college, and 21 that they gave up and came home. They weren't interested in school. They couldn't focus on the boring subjects. It was then that their parents gifted them a ring, a shiny black band. After setting it on the first finger it fit, their right middle finger, their parents told them what the ring was.
  
  It was made with Layla's ashes.
  
  Memories of Layla and her obsession with Pokemon, and even though they've avoided the subject their whole life, they realized they knew very little of Pokemon. Something their sister loved.
  
  Maybe it was sentiment, but Carter went to the local Professor and inquired about an internship. They aquired an apprenticeship and started their new life as a Pokemon Professor Apprentice/Student. Their parents were shocked, yet supportive Carter opened their heart to an attempt at getting close to pokemon.
  
  At 22, a young Popplio was in the lab, and Carter had helped in socializing it over the months. The watertype was weak and young, hardly dangerous, and water. Carter grew to appreciate the Popplio greatly, and their Professor offered the Pokemon to them. It could stay in the lab with them, the Professor offered.
  
  Carter was hesitant, but didn't take too long before saying yes.

  ryan was born to rich parents who were never really around , they were always out on vacations and business trips leaving him alone in their mansion , he didnt mind this as he was introverted and likes staying on his own , well alone enough as buttlers were around to take care of him and the mansion.
  on his 8th birthday he was send a prize by his parents that would change his life forever , a pokeball , and in that pokeball was a riolu , at first the riolu was scared of him but later grew fond of ryan , they became unseperable to the point where ryan never really put him in the pokeball , he just always had him walking with him , he would give him piggy back rides and even train with him.
  
  when ryan turned 16 he decided it was finally time , to take his little friend and make a name out of himself and become a pokemon trainer, his parents knew a lot of trainers so they were okay with this decision and gave him a lot of advice , and a lot of stuff too.
  
  ryan never really cared about the money and the mansions and houses , he didnt spend that much time inside anyways and has a pretty good idea on where to spend money .
