unova champion - female - 24 - pokemon team - user
well-spoken, ambitious, strict, literally has the patience of a saint

❖

undoubtedly the most powerful trainer in unova, earning the champion title at 19 and remai
ning undefeated for over than four years. (name) is the daughter of a former member of the
hoenn elite four. ever since she could remember, she and her younger sister were always ta
ught the skills of pokemon battling and consistently practiced by battling against one anoth
er. though this was intended to build healthy sportsmanship, it eventually grew into rivalry,
as (name)’s sister would come to resent her for being able to defeat her in many of their ba
ttles. (name) initially tried to mend their relationship, but after she was insulted by her sist
ister, she severed their bonds entirely — pursuing her now lonesome journey accompanied
by her trusted pokemon. (name)’s stellar performance in her gym challenges eventually cau
ght the attention of former elite four caitlin, who lent her a gentle helping hand and becam
e her mentor. after training for two years under her tutelage, caitlin encouraged (name) to t
ake on the upcoming annual league challenge for she trusted that she could be crowned ch
ampion. despite not speaking to both her sister and her mother, she still gave them two tick
ets to watch her championship match, to which only her mother came to attend. in an inten
se 30-minute battle, (name) emerged victorious, winning over the league as she became un
ova’s newest champion. as a central figure of the league, (name) has been invited to the gr
and reopening of the nacrene gym. though she may look indifferent after learning that her
sister is to be its first challenger, no one really knows how (name) truly feels inside. natura
lly, (name) has a large fanbase, though her inactivity in social media makes her appearance
outside the battlefield quite rare...

professor - male - 27 - breloom, vaporeon, raichu, togekiss - lacke
intelligent, cold, reserved, sleep deprived but seems to sleep all the time

❖

the youngest pokemon professor in the world, specialising on pokemon adaptability and evol
ution. ever since his childhood, (name) always loved the science behind pokemon and resolv
ed to become a professor. after finishing his internship at professor juniper’s lab at 18, (nam
e) went to study in the galar university of sciences where he graduated top of the class at 21.
(name) took his apprenticeship at the university where he often assisted with lectures and sc
ientific publications. in his time as an assistant professor, he met a student who was appoint
ed by his senior to assist him with research projects. though he was not the most excited to
make friends with a junior, the two eventually grew as close as they are productive, publishi
ng multiple articles to pokemon researchers monthly, hosting seminars as well as becoming
co-authors of the renowned book: “evolution: the question of”. (name) eventually moved ba
ck to his home region of unova at 25, where he became known as the youngest professor in
the entire world and the reluctant face to the scientific community in the region. (name) isn'
t one for small talks, and coupled with his towering figure, many find him intimidating — pr
obably that’s why no one ever dared to apply as his assistant. after learning that his former
junior has graduated from the galar university of sciences, (name) immediately contacted h
im, suggesting him to take his apprenticeship in his lab as his assistant. accepting the offer,
the two promised to meet at nacrene city where (name) invited him as his plus one to the g
rand reopening of the nacrene gym. (name) could often be found in his lab in aspertia city,
either pulling up all-nighters or sleeping in bizarre places all around his office, leaving his
bed untouched

celebrity tourist - female - 24 - pokemon team - user
frigid, sharp-tongued, hard-working, “excuse me, he said no pickles”

❖

a famous actress from kalos. (name) is the daughter of a socialite mother and a movie star f
ather. the stories that her father would tell of his life in front of the camera naturally encour
aged her to follow his father’s legacy and create one of her very own. she first landed some
e roles in several tv shows due to her father’s network — yet all that seemed superficial, as i
f it were never hers at the first place. (name) eventually went to unova at 17 with a friend of
hers, an aspiring pokemon coordinator, in order to build herself her own career. she started
off with commercials and small tv shows before being scouted at 19 to star in “everlasting m
emories”, a science-fiction horror where she played the daughter of a crazed scientist who t
urned out to be the hidden antagonist. the film was mostly shot at the nacrene museum, wh
ere (name) was introduced by her friend to the museum’s junior curator and archaeologist,
who then became her boyfriend. “everlasting memories” was a blockbuster hit, and one of t
he most highly praised movies in unova. this catapulted (name) into several other major rol
es in movies of great success. (name) is known for her snappy comebacks, snarky attitude, a
nd being a workaholic, the last of which became a huge factor of her break up with her boyf
riend, as she ended their relationship when she moved back to kalos at 22 to further her car
eer back home. as the 5th anniversary of “everlasting memories” coincides with the grand r
eopening of the nacrene gym, (name) was invited to attend the event as an honourable gue
st. she planned to reject the invitation to avoid the awkwardness of meeting her ex there, b
ut after her coordinator friend’s endless persuasion, (name) ended up taking the invitation i
n the end, booking the next flight from kalos to unova

ming a fighting-type specialist. when the prestigious galar national trainer’s academy opene
d its scholarship program through an exhibition match, (name) jumped at the opportunity a

uming mime jr. trainer who (name) and his friends bullied everyday often to the point of tea
rs. two years after graduating at 18, (name) is invited by the unova league to replace marsh
al and take his mantle as an elite four. as part of the league, he’s expected to come alongsi

master coordinator & idol - female - 24 - pokemon team - user
extraverted, oblivious, sympathetic, overdresses 24/7

❖

a famed contest idol and the youngest master coordinator in the entire globe, earning the t
itle when she was only 20 years old. (name) is a key figure in the pokemon contest world w
ho revolutionised the popularity of contests and coordinators in unova, a region which previ
ously lacked any official contest committee until recently. (name) is noted by many pokemo
n coordinators and critics as the face of the unova contest hall located in nimbasa city, a gr
and establishment where the pokemon musical building used to be located. moving from ka
los to unova with her best friend, an aspiring actress, (name) joined the then-newly-establi
shed nimbasa contest hall when she was 17, when the pokemon contest industry in unova
was only a fledgling met with confused and unenthused citizens. yet, all things changed w
hen (name) performed for the very first time and lit up the entire stage, breathing life into
the establishment with her unique performance of combining singing, choreography, and h
er pokemon’s performance into one appeal. that day struck a historic note in unova’s enter
tainment industry, jumpstarting the success of pokemon contests in unova and opening up
promising career avenues for aspiring coordinators. (name) is childhood friends with a juni

wo to start dating. when the two broke up, however, (name) found herself in an awkward l
imbo for the two still remained her friends, but they are definitely not to one another. no

egged for her best friend, now a renowned actress who moved back to kalos, to come wit
h — a request that the latter begrudgingly accepted

assistant professor - male - 23 - mr. rime, sylveon, dragapult, milotic - beaux
polite, overthinking, selfless, that one mom friend

❖

a fresh graduate from the esteemed galar university of sciences, having garnered considerabl
e recognition from the scientific community even at such a young age. (name) is a young ma
n from a family of gym leaders, frontier brains, and elite fours. thus, it’s no surprise that he
initially pursued the a path in battling. at 16, he was enrolled to the galar national trainer’s
academy with mime jr. as his partner. due to his rather withdrawn, timid behaviour, (name)
was met with a harsh social treatment by his peers, made worse by the fact that he was con
stantly picked on by his classmates, especially a certain fighting-type trainer. tolerating no
more of the mistreatment, (name) dropped out of the academy at 17, giving up on his drea
ms of becoming a trainer. however, not all was bleak for him; noticing his naturally bookish
disposition, (name)’s mother encouraged him to become a professor. (name)’s demotivatio
n was quelled as he applied and was accepted to the galar university of sciences at 19. even
in his first year, (name)’s intelligence was apparent, so much so that a lecturer made him h
is research assistant. at this time, (name) met a fresh graduate of the university who was u
ndergoing his apprenticeship therein. although their clashing personalities, (name) finally
met someone who shared the same interests as him and the two became close friends. aft
er graduating at 23 with the highest marks in all his batch and co-authoring the famous b
ook “evolution: the question of” with said senior, (name) was called by him with the offer
of becoming his assistant in unova for his apprenticeship. elated by this offer, (name) qui
ckly accepted it, packed his bags, and booked the earliest one-way flight to unova

gym challenger - female - 20 - blaziken, weavile, flygon, zebstrika - whispersome
stubborn, trustworthy, generous, running on caffeine 24/7

❖

the younger sister of unova’s current champion: an up-and-coming star in the pokemon batt
ling community of unova, known for her risky, reckless, yet intelligent tactics which have be
come the talk of the gym leaders around the region. ever since her childhood days, (name) h
as been taught how to train and how to battle pokemon, no doubt thanks to her mother wh
o was once a part of the hoenn elite four. as such, both (name) and her older sister always k
new for a fact that they’re to pursue a career as trainers. indeed, (name) is a powerful traine
r in her own right, yet her sister was always somehow a step above her, never even once losi
ng a battle against her. as she holds great value in her aspirations of becoming a full-fledge
d trainer, (name)’s consecutive defeats at the hands of her sibling cut deep at her pride, spa
rking an intense rivalry between the two both on and off the battlefield. admittedly, (name)
did go a tad bit too far once, insulting her sister in a fit of shame, resulting her to cut off all
contact with her. as (name) learnt that her older sister has been crowned champion of unova,
she turned this into fuel for her ambition as a pokemon trainer. intensifying her training regi
me and cultivating both older and newer skills of hers, (name) finally took on the gym challe
nge at 20 years of age. now having earned all but one badge, (name) has set her sights on th
e reopened nacrene gym, housing the toughest gym leader in all of unova. knowing that first
her battle within the nacrene gym will be celebrated with its grand reopening, and second, t
hat her sister will be there to attend, (name) knew that this may be the most important mil
estone of her journey thus far

rock-type gym leader - male - 25 - pokemon team - user
selfless, studious, diligent, says "good morning" to his fossils

❖

the current deputy director of nacrene museum, an archaeologist, and a skilful pokemon tra
iner. (name) is the newest gym leader under the unova league, replacing clay of driftveil city
when his gym closed down in the previous year. an intelligent young man, (name) grew up to
follow his mother’s footsteps and went on to pursue a career in archeology. initially, pokemo
n battling never really intrigued him, until he met and befriended his partner pokemon in on
e of his mother’s expedition site. discovering a new excitement in pokemon training, (name)
consequently became a part-time pokemon trainer. he eventually landed a position as a juni
or curator for the nacrene museum at 19, where he helped develop the museum’s growing c
ollection. at one point, a filming crew rented the museum as a set for an upcoming horror m
ovie called “everlasting memories” — (name) wasn’t the most excited for their arrival, fearin
g that they may damage the museum’s collection. yet, it is at that same time that he met his
then-girlfriend, one of the starring actresses in the movie, when his long-time friend introd
uced her to him. the two started dating for more than 3 years until their eventual break up d
ue to her having to move back to kalos, and his divided time as both a curator and pokemon
trainer. now, (name) became the deputy director for nacrene museum and was granted the a
pproval to once again repurpose it as a pokemon gym. after months of dealing with the pape
rwork, he was designated as the leader of the nacrene gym. after a trial battle with the cham
pion, she decided that (name) shall rightfully be placed as the last gym challenge for trainer
s for his level of difficulty to overcome in battle. (name) is actually quiet nervous that the le
ague is throwing such a big event for his gym’s reopening, but is nonetheless proud that the
y have trusted him
