»--- Personality


◈ Sorry guys, I'm a total a*****e. Don't make that face, you shouldn't take it personally. I just like to tease people until they roll with it, cry, or get mad and try and punch me in the face. It's what I do. I'm just a laid back easy going guy and half the time I don't take you seriously. It's gotten me into trouble with Administrators and Executives but what the hell do I care? I don't do well with authority anyway and I hate being bossed around. I especially hate Team Rocket, but I'll get into that later. Let's talk about what I love. I love money even more than I love women. I'd pass up a date with a hottie for a fat stack of hundreds. Now this doesn't mean I'll lose myself over a buck or two. I'm more classy than that. I like the big bucks. Money that will make a difference in my deep pockets. Which brings us to my love of gambling. Hey, it's not an addiction so don't even say it. It's not killing me and it's better than lung cancer. Gambling has made me an excellent liar and not many can read past my poker face. Besides, it's hard for me to express myself anyway. Don't even get me started with all that mushy stuff girls are on about. I'm not a romantic and I never will be.
That doesn't mean I can't flirt. I'm a great actor and I have a silver tongue and saucy attitude. I can talk money out of a man's wallet and spin lies without leaving loose ends. I'm not afraid to admit I manipulate people to get what I want. There's something exciting about seeing how far I can pull the wool over someone's eyes. Honestly, though, I'm not a bad guy when you get to know me. I hardly get mad and if I know you're trying to push me over the edge I'll just blow you off. I can be really frustrating and sometimes I'll make things difficult for people just to piss them off. I do know when to stop; however. It's not cool to carry petty things too far. What do you think I am, five?
I care for people I'm close to in my own way. My actions speak for themselves, despite my harsh words. Honestly, it's for your own good. Babying someone isn't going to give them a backbone. Maybe because I was never given positive encouragement as a kid I don't know how to give it? Whatever, I have my own way of doing s**t and if you don't like it too bad.


»--- History


◈ I don't have all day so I'll make this as short as I can.
I grew up in Saffron city as a kid. My family was pretty well off, my father having worked at Silph. Co. I'd run around with the other kids and cause mischief, nothing out of the usual for a city boy, honestly. We'd play in the streets, battle each other with our family's pokemon. I had a Shinx growing up, he was like a housecat when we were at home. My father got him as a gift for being promoted, and the pokemon and I ended up playing together a lot. We would go outside to play and have practice battles with my friend and her Oddish. That kind of stuff. My mother was a housewife during the day. My father made enough money to support us so she took care of everything at home. It was all smooth sailing in my eyes. My mother was pretty at the time. Her heart shaped face was framed in tight sand colored curls that bounced when she walked. I look just like my father, only my dark hair has a hint of indigo highlights. He's tall with broad shoulders, a stern expression that let everyone know you didn't want to cross him. I always avoided a spanking from him when I could.
Now my father doesn't strike you as someone who would cheat on his loving wife. The evidence was well hidden until my mother went to the office to give him his briefcase that he forgot at home. My father also forgot to lock his office door, so the cat was out of the bag. Divorce reared it's ugly head and my mother took me and left. We moved to Celedon where she slowly broke down into a pathetic mess. I was thirteen at the time and ended up watching the whole thing unfold. My mother's natural beauty was dissappearing when she resorted to other means of making money. To get away from it all Shinx and I would go out of the house most of the day. We eventually found the game corner and all the fat cats who played there. At first the group of men and women who gambled there thought I was a pest. They'd taunt me a little every day but I learned quick and used my pre-teen mouth to tell them to shut their mouths in the most creative ways possible. They'd usually laugh but I ended up growing on them. One of the men named Ace, a dangerous looking man, invited me to play with them one day. He was cool. Much cooler than my father. He had these dark eyes that said he didn't put up with bullshit, an old dusty hat that sat atop wavy black hair. The stumble on his his chin made him look rugged. He was a total badass and I worshipped him. This man paved the way to my gambling and he taught me pretty much everything I know. Though I'll never be as good as him. I learned how to bluff, keep a straight face and he even taught me how to battle with pokemon on the side. He was really tough on me, though after awhile. Every day he'd be at the game corner and every day I'd go and see him. He was like a replacement father, a hole I had been trying to fill since my mother was now irritable after my father left. The more I began looking like my father the more she seemed to resent me. She would go through bi-polar fits. After she'd throw a b***h fit and screamed at me she'd go back to a loving mother and tell me how sorry she was. It was a vicious cycle with her. So I stayed away from home as often as possible.

Gambling as much as I did I eventually got enough coins to get myself a pokemon at the prizes. Ace watched in the background as I picked out my first pokemon. A Scyther. We went outside and I released my prize. It...did not go well. When Scyther first saw me he began slashing at me with his scythes. By that time, Shinx had evolved into a Luxio, so he managed to intervene with an electric attack. Ace pulled me out of harms way and returned the poke'mon to his ball. After that he began helping me train the Scyther. Ace slowly became my hero and someone I looked up to. Until a few old time friends of his came by the Game corner one day. They were suspicious and douche bag looking. One of them had the nerve to target me and questioned why a snot nosed brat would be tailing after Ace like a love sick puppy. The man was then told off with a few choice words that no fourteen year old should know. The look on his face was priceless before he broke into a grin and laughed out loud, saying I sounded just like Ace. It was then that Ace brough the three men into the back room where the smoke gathered high on the ceiling and kids under eighteen weren't allowed. That didn't stop me from going to the door and putting a glass cup up to it. I listened in with my Luxio, wanting to know who these asshats were.
I heard muttering and talk about how Ace had a job to do.

"You sure you can do it, man? You softened up over the years!" One of the men laughed.

"And what makes you think that." Ace's rough voice was distinctly heard.

"You're hanging aorund brats now! If you've adopted the kid I don't think you'd be able to do this kind of work without second thoughts." Another spoke.

"I can do the ******** job, the kid means nothing." The sound of a chair scraping the floor rang in my ears, but not as loud as Ace's words.

"Now tell me the details befor-"

It was all I needed to hear. I didn't know if Ace meant those words or if he was just saying that to get his old friends off his back. I wasn't going to cry about it, not matter how much it made my chest tight. Screw this. I ended up walking out the Game corner and I didn't return. I went home, grabbed my bag packed a set of clothes and a big roll of money with some food and other supplies. I just left. I don't know why I did it and I didn't know where I was going. But I went to the poke'mart and bought spare pokeballs. Then I just left the city.

I became a trainer and grew a lot. I had a growth spurt on my travels and my Luxio evolved into a Luxray. My Scyther was actually listening to me and in Fuscia city I won a Lapras off of a woman I was gambling with. I did what I wanted, gambled where I wanted and generally kicked a**. That is, until I gambled at the wrong casino. I had a Luxray and you know what Luxray can do? They can see through s**t. X-ray vision. And you know what, I used that to cheat when I gambled. I was on a winning streaked in that casino and I walked out of that place with so much money. I mean, you don't even know. I had stacks of greens and I was in heaven. I used it all up on a couple of expensive things. I had bought a Shiny Dratini. I mean come on! A shiny Dratini and people with that kind of pokemon don't part easily with it unless you have a ton of cash. Sadly, I had that Dratini for one day....

Team Rocket came knocking at my door. They knew I cheated when they looked at the security cameras. They wanted their money back. They dragged me down to the basement of their casino with a bag on my head. They beat the crap out of me but all the got was snide remarks and laughing in their faces. Being beaten was like a slap on the wrist. So they did something more drastic. If I couldn't produce the money they were going to take something of almost equal value. They took my pokemon... They only left me one, the small Natu that was of no use to them. I was to work off my debt to them. And when I did only then I would see my pokemon again. At first I gave Team Rocket a hard time. I tried infultrating their base to steal back my pokemon after they let me in. They kicked my a** and told me if I tried anything my pokemon were dead. I grudgingly do their dirty work for them. Sometimes they let me see my Luxray...but only over a screen. I would teleport over to them if I knew where exactly they were...

I didn't think there was a possible way for me to break. Team Rocket showed me otherwise. When I get my poke'mon back, they're going to pay. They have to let me go at some point. When they do all hell is breaking loose.

Natu // Nauty

[Ability] Synchronize
[None]
/♀?


• Nauty is a strange little bugger. She often stares off into space or at an object for a long period of time until the thing moves. She's easily spooked like most Natu so she often seeks comfort by sitting on my shoulder. Nauty is a little sweetheart, honestly and she doesn't like to battle. It makes me feel guilty when we do have to battle, but what can we do?
  
  When I originally caught her, the Natu was in bad shape. I found her in the forest all beaten up. To this day I'm still not sure if she was abandoned by a trainer or if I stumbled upon her after a losing battle. After catching her to take her to the pokemon center, Nauty just ended up being like a sort of pet. She was too scared of her own shadow for me to release her again so I let her tag along with me. She never got any battle experience because I used my other pokemon so much.

Nidoran // Molly

[Ability] Poison point
[None]
/♀


• I have a habbit of taking in pokemon in need apparently. Molly just kind of stuck around so I don't mind taking her with me. Besides, it will be good for Nauty to socialize with another pokemon. So far Molly is pretty energetic and friendly, probably because I stopped her from becoming dog food. I'm confident in my ability to properly train her to battle in place of Nauty.
