Thread: The Gym Leader Tales

I fixed Junine.

Name: Akihiko Soul (Referred to as Soul)

Age: 15

Gender: Male.

Appearance: Soul has an innocent, child-like face with a small nose and a large, slightly disturbing, grin. His light brown eyes have a darting intensity and a glow like amber. His constant glaring look brings shivers down the spine of even his closest companions. He has spiky, crystal white hair with a single blue streak down the left hand side which moves almost like a wave as he walks. Soul is of a quite small stature, neither under or over weight. His wardrobe is quite dark, with his favorite choice of clothing being his black trousers with his long-sleeves black and red hooped shirt. Soul wears a studded black white bracelet around his left wrist and right ankle that he was given as a child. He never takes them off, similar to how he never removes his black studded earring on his right ear.

History: Soul was about and plain and normal as children get. He came from a wealthy background with his father one the director's board at Silph co and his mother working as a part time nurse at the Pokemon center. He was nearly largely exposed to Pokemon because he went to a traditional school, however one day he returned home to find that he had to move from his luxurious home in Cerulean City because it was thought to be inhabited by ghosts. With recent reports of accidents in Lavender tower nearby, caution was taken. Upon moving, Soul had the unfortunate experience of seeing a Shuppet appear in his luggage. After a confusing and scary first impression, Soul befriended the Pokemon in secret and decided to keep him as a pet at his new home in the quiet Pallet town. His time with Shuppet turned Soul into a lone wolf, he became obsessed with ghosts and he lost all interest in school or even other people. His parents soon found out about Soul's new friend, and Soul was forced to run away with Shuppet to Lavender Town, where Soul decided he would learn more about the various ghost type Pokemon that lurked there. After several days of very little food and only a corner of Lavender Tower to sleep in, Soul saw the advertisement for gym leaders and decided that it was his only option to keep going. Soul's time at Lavender Tower changed him greatly. He is now very distant from others and has lost the charming charisma of an innocent little schoolboy, only really wanting to talk about his new obsessive hobby. Soul's main friends are the various other ghost hunters at Lavender Tower, who he often likes to converse with given their similar interests.

Personality: Included above.

Pokemon Type: Ghost.

Pokemon Team:

Name: Vendetta (Shuppet)
Ability: Insomnia.
Gender: Male.
Moves: Shadow Ball, Will-O-Wisp, Trick Room, Shadow Sneak,
Other: Shuppet is Soul's very best friend. Before they met, Shuppet feared humans and used their homes as shelter, meaning no harm to them. Human's distaste for ghoost types gave Shuppet a sour opinion of them until he met Soul who has restored his trust.

Name: Fear (Dusclops)
Ability: Pressure.
Gender: Male.
Moves: Trick room, Mean Look, Fire Punch, Ice Punch.
Other: Fear was the first Pokemon Soul met in Lavender Tower. Soul attempted to catch the fearful ghost, but found himself getting giddy in the ever changing trick room and his Shuppet to be cowering from the scary Pokemon. This triggered Soul's love for Trick Room and after their battle, Fear decided to join the courageous teenager on his ventures.

Name: Shadow (Sableye)
Ability: Prankster.
Gender: Female.
Moves: Trick Room, Confuse Ray, Role Play, Shadow Claw.
Other:Soul finally reaches the top floor of Lavender Tower to find... a fearsome wispy dragon, larger than anything he'd ever seen. The arrogant child decides to battle it and after a blast from his Shuppet, the beast begins to fold in upon itself. What lay on the floor in front of Soul was a frail, fainted Sableye. As Soul chuckled at his previous trepidation at a weak Sableye, he felt a hand slip into his pocket...and his wallet fall out. He looks down again and the Sableye is gone. Luckily the Sableye couldn't actually go anywhere with the wallet, with the marvelous trick world removing all of the doors and pathways in the room. Soul eventually defeated the joker and got back his wallet and the laughable amount of money it held, taking Sableye along with him on his ventures.

Name: Snuggles (Wigglytuff)
Ability: Cute Charm.
Gender: Female.
Moves: Shadow Ball, Sing, Double Slap, ThunderPunch.
Other:Upon leaving for the gym challenge, Soul pitted his skills against travelers on the journey. His battling skills were clearly of a level way above his age, being able to perfectly use the Trick Room to leave an array of fighting, bug and grass types laying on the floor in utter confusion and fear. Often he won without having to attack, however, in Diglett Cave he found a traveler using a Wigglytuff and a Sneasel. Soul was bemused when his tricks didn't work on the dark type Pokemon, which tore through his team as quick as a flash, or that he couldn't even attack the foes Wigglytuff. After Soul was utterly embarrassed by the clearly experienced man, he told him of his hope to win the gym challenge. The old man had sympathy for the boy and saw talent and drive in him, so offered him one of his two Pokemon. Seeing that nothing he had could hit it, Soul was impressed by the hideously named Wigglytuff. The man gave it to him on two conditions, that he would learn that using just one type of Pokemon could not get him far and that everything had a weakness. The old man also stressed that under no conditions could he rename his beloved Wigglytuff.

Name: Jack Edmund

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Appearance: Jack has light blue eyes that are almost grey. He has black hair that isn’t short, but not long either. Jack wears a black suit with a white tie.

History: Jack and his younger brother lived in an abandoned house, due to their parents leaving them, for reasons unknown to them. Jack made sure to take care of his little brother, even at the expense of his own happiness, and lost out on many opportunities because of it. He loves his little brother, but resents other people in general because of their harsh living conditions. Jack decided to enter the competition to become a Hoenn Gym Leader because he figured it could help himself and his little brother.

Personality: Jack is quiet and indifferent to many things. He does have a short temper though. Jack’s also pretty blunt, and not afraid to say whatever comes to mind if he feels like it. Jack likes to hide his emotions overall. Jack doesn’t have an opinion on Pokemon themselves, but enjoys to battle with them. He may have a short temper, but most of the time he's calm and even a little cold. Jack doesn't have any feelings for Pokemon in general, but he does like little Pokemon a tiny bit.

Both fine. So I think we could actually start in 24 hours.

Alright, sorry to keep everyone waiting. @Scarlet Flash; Better?

Name: Cecilia (Lia) Beckett

Age: 22

Gender: Girl

Appearance: Lia's hair is fair and creamy, and her hair is a beige-ish blonde shade. Her eyes are light blue, and they are usually surrounded by a layer of eyeliner and mascara. Occasionally, she will wear eyeshadow, but it will usually be a neutral pink, taupe, or light blue. Even at her age, Lia's face is very girlish, so many believe she is much younger than she actually is. Her traditional outfit combines her old private highschool and college uniforms with other fashion choices: plaid skirts, white, short-sleeved collared shirts, knee-high socks, loafers, flats, ankle-high boots, and headbands.

History: Lia was born and raised in Jubilife City, the daughter of a businessman and a once die-hard trainer. Because of her family's wealth, Lia went to private schools throughout her education and had access to private tutors in the summer. When Lia was twelve, she received her first Pokémon. Her parents wouldn't allow her to get one before because they were afraid it would interfere with her schooling. They were correct. After only a few weeks with her starter, Piplup, Lia asked her parents if they would let her take the summer to travel around the region and train with Piplup, which they reluctantly agreed to. Those three months toughened Lia both physically and mentally, and she refused to return home. With her cash winnings from various contests and battles, Lia decided to travel to Unova. She defeated all the gym leaders and Elite Four there, while meeting the Pokémon she would include in her team. Lia returned home when she was fourteen, and began private highschool and went on to college. After graduation, she heard about the opportunity to be a gym leader in Hoenn, and traveled there to compete as quick as a flash <---Not sure if it's "as quick as a flash" or "quick as a flash"

Personality: Lia is outwardly good-natured, happy, helpful, and exuberant. She is tough and serious when the situation calls for it. Lia frequently complements others, while detesting compliments herself. She loves her Pokémon even more than she loves her parents, and if anyone threatens her Pokémon's well-being, she is quick to retaliate. Lia had few friends in school, but they all were inseparable. She detests shallow and arrogant people.

Here's my sign-up:

Name: calls himself AC

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Appearance: He has a towering figure at around 191 cm, but is kind of fat weighing in at 87kg. However, due to his height he seems to appear less fatter than he truly is. He has bushy black hair and pitch-black eyes. As for what he wears: During his leisure time, he tends to wear sportive outfits. For instance, he tends to wear black sweatpants with three white stripes running down the side. On top of that he usually wears a comfortable t-shirt and depending on the temperature a sweatshirt. The sweatshirt he primarily wears is a black one with an eagle on the back.

History: AC doesn't have an interesting history. He spent the majority of his life in school cultivating his mind and gaining knowledge in various areas. He also spent quite a lot of time reading. He didn't have anything to do with Pokemon until the age of 10. At the age of 10, he got his first Pokemon but he didn't really do any battling. He just used it as a friend. He finished all his school related education at the age of 12 and then went on a Pokemon Journey to give himself some time to bond with Pokemon and think about his future. He travelled most of the Pokemon world and returned to Hoenn. His journey was so successful that he was appointed as the new gym leader of the psychic type in Hoenn.

Personality: AC is an interesting person. He comes off as perhaps reserved, but once he gets to know people, he can be quite playful. He loves to play with children. AC's friends constantly praise him for the knowledge he holds. He is quite knowledgeable in many areas including history, math, science, geography and philosophy. This comes from the fact that he loves to read about everything. He is also a leader as his friends look to him for advice and he is not afraid to assume responsibility when necessary. He is also quite respectful of others and is quite generous. That's why all his friends like him. The most horrid part of his personality is perhaps his constant contemplation on life and the world around him. This leads him to thinking darkly about the future and there is always a cloud of trouble in his mind that hides the happy thoughts. However, all these thoughts are actually highly unnecessary but AC can't stop contemplating about them. Another bad characteristic he has is his anger. At times, he can get quite angry and erupt like a volcano. He is a fast thinker and can think as quick as flash. He has a great analytic mind that helps him analyze the situations he is in.

Pokemon Type: Psychic

Pokemon Team:

Alakazam
Moves: Psychic, Focus Blast, Shadow Ball, Calm Mind
History: AC's first Pokemon. It is a tough battler.

Gallade
Moves: Swords Dance, Close Combat, Shadow Sneak, Zen Headbutt
History: AC's second Pokemon. Gallade is known to be AC's best battler and has developed a personality filled with righteousness and justice.

Starmie:
Moves: Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Recover
History: AC caught it as a Staryu while in the Kanto region. Ever since, it has been one of AC's strongest Pokemon.

Xatu:
Moves: Thunder Wave, Roost, Psychic, U-turn
History: AC caught it in the Johto Region. He tends to use it for comfort as it is a wise Pokemon. AC spends time talking to it. He uses it as a battler as well, but Xatu isn't the strongest of battlers.

Done.

You're in.

Name: Ariana Larsson

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Appearance: Ariana has beautiful light blonde hair, silky smooth and styled as a long wavy hair. She has beautiful light brown eyes and she wears a decently subtle amount of makeup with her long lashes, brown eye shadow as well as lipstick (lightish brown). She has flawless skin and likes to wear very nice clothes. Ariana's outfit will be black knee high boots with a purple jacket blouse with a black belt around her waist.

History: The mysterious Ariana's history was her being trained by a former Elite 4 member who was also her parent. Even though they specialize in different types, she has that killer instinct and style of her parent. She was sheltered though which leads to personality. She is doing this to explore more about what is happening and the whereabouts of her parent after she went missing.

Personality: She is a bit naive, sheltered but has that mean femme fatale streak to help her with. Romance and friends are not an option until she finishes her quest. She is quite mysterious as her detective mind and mean streak allows her to be as quick as a flash

Forretress - Male - Sturdy - Protect, Spikes, Autotomize, Explosion
