• Welcome back to Pokécharms! We've recently launched a new site and upgraded forums, so there may be a few teething issues as everything settles in. Please see our Relaunch FAQs for more information.

Open Curtains Opening on The Grand Kalos League (Discussion and Sign-Ups)

OFFICIAL RP: HERE

AVAILABLE SLOTS: 31/31

Participants: 1

Hello everyone, it is once again that time of the year where we gather powerful trainers from across the Kalos Region, all who have been able to earn themselves 8 Gym Badges and watch as they battle it out to see who will win the coveted Kalos League Championship, and become a Kalos League Champion!

><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><

For this Pokemon League, we will be looking for at least 8 participants, with me included that leaves 7 open slots to start. However, I will be leaving slots open for a bit longer as the tournament will have 32 trainers (most of which will just be NPCs) so if anyone wishes to join a little late you will be able to. I will keep a score as to how many slots are open, but as the rounds progress fewer and fewer slots will be open, when the slots go RED that means that it's closed.

Landon Hill
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Personality: Landon is a free-spirit at heart, he battles for fun mostly, until it comes to important battles like Gym Battles or the Pokemon League, in which case he battles with everything he's got, trying to realize his dream of becoming a Pokemon Champion.
Background: Landon began his journey at age 12 in the Sinnoh Region, he began his travels with a Piplup by his side growing to become his most trusted partner when it comes to battling. Landon put his trust in his Pokemon and was able to earn 8 Sinnoh League Gym Badges, however when he entered he soon found out that he was out of his league. Losing in the 3rd round was crushing on the young boy, causing him to spiral into a depressed lonesome state, wondering why he lost in the league, believing that he was the best trainer he could be, however, he lacked the experience and knowledge that many other trainers have had before him and in the league. It was thanks to Professor Rowan that Landon was able to pick himself back up again, Rowan suggested that Landon continue his travels in other regions, participating in various other leagues to sharpen and improve his skills as a trainer. Landon decided to travel in the Johto Region next, leaving his Pokemon behind in Sinnoh so that he may gain a stronger bond with the new Pokemon that he would catch in Johto. He once again made his way through a region capturing new Pokemon and making his way into the league, unfortunately losing again, but rather than getting down, Landon found himself inspiring him to train even harder. Landon continued into the Hoenn Region where he caught a feisty little Torchic, which he nicknamed Spike, with his new Pokemon he began forming a powerful bond with the Torchic, who never knew when to quit when it came to an important battle. During his journey, while leaving Foretree City, he saw Steven near the entrance to a cave that was said to hold a special treasure in it. Landon ended up retrieving the treasure for Steven in exchange for a battle, which he ultimately lost, however after the battle Landon and his Blaziken felt motivated to train as hard as he could to win the Hoenn League. With their strength, Landon was able to win his way to the finals of the Hoenn League, and through a knock-down-drag-out fight with his opponents Greninja, Landon lost. The defeat crushed him at first, but as he was leaving he met with Steven who recognized his strength and growth as a trainer, this gave Landon the motivation to become even stronger, especially after he was given a Blazikenite from Steven, which was the treasure he had retrieved. After a few years, he found and trained with the Mega Evolution Guru. After a trial in the Sea Spirits Den, Landon was gifted a Keystone by him. Landon promised to use it only when he and his Pokemon felt like their hearts were as one.
Number of Pokemon: 6
Appearance: Landon wears a deep blue jacket and grey track pants, along with a black backpack where he keeps his supplies in. Landon owns and wears red sneakers and gloves as well. He has dirty blonde hair and green eyes.
Other: Landon wears a Mega Ring around his wrist.

Battle Style: She goes by what her Pokemon want. What battle style they preferred. Of course, they are nothing short from brutal, they have their own way of showcasing this.

Background:
She‌ ‌was‌ ‌born‌ ‌in‌ ‌Cocona‌ ‌Village,‌ ‌Oblivia,‌ ‌along‌ ‌with‌ ‌her‌ ‌three‌ ‌brothers‌ ‌before‌ ‌her.‌ ‌She‌ ‌is‌ ‌the‌ ‌last‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌quadruplet‌ ‌in‌ ‌her‌ ‌family‌ ‌and,‌ ‌as‌ ‌such,‌ ‌was‌ ‌treated‌ ‌as‌ ‌the‌ ‌baby‌ ‌of‌ ‌the‌ ‌group‌ ‌until‌ ‌her‌ ‌twin‌ ‌sisters‌ ‌and‌ ‌her‌ ‌baby‌ ‌brother‌ ‌were‌ ‌born‌ ‌after‌ ‌her‌ ‌as‌ ‌her‌ ‌parents‌ ‌were‌ ‌traveling‌ ‌through‌ ‌the‌ ‌less‌ ‌known‌ ‌regions.‌ ‌During‌ ‌this‌ ‌time,‌ ‌Shade’s‌ ‌mother’s‌ ‌Alolan‌ ‌Raichu‌ ‌also‌ ‌gave‌ ‌birth‌ ‌to‌ ‌Chu,‌ ‌and‌ ‌she‌ ‌was‌ ‌born‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌same‌ ‌time‌ ‌as‌ ‌Shade’s‌ ‌birth.‌ ‌Shade‌ ‌and‌ ‌Chu‌ ‌became‌ ‌quick‌ ‌friends,‌ ‌as‌ ‌they‌ ‌were‌ ‌destined‌ ‌to‌ ‌be‌ ‌together.‌

Her‌ ‌parent’s‌ ‌traveling‌ ‌ways‌ ‌stopped‌ ‌once‌ ‌they‌ ‌had‌ ‌their‌ ‌seventh‌ ‌child‌ ‌and‌ ‌they‌ ‌headed‌ ‌back‌ ‌to‌ ‌their‌ ‌ranch‌ ‌north‌ ‌of‌ ‌Mt.‌ ‌Moon,‌ ‌dubbed‌ ‌the‌ ‌Darastrix‌ ‌Ranch.‌ ‌Living‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌borders‌ ‌of‌ ‌Kanto,‌ ‌they‌ ‌made‌ ‌their‌ ‌living‌ ‌selling‌ ‌Moomoo‌ ‌Milk,‌ ‌raising‌ ‌Pokémon‌ ‌for‌ ‌others,‌ ‌healing‌ ‌them‌ ‌when‌ ‌it’s‌ ‌needed,‌ ‌selling‌ ‌herbs‌ ‌and‌ ‌herbal‌ ‌remedies‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌populace,‌ ‌as‌ ‌well‌ ‌as‌ ‌sharing‌ ‌ideas‌ ‌with‌ ‌big-name‌ ‌companies,‌ ‌as‌ ‌her‌ ‌father‌ ‌was‌ ‌an‌ ‌inventor‌ ‌and‌ ‌helped‌ ‌to‌ ‌create‌ ‌the‌ ‌modern‌ ‌PokeBall.‌ ‌Since‌ ‌her‌ ‌mother,‌ ‌Lyria,‌ ‌was‌ ‌a‌ ‌retired‌ ‌teacher,‌ ‌she‌ ‌was‌ ‌more‌ ‌than‌ ‌qualified‌ ‌to‌ ‌teach‌ ‌her‌ ‌seven‌ ‌children‌ ‌about‌ ‌Pokémon‌ ‌at‌ ‌a‌ ‌young‌ ‌age.‌ ‌Starting‌ ‌at‌ ‌the‌ ‌age‌ ‌of‌ ‌5,‌ ‌they‌ ‌began‌ ‌to‌ ‌have‌ ‌homework,‌ ‌responsibilities‌ ‌on‌ ‌the‌ ‌ranch,‌ ‌and‌ ‌learned‌ ‌all‌ ‌they‌ ‌could‌ ‌about‌ ‌the‌ ‌world‌ ‌around‌ ‌them‌ ‌and‌ ‌what‌ ‌creatures‌ ‌lived‌ ‌in‌ ‌it.‌

When‌ ‌Pyros,‌ ‌Miel,‌ ‌Stror,‌ ‌and‌ ‌Shade‌ ‌hit‌ ‌11,‌ ‌they‌ ‌were‌ ‌sent‌ ‌off‌ ‌to‌ ‌make‌ ‌friends‌ ‌and‌ ‌possibly‌ ‌learn‌ ‌anymore‌ ‌that‌ ‌Lyria‌ ‌might‌ ‌have‌ ‌missed.‌ ‌They‌ ‌were‌ ‌sent‌ ‌to‌ ‌a‌ ‌public‌ ‌school‌ ‌in‌ ‌Kanto,‌ ‌which‌ ‌they‌ ‌excelled‌ ‌at‌ ‌academically.‌ ‌They‌ ‌graduated‌ ‌early‌ ‌and‌ ‌had‌ ‌ample‌ ‌time‌ ‌to‌ ‌explore‌ ‌the‌ ‌Region‌ ‌they‌ ‌were‌ ‌in‌ ‌before‌ ‌they‌ ‌returned‌ ‌home…‌ ‌Only‌ ‌to‌ ‌go‌ ‌to‌ ‌the‌ ‌next‌ ‌school.‌ ‌They‌ ‌went‌ ‌to‌ ‌a‌ ‌public‌ ‌school‌ ‌in‌ ‌Johto‌ ‌when‌ ‌they‌ ‌were‌ ‌12,‌ ‌then‌ ‌Hoenn‌ ‌when‌ ‌they‌ ‌were‌ ‌13,‌ ‌Sinnoh‌ ‌when‌ ‌they‌ ‌were‌ ‌14,‌ ‌Unova‌ ‌when‌ ‌they‌ ‌were‌ ‌15,‌ ‌Kalos‌ ‌when‌ ‌they‌ ‌were‌ ‌16,‌ ‌and‌ ‌Alola‌ ‌when‌ ‌they‌ ‌were‌ ‌17.‌ ‌Each‌ ‌time,‌ ‌she‌ ‌graduated‌ ‌early‌ ‌and‌ ‌began‌ ‌to‌ ‌explore‌ ‌the‌ ‌region‌ ‌with‌ ‌her‌ ‌brothers,‌ ‌as‌ ‌they‌ ‌too,‌ ‌excelled‌ ‌with‌ ‌flying‌ ‌colors.‌ ‌

When‌ ‌she‌ ‌was‌ ‌18,‌ ‌she‌ ‌returned‌ ‌to‌ ‌Alola‌ ‌to‌ ‌complete‌ ‌the‌ ‌Island‌ ‌Challenge‌ ‌before‌ ‌she‌ ‌grew‌ ‌too‌ ‌old‌ ‌to‌ ‌do‌ ‌it.‌ ‌She‌ ‌completed‌ ‌it‌ ‌in‌ ‌a‌ ‌little‌ ‌over‌ ‌half‌ ‌a‌ ‌year‌ ‌as‌ ‌she‌ ‌was‌ ‌quite‌ ‌knowledgeable‌ ‌about‌ ‌the‌ ‌region‌ ‌she‌ ‌had‌ ‌recently‌ ‌explored‌ ‌in.‌ ‌After‌ ‌her‌ ‌Island‌ ‌Challenge,‌ ‌she‌ ‌went‌ ‌on‌ ‌more‌ ‌journeys‌ ‌collecting‌ ‌Gym‌ ‌Badges,‌ ‌Contest‌ ‌Ribbons,‌ ‌Princess‌ ‌Keys,‌ ‌and‌ ‌the‌ ‌Psychic-,‌ ‌Ghost-,‌ ‌and‌ ‌Dark-Type‌ ‌Pokémon‌ ‌as‌ ‌she‌ ‌could‌ ‌while‌ ‌also‌ ‌taking‌ ‌online‌ ‌college‌ ‌courses‌ ‌for‌ ‌psychology.‌ ‌Due to accomplishing feats and garnering a practical rich boy stalker, who thought impressing her with an expensive and rare gift was a good idea, she obtained a Gengarite and promptly left the boy before he had a chance to express his feelings for her. By‌ ‌the‌ ‌time‌ ‌she‌ ‌was‌ ‌27,‌ ‌she‌ ‌began‌ ‌to‌ ‌take‌ ‌on-campus‌ ‌college‌ ‌classes‌ ‌for‌ ‌biology‌ ‌and‌ ‌genetics‌ ‌while‌ ‌she‌ ‌was‌ ‌in‌ ‌Kalos.‌ ‌She‌ ‌sped‌ ‌through‌ ‌these‌ ‌courses‌ ‌with‌ ‌flying‌ ‌colors‌ ‌and‌ ‌she‌ ‌soon‌ ‌became‌ ‌a‌ ‌researcher‌ ‌in‌ ‌the‌ ‌field‌ ‌of‌ ‌genetics‌ ‌not‌ ‌long‌ ‌after.‌ ‌Due to her accomplishments in academics, she received a Key Stone from her parents, to which she put to good use as she began training her Gengar everyday. She‌ ‌began‌ ‌her‌ ‌experiments‌ ‌in‌ ‌her‌ ‌parent’s‌ ‌basement‌ ‌with‌ ‌DNA‌ ‌before‌ ‌graduating‌ ‌to‌ ‌a‌ ‌laboratory‌ ‌she‌ ‌now‌ ‌owns‌ ‌in‌ ‌Kanto‌ ‌on‌ ‌Cinnabar‌ ‌Island.‌ ‌She‌ ‌travels‌ ‌a‌ ‌lot‌ ‌though,‌ ‌so‌ ‌she‌ ‌is‌ ‌hardly‌ ‌there‌ ‌anymore.‌ ‌

Due‌ ‌to‌ ‌her‌ ‌excellent‌ ‌knowledge‌ ‌in‌ ‌many‌ ‌kinds‌ ‌of‌ ‌Pokémon-related‌ ‌topics,‌ ‌she‌ ‌is‌ ‌soon‌ ‌going‌ ‌to‌ ‌start‌ ‌her‌ ‌college‌ ‌courses‌ ‌to‌ ‌further‌ ‌her‌ ‌knowledge‌ ‌and‌ ‌become‌ ‌a‌ ‌Pokémon‌ ‌Professor.‌

Quite recently, she was quite interested in being a Battle Master at the Spire. She, of course, went there throughout the year when she was 29 and showed off her prowess and her Mega Evolution as she took breaks from her research. Because of her intense and brutal Pokemon techniques and fitting with the battle style of each of her Pokemon, she was accepted as a Battle Master.

Name: Chu
Species: Alolan Raichu - [TYPE]Electric[/TYPE][TYPE]Psychic[/TYPE]
Gender: Female
Personality: Chu is quite the silly little mouse. Adorable, cuddly, and curious, most people wouldn't think that she would fight so ferociously in a battle. She likes to combine both her physical and special attacks into amazing combinations and uses her speed to confound enemies before letting loose combinations of moves she has been practicing for years.
Ability: Surge Surfer - Doubles speed when under the effects of Electric Terrain.
Held Item: Electric Seed - In a satchel around her neck. Once Electric Terrain is active, the seeds will activate and coat her in defensive electricity, boosting her physical defenses. OR Aloraichium-Z - With the power of Thunderbolt awakened by the dance, Chu can unleash Stoked Sparksurfer.
History: Being born at the same time as Shade, they were destined to be together. They have been inseparable since and have been through thick and thin with one another. She had learned many techniques that most people don't remember the Pichu line ever learning in the first place and this gives her an edge in battle as she has been trained to fight using every part of her body. She was trained so extensively that her electrical cheek pouches wouldn't startle her into fits of crying or hurt her. When she evolved nearly 25 years after her birth into a Pikachu, she had to train herself how to use this new body before she evolved into an Alolan Raichu 3 years later. Now, she is an exceptional partner to Shade and has quite the experience on her resume, as well as being smart enough with what moves to use against certain Pokemon and knowing how to use a vast majority of moves due to her constant training with many different kinds of species. The only Pokemon who is on par with her is Shade's Gengar without Mega evolving. She has also helped Shade in her research, becoming a cuddly friend to most skittish wild Pokemon that Shade needs for her research. When she evolved into an Alolan Raichu, she also gained the ability to telepathize pictures and simple phrases to Shade, but never full blown sentences.

Name: Gar
Species: Gengar - [TYPE]Ghost[/TYPE][TYPE]Poison[/TYPE]
Gender: Male
Personality: As a normal Gengar, he is quite fatherly and lovable, if not a little mischievous, towards his trainer. He loves to help her out and he feels better when he is able to console her from a nightmare by eating her nightmares with Dream Eater or just holding her when she is having a mental breakdown due to lack of sleep. During a battle, he is nothing short of brutal and his mischievousness comes out full blast as he confounds his opponents with speed and ranged attacks. However, when he becomes a Mega Gengar, his sweet demeanor drastically changes. He becomes even more brutal, viewing his opponents like prey that need to be dealt with quickly rather than a fun rival he is sparring against. Due to this, the attacks he unleashes can send quite a few Pokemon to the hospital immediately if they underestimate his strength and Shade usually has to return him immediately before he tries to kill the poor things if he ever loses himself to the energy.
Ability: Cursed Body - When hit by an attack that makes physical contact, it has a chance to become disabled. | Shadow Tag - Due to the permanent 'Mean Look' from Mega Gengar's third eye, it prevents most Pokemon from switching out.
Held Item: Either a Spell Tag connected by an earring or a Gengarite around his body in a band. The Spell Tag increases the power of his Ghost-Type attacks while the Gengarite allows him to Mega Evolve.
History: As a Gastly, he was founded by Shade's mother, who had taken a liking to the creature. But she didn't catch him, as it was her sister who caught him. Of course, the sister didn't take good care of Gar, and he fled, taking his PokeBall with him. He came upon Shade's mother again and quickly became her partner, and an inseparable one at that. He had evolved shortly after into a Haunter, and then into a Gengar as she traded him over to Shade's father, who didn't even start dating her mother until a few years later. Gar was an exceptional beast at battling, and stood by Shade's father's side just as obediently as he had done for Shade's mother. When the two finally came together, married, and had children, Gar took a specific liking to Shade. He would make sure she was taken care of first before all her other siblings and loved to play with her and Chu as they grew. Their bond became much stronger than Gar's bond with Shade's parents and he became something of a fatherly bodyguard for her before she started off on her journey. She didn't bring him with until she was older, when she decided she wanted him with her to help her with her recurring nightmares and studies. This led them to become closer with one another again and she began using him in most of the battles she came across. He would even eat Shade's negative emotions to make his Dark Pulse stronger for one use, which benefited both trainer and Pokemon. When he was given the ability to Mega Evolve, he was all for it at first until he transformed. He felt he was losing himself and his sight of what mattered to him and he almost attacked his trainer, to whom he saw as his daughter. Heartbroken, it took some begging from Shade to go back to using Mega Evolution, but he was able to regain his ability to retain the memories he had held with his trainer to keep himself from going berserk. Of course, even now mega evolving is very difficult and taxing on him, as he would snap and go on a murderous rampage when stewing in the Mega Evolution energy for too long. He sometimes regrets training for this power boost, but until the time comes where he completely loses himself and attacks his own trainer, he will keep using this technique as it seems to make her happy.

Name: Schwartz
Species: Hydreigon - [TYPE]Dark[/TYPE][TYPE]Dragon[/TYPE]
Gender: Male
Personality: True to his species, he is extremely brutal and only really listens to one person. Because of this, only Shade can really talk and even get near and take care of him without receiving injuries or a growl. In a battle, he attacks without discretion of his own safety. He begged Shade to wear the Life Orb so he could better smash and overwhelm his opponent's defenses in exchange for getting his strength sapped. Of course, getting hurt just enrages him more making him act more like a feral Pokemon hellbent on destroying the thing that is breathing or moving in front of it.
Ability: Levitate - Immune to Ground-Type attacks and the effects of terrain and Arena Trap, until he lands.
Held Item: Life Orb - A life-sucking orb in a necklace around his main head. It damages him in turn for a power boost.
History: Schwartz didn't used to be this brutal. As a Deino, he was the runt of his family, timid and scared of everything around him. Shade had gained his trust and nursed him back to health from a scuffle he had with older members of his species. Because of this, he followed Shade around like a lost puppy and became her partner in the Unova region. He evolved sometime later during her fight with Drayden in an official gym battle, his brutal personality budding as soon as he evolved. Shade had to calm him down by holding him down, as he refused to enter his PokeBall. After calming him down, he was able to focus throughout the rest of the battle. When he evolved next during a fight with Shade's brother's Charizard, both Shade and her brother had to struggle in holding Schwartz down. His brutal behavior and "kill-all" attitude endangered everyone involved and he almost killed the brother's Charizard. After calming down from the sudden powerful urge from the evolution, he lost his cute demeanor. He only ever listens to Shade, and very rarely her brother who had helped calm him down. He doesn't trust himself around anyone except for Shade because he has had the most experience with her and will growl at anyone who comes near him or her due to his protective nature and his brutalizing demeanor.

Name: Robin
Species: Decidueye - [TYPE]Grass[/TYPE][TYPE]Ghost[/TYPE]
Gender: Male
Personality: The charmer of an owl, he has a sense of justice and loves to charm other female Pokemon, specifically other birds. This can be his downfall when he notices one nearby watching him, but other than that, he is extremely quick and powerful. He is incredibly accurate with his attacks and can see the opponent's weak spots easier than most due to his owl eyes.
Ability: Overgrow - Raises the power of Grass-Type moves when stamina is low.
Held Item: Zoom Lens - Raises Accuracy and is clipped around his head and situated over his right eye.
History: As a Rowlet, Robin was hiding out in Lush Jungle. He had been quite lonely and trying to find female bird Pokemon that liked him was difficult. It felt like nobody had seen his charm and he was going to get caught by a trainer when Shade appeared. Shade had been watching the poor guy try and fail for a few days of trying to find a mate and so she thought she'd help out. The trainer who wanted to capture the Rowlet had failed after the Rowlet showed exceptional skills with Leafage against a type they would normally have trouble against - Ice. When Robin saw Shade, he thought she was going to capture him like everybody else beforehand, but she was different. She knew his problem and attempted to help him. Of course, her ideas almost worked but it wasn't enough. Regardless, she earned a friend because she was nice enough to help Robin instead of trying to catch him. After he joined her team, he quickly evolved soon after. Of course, true to Dartrix's nature, he soon became vain and super irritated and flustered whenever his feathers got ruffled. This almost ended his ability to evolve because he couldn't train. Even Shade was getting a little frustrated, but she just steeled herself and helped to fix his appearance before and after every battle and made sure to train in his speed so he would be less likely to get hit. It took her awhile, but she managed to get Robin to use his irritation and put it to good use in a fight whenever he did get his feathers dirty. This also caused him to evolve one battle into Decidueye. Out of all the Pokemon on her usual fighting team, him and Schwartz have seen the most change during evolution.

Name: Zim
Species: Malamar - [TYPE]Dark[/TYPE][TYPE]Psychic[/TYPE]
Gender: Male
Personality: He is a completely devious and cruel mastermind. Knowing full well what his ability allows him to do, he will use moves that would exhaust other Pokemon to power himself up and then sweep opposing teams. He doesn't need Shade's guidance and would prefer it if she doesn't barge in with her commands. Of course, letting him see through her eyes wouldn't hurt his pride, just as long as she doesn't yell out commands and tell him what to do. He can use his trainer's comprehension of the things happening out on the field to his advantage like a fully functioning hive mind. Outside of battle however, he is generally sweet, if not a little standoffish. He does love a good dry treat here and there and won't say no to a good battle of wits with other people and Pokemon.
Ability: Contrary - Any buffs or debuffs directed towards Zim are swapped.
Held Item: Safety Goggles - Strapped around his eyes, it protects him from weather-related damage from the likes of Sandstorm and Hail, as well as powder and spore moves. He sees the world in an orange tint, something he doesn't mind every so often.
History: As an Inkay, Zim was a pretty mischievous but timid Pokemon. He enjoyed pulling pranks on those who he deemed deserved it, until he met Shade. He thought she was weird and so that led to their first encounter of each other. Of course, because of the constant pranks from her Pokemon, Shade saw it coming a mile away and played the game to catch Zim off guard. Startled that his plan didn't work, he ran off, but kept a close eye on her for quite some time. After following her around for a week, he finally decided that she was worthy enough to have him, and so he joined her on her team. While he was with her, he grew in confidence and stopped being so afraid, and being included in a Performance for a Princess Key allowed him to really grow. He evolved shortly after, a dream he had but never thought he could achieve because he didn't actually think he was worthy enough for it. Seeing that he was changed by Shade, he felt an immense respect for her. However, his pride does get in the way at times, making the two butt heads as they both are great strategists in battle and they don't want to compromise at times. After some time struggling and coming to terms with each other, Shade agreed to allow Zim complete and total control on the field, just as long as Zim allows her to fill him in on the Pokemon he is facing against via her mind.

Name: Princess
Species: Jellicent - [TYPE]Water[/TYPE][TYPE]Ghost[/TYPE]
Gender: Female
Personality: A very bubbly and outgoing personality, Princess is a hugger, if not also a little vain and sassy at times. The epitome of a true princess spirit, she can be a little full of herself and enjoys parties way more than the average human might. In battle, she requires a little bit of guidance from her trainer, but only needs a few key words to help get her started. Once she's all warmed up, she doesn't need any help unless she needs some unorthodox guidance that only Shade's human brain can help with. She finds humans adorable and views them as pets, including her trainer. If she hugs people and Pokemon, don't be afraid. Just as long as you aren't over a deep body of water or on a boat, her instincts won't try and take you down with her.
Ability: Damp - Prevents explosions and damage from Aftermath.
Held Item: Nothing OR Ghostium-Z - Allows her to use the power of any Ghost-Type attack she knows for Never-Ending Nightmare or have any additional effects for any Ghost-Type Status move she knows.
History: As a Frillish, she was quite a sad and lonely individual. She was still vain as she is now, but only to a certain degree, as her slight depression either nullified this behavior or made it ten times worse. Of course, after battling Shade's Chu as a Pichu at the time when she tried to take Chu for how cute and adorable she was, she was amazed at the amount of power and bond they both shared. She wanted to experience that and became almost jealous and envious of Chu. She began stalking Shade throughout the Unova region and even followed her all the way to the Kanto region, where she was finally caught. Her and Chu had an intense rivalry with one another as Princess tried to find herself, but it was ultimately Chu who helped her with this. After one sparring match, Princess had evolved and realized that she already had what she wanted, but she still fought for something she thought she still needed to fight for. Of course, she only realized this when she almost drowned Chu in a deep body of water right after Princess evolved. Realizing her mistake, she apologized to Chu profusely and became a better part of Shade's team, almost idolizing Shade at times.

Name: Doom
Species: Houndoom - [TYPE]Dark[/TYPE][TYPE]Fire[/TYPE]
Gender: Male
Personality: Doom can be pretty serious when he is around anyone but Shade, to whom he can be as sweet as a little Lillipup and as protective as an Arcanine. He has a very gentle demeanor when he doesn't feel threatened, but can overwhelm foes with his flaming brutality. He doesn't exactly care if he causes burns that last forever on a target, but he tries not to as he doesn't want to make Shade feel bad. He is a very mixed fighter, and rarely uses Status moves.
Ability: Flash Fire - When hit by Fire-Type moves, it raises his physical damage as it bolsters his muscles.
Held Item: Nothing OR Darkinium-Z - Allows him to use Black Hole Eclipse with any Dark-Type attack he knows or use a variety effects with any Dark-Type Status move he knows.
History: As a Houndour, he was the heir to a pack of Houndour and Houndoom living near Mt. Moon. Shade had gotten too close to their pack and Doom was told to protect his pack and chase her off, or do worse things if she stayed and threatened their safety. Shade knowing what these packs were like due to books detailing their behaviors, began to use the body language of the Houndour. Doom was incredibly confused, but still had to do his duty, up until the leader of the pack came around to realize that the human before them was very different from the others. Testing her a couple of times, Doom's father warily tested her fighting skills against Doom, who agreed to fight her. Chu defeated Doom quite easily. Seeing that Doom could learn something from her, Doom's father sent Doom with Shade to train and come back as the leader to his pack. Reluctantly complying, he went with Shade and came back to his pack a few years later as a Houndoom. Of course, it has been awhile, his father was too old to continue to lead, and another Houndoom had taken over - a rival from a different pack. Determined to take his pack back, Shade trained him how to fight without her guidance and set him off against the pack leader. After a good and hard tussle, Doom won leadership of his pack. Shade then left Doom to keep protecting his pack and allowed the pack to live near her ranch, granted they don't try and eat any of the ranch's Pokemon. Agreeing, Doom now lives there peacefully with his pack, and agreeing to go with Shade when she asks while his mate and kids take over the leader's duties while he's gone.

Name: Mitosis
Species: Reuniclus - [TYPE]Psychic[/TYPE]
Gender: Female
Personality: A scientific and intelligent blob of enlarged cells, Mitosis loves and practically breathes science as she enjoys helping Shade out with her research. Mitosis will take any chance she can get helping Shade out with her scientific research, even if it means neglecting her health, to which Shade despises but she can't exactly complain as she does it, as well. During battle, she uses her tough body and calculating mind to see what could possibly happen and make a split second plan of action to counter it. She knows she isn't the fastest thing on the planet, but just as long as she can foresee it before it happens, she can win the battle or at least prep it for the next Pokemon.
Ability: Magic Guard - Only takes damage from direct damage, not damage from weather or status conditions.
Held Item: Nothing OR Psychium-Z - Allows her to use Shattered Psyche with any Psychic-Type attack she knows or use a variety effects with any Psychic-Type Status move she knows.
History: As a Solosis, she was quite the shy and quirky one. She loved to tumble about in her squishy ball and seemed very interested in life all around her. Shade had found her doing just that, completely oblivious to anything human-like around her. Opting to watch the little Solosis after awhile of contemplating whether or not to catch her as a surprise, Shade couldn't help but feel more and more attached to this adorable little ball full of curiosity. Mitosis realized Shade had been watching her and his away before realizing that Shade meant no harm. Still skittish and finding the fact that Shade had been watching her for who knows how long a little creepy, she realized that was what she was doing whenever she ran across something interesting. Shade then made an offer to allow Mitosis to travel with her and see and understand many amazing things. After contemplating it over, she decided to accept the deal if Shade could catch her. With Mitosis using Rollout to get away and using Psychic to slow her down with obstacles, Shade still caught her and Mitosis kept her end of the bargain. As she evolved, she grew more and more interested in life around her, and soon finding a passion for genetics and microbiological life like her trainer. Since her evolution into a Reuniclus, she has helped Shade with gathering material and taking care of Pokemon and her testing materials in exchange for finding the secret to life along with her trainer.

Name: Angelia "Angel" Shayton
Title(s): Tap Dancing Lady; The Merciless Fae-Lady
Age: 42
Gender: Female
Height: 5'04" (162.5 cm)
Hair Color: Pitch black, mid-back hair with a strand of white down her bangs.
Build: Skinny, yet toned.
Eye color: Pitch Black
Birthplace: Born in Laverre City, Kalos; moved to Hau'oli City, Melemele Island, Alola when she was young.
First Pokémon: Zorua (now a Zoroark)
Occupation: Wandering Tap Dancer and Teacher of Dark- and Fairy-Typed Pokemon and Z-Moves.
Affiliations: N/A
Likes: She likes her Pokemon, dancing, singing, and taking care of Pokemon.
Dislikes: She dislikes the other side of her and her insomnia.
Fears: She fears losing her Pokemon and becoming crippled.
Clothing/Accessories/Appearance: Her skin is a little pale and she has dark circles under her eyes from not sleeping very well. Her skin has a rare pigment disorder, which causes her cells/proteins/whatever in charge of the color of her skin to die, making her seem paler than what she really is. If her pigments didn't have this disorder, she'll be as dark as the natives from Alola. She is also quite fit, having a toned body due to her hobby, but still underweight and skinny. She wears a black, poofy dress, with poofy shoulders and white frills at the end of the shoulder-length cuffs and the bottom of the dress. Her dress has a bit of a high collar. She wears transparent, black tights and has a purse with little crystals all over the seams and the ends of the zippers. Her shoes are black and have tap dancing soles nailed to them. She has a Z-Ring on her left wrist. She sometimes either has a Darkinium-Z or a Fairium-Z in the slot.

She also has dance clothes and they are skin tight. She has a black spandex suit that covers the entire length of her arms, legs, and her torso, save for some designer holes that show off her belly button and her shoulders. From her left shoulder down to her right side is a wave of sparkles, similar to something seen on ice skaters.
Badges: All badges from Kalos.
Achievements: Along with having all eight badges in Kalos, she has all stamps from the Alola region except for the ones on Poni Island. She also is very experienced at using Z-Crystals.

Personality: Even though she is 42 years old, her mental age is closer aligned with the people who are around 30-34 and sometimes even younger. She is very immature and very naive, but becomes a savage during battle. She is very kind, selfless and caring to all who meet her, which can become quite bad for her when they begin to use her sweetness for their own selfish needs. She is always tired, but tries not to show this, but her body language shows. She slouches when sitting, and yawns a lot. Those dark circles under her eyes are from a lack of sleep due to chronic insomnia, which causes her to hallucinate slightly when awake, have trouble staying awake, be delirious at times throughout the day and not be able to remember what happens sometimes, and her Pokemon have begun training themselves because she always sleeps when she is trying to train them herself. Since her Pokemon are already very able in battle, they can battle when Angel is too busy sleeping standing up. Because of her tired state, she can be quite clumsy.

Her deliriousness can cause her to become quite scary when someone makes her angry. Since her mentality is strained, she could instantly snap and she would be as cruel as the Dark-Types she is fond of. She hates this side of her, so she keeps it locked away, even going as far as making herself fall asleep during an angering confrontation.

Battle Style: She tap dances and her Pokemon dance alongside these taps, sometimes even being synced with her. They dance to a rhythm and then they attack.

Background: When Angel was young, she was known as the one of the Fairy Tale girls, as she lived in Laverre City, wore a heavy, pink kimono, and had a charming, yet mysterious personality and loved Fairy-Types. Her mother would teach her how to bake and make pastes, salves, and soups that reinvigorate someone who is sick or injured. She was always seen as odd, especially when she made friends with a mute boy in the city. When she got word that they were leaving for Alola when she was 7, she gave the mute boy a blue bandanna to remember her by. Saddened by her departure, the mute boy gave her one last hug as a goodbye. When Angel arrived in Alola, her albino mother found a Zorua with a blue bandanna around his wrist in the bathroom, having left a box he stowed away in. Angel, connecting the dots that the mute boy was actually a Zorua, accepted him as a member of her team and nurtured him back to health. Since then, they have always been close.

After moving, she became more levelheaded, and spent more time with her Zorua and the local Dark-Types around Hau-oli City. She then began her adventure at the age of 10 and received her first starter from Hala: Litten. She also received a Pokemon Egg from her father, which hatched into a Togepi later in her adventure on Melemele Island. She then found a Popplio off the shore of Melemele Sea getting hurt from the Mareanie trying to bully the poor thing. Using her Zorua, she saved the Popplio and she went with her on her team and nursed her back to health. Later on Ula'Ula Island, she captured a Mimikyu after her Zorua evolved into a Zoroark, and her Togepi, Popplio, and Litten evolved twice into Togekiss, Primarina, and Incineroar, respectively. Wanting a start in another region, she went to Kalos and found Professor Sycamore struggling with a Froakie. She captured him after helping Sycamore calm the frog Pokemon down with a battle and he told her she could keep him. After catching the Froakie, he was very defiant and didn't want to do anything Angel said at first. It took them a good long year to fully understand each other and for Froakie to respect and appreciate Angel. Now, they are pretty close, with Froakie, now a Greninja, acting distant sometimes, but he really cares for his teammates and his trainer, whether it shows or not. She went took college courses while she was out and about teaching people about Dark- and Fairy-Type Pokemon and Z-Moves, as well as dance and yoga to help pay for her psychology and medicine classes.

She is now wanting to compete in tournaments to see how much she has to grow in terms of teaching her Pokemon other moves and skills.
