Name: Jon Mark Volpe
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 163 lbs
Family: Brian Giovanni Volpe (father), Hannah Blatchford Volpe (mother), Kynan "Kai Fox" Volpe (twin brother)
Hometown: Floccesy Town, Unova Region
Nature: Modest
Appearance: Blue-black short hair that's slightly shaggy, tanned skin, blue-grey eyes. Lean and muscled from farm work, but not especially tall. Often wears a muted blue, grey, or green shirt and jeans or khakis. Battered black and white sneakers. Blue-grey trainer gloves, fingerless. Brown leather messenger bag with a laptop and supplies. Occasionally wears t-shirts of movies his brother starred in, although that's only on laundry day. He and his brother are near identical, although Kai always looks more well-groomed.
History: Jon's father, Brian Volpe, and mother, Hannah, moved to Unova shortly after a tragedy struck Brian that caused him to lose most of his Pokemon team. With only the clothes on their back and a handful of Pokemon, Brian and Hannah made a life for themselves working at the Floccesy Ranch and Floccesy Pokecenter, respectively. Brian cut off all ties to his family in Johto and Hoenn, however, due to strong differences of opinion. The couple eventually had two twin sons, Kynan and Jon. Jon and Kai led a fairly normal childhood, helping their father on the Ranch when they weren't in school. Kai was a theater prodigy, starring in several plays at their school with his Oshawott. Jon, on the other hand, preferred to keep to himself and write stories or explore the ranch. Kai's talent landed him a spot at PokeStar Studios when he was 15, and his fame only grew. He took a fake name, Kai Fox, to increase his marketability. The same year, Jon started to travel around Unova, challenging gyms and even achieving four badges. He was always in the shadow of his now-famous brother, however. Jon moved to Cinsarah to escape his brother's shadow and try the League Challenge again.
Personality: Jon is quiet and down-to-earth, understanding the importance of hard work and humility. He has a strong connection to Pokemon and understands their body language as easily as his father and grandfather did. He trusts his Pokemon to know themselves and their own battle styles, and he very rarely calls commands, another trait inherited from his father. He's very shy around his brother, although he's a bit more open around other people. While fairly serious, he does have a bit of a dry humor streak that comes from everyone asking him whether he's related to Kai or not.
Pokemon Team
Species: Dewott
Name: Jack
Gender: Male
Ability: Torrent
Nature: Mild
Moves: Razor Shell, Surf, Swords Dance, Night Slash
Battle Style: Jack is elegant in battle, a master swordsman with his twin razor shells. He dances around his opponents and strikes every so often, preferring to parry attacks and tire out his opponent before going in for the last strike.
Other: Jack was the one Pokemon on Jon's team that chose not to evolve fully. He is the younger brother of Kynan's Samurott, Charlie, and lives in the shadow of his famous older brother, much like how Jon lives in Kai's shadow. Jon and Jack share a close bond and understand each other nearly perfectly. He lost his ear from a battle with his older brother. He is quiet and contemplative, although he can get moody at times.

Name: Erin
Gender: Female
Ability: Intimidate

Battle Style: Erin is wild and unrestrained, a literal firestorm in battle. Fast and relentless, she doesn't care much for weaknesses, preferring to tackle problems head-on.
Other: Erin is brash, aggressive, and cocky, always teasing the rest of the team. In particular, she likes being around Willie and joking about his seriousness. She's quick to smile and quick to anger. She dislikes other female Pokemon, and she absolutely hates Nym.
Level: 89
Species: Stoutland
Name: William "Willie"
Gender: Male
Ability: Sand Rush
Nature: Brave
Moves: Return, Superpower, Crunch, Wild Charge
Battle Style: Willie is the restraint to Erin's wildness. He's patient and calm in battle, waiting for the right moment to attack an opponent's weakness. While not as fast as Erin, he can usually outspeed opponents in a sandstorm.
Other: Willie was the first Pokemon Jon caught, right outside Floccesy. He's loyal to most of his teammates, although he distrusts Nym. He's hopelessly in love with Erin, who seems indifferent to his affections. He's usually described as cautious and serious.
Level: 83
Species: Lucario
Name: Brynden "Bryn"
Gender: Male
Ability: Inner Focus
Nature: Serious
Item: Poison Barb (used as a dart)
Moves: Aura Sphere, Bullet Punch, Dragon Pulse, Feint
Battle Style: Bryn is the best strategist on the team, outthinking his opponents and using a variety of styles. He often acts predictable for a while, and then he completely changes his style midway through the battle. He incorporates a lot of projectiles into his primary battle style.
Other: Bryn is the thinker of the team and often coordinates their strategies for double and triple battles, even if he's not competing. He is closest with Buck, who he considers to be an equal. He lost his right eye in a fight with Elesa's Zebstrika.

Name: Buck
Gender: Male
Ability: Chlorophyll
Nature: Hardy
Moves: Horn Leech, Take Down, Megahorn, Nature Power
Battle Style: Buck, when he is in battle, focuses on overpowering the opponent by way of size and power. He keeps himself healed through Horn Leech. He prefers to fight only for survival against wild Pokemon, rather than trainer battles.
Other: Buck is a rugged survivalist, often acting as a scout for the rest of the team when traveling through mountains and forests. While gruff, he isn't completely antisocial, and he's well-liked by the rest of the team for his advice about how to use their battle skills outside of fights. He trusts his gut instincts about others.
