Applicants
Trainer Card: ID No. 32968
Name: Zephyr
Age: 18
Height: 5'10
Weight: 215 lbs
Region of Origin: Kanto
Trainer Bio: Born second in his family, Zephyr was eager to start his Pokémon training. He grew up loving all types of Pokémon with no particular favorite in mind. The fateful day on which he met his first Pokémon marked a day of history for Zephyr as he began to search the Kanto region as a Pokémon Trainer. When he isn't training his Pokémon, Zephyr is playing his guitar, writing in one of his many notebooks or having his nose deep inside of a book. Over past few years, after defeating the Kanto Elite Four, Zephyr has been traveling with his brother Cain and taking on what the entire world has to throw at them.
Pokémon 1: Blastoise
Bio: Met as a Squirtle on the banks of Pallet Town, the banks that connect to the waterway that, when surfed, leads to Cinnabar Island. It was clear that the Squirtle wanted to play with the youngster Zephyr; the young Squirtle was incredibly friendly and, from that day, became Zephyr's first Pokémon. Squirtle grew to be Zephyr's go-to Pokémon and, in a way, his favorite. As the two traveled across the map of the Kanto region; through those travels, the Squirtle grew to Wartortle and, ultimately, to the Blastoise Zephyr owns today.
Pokémon 2: Pidgeot (aka Pudge)
Bio: As Zephyr began his Pokémon journey, he came across a small Pidgey with a broken wing on Route 1. Herds of Rattata were crowded around the Pidgey and were closing in fast on the wounded bird Pokémon. Lest the Pidgey be killed by the horde of Rattata, Zephyr rushed in, taking the brunt of the Rattata's fangs. Quickly, Zephyr scooped the Pidgey up into his arms and hurried to Viridian City as fast as he could run. Zephyr took the Pidgey to the Pokémon Center and had the Pokémon taken care of. Pidgey felt indebted to Zephyr for saving his life and has been his companion since. The Pidgey, nicknamed Pudge, grew into Pidgeotto and finally Pidgeot as they continued along their way throughout the land.
Pokémon 3: Onix (aka Onyx)
Bio: When going through Mt. Moon, Zephyr ran into a trapped Onix that was closed off by a cave in and was very limited in movement. Enraged, the Onix slammed its head and tail against the rocks, but to no avail. Zephyr hurried to help the Onix in its time of need. But, the Onix's anger did not cease when Zephyr succeeded in freeing it from its entrapment. It attacked Zephyr with it's iron tail; Zephyr and Squirtle fought valiantly against the Onix and, after the incessant water type attacks, Onix fell. Zephyr easily captured the fainted Onix, later nicknamed Onyx, and began to train it in hopes to calm its hostile nature. Now, Onyx travels with him as a valued companion.
Pokémon 4: Growlithe
Bio: On one of the many Routes of the Kanto region, Zephyr stumbled upon a wild Growlithe. Zephyr had always admired the Growlithe species for their unfaltering pride and sought to capture one of his own. The wild Growlithe eagerly accepted Zephyr and his Wartortle's challenge. Despite Wartortle having the advantage, the wild Growlithe put up a courageous fight, continuing to attack even when there seemed to be no hope for it. In the end, it was Zephyr who was victor of the battle. As a result of the battle, Wartortle evolved into the Blastoise Zephyr now keeps in the front of his lineup. But also, Zephyr added a new addition to his team: a prideful Growlithe who would fight until the fire within him flickered no more.
Pokémon 5: Raichu (aka Shock)
Bio: Zephyr's original Pikachu was quite the explorer. When encountering the Pikachu, Zephyr was in the Viridian Forest, making his way to Pewter City. The Pikachu spotted Zephyr with some intense curiosity and began following him around like a lost puppy with no signs of fright. Ultimately, the Zephyr grew a soft spot for the wild Pikachu and let it join him on his travels. Be it that the Pikachu was indeed curious, this was the cause of Pikachu's evolving. One time, Zephyr set down his bag to relieve his shoulders for a moment. Pikachu curiously sniffed the bag, wondering what could be inside. Somehow, the Pikachu managed to get inside the bag and scrounge around inside it. However, a friend from another city gave Zephyr a Thunderstone for his help in a certain situation. The Pikachu was unaware to this and accidentally touched the stone that was within Zephyr's bag. When it had fully evolved into Raichu, it was given the nickname "Shock" on account of the expression the Pokémon bore when seeing it's new face in a mirror.
Pokémon 6: Scyther
Bio: Zephyr was feeling lucky one particular day and decided to pay a visit to the Celadon City Game Corner for a bit of relaxation. Zephyr was on a winning streak and, before he new it, he was up to a grand total of 9,000 coins. Figuring that he should quit while he was ahead, he took his winnings to the Prize Shop to see what he could cash his coins in for. As it turns out there were a few Pokémon for sale. One of which being a Scyther. The Scyther species was uncommon around Celadon, so Zephyr snapped at the chance to acquire such a rare Pokémon to that current situation. The Scyther turned out to be a strong fighter and a very versatile Pokémon that helped Zephyr in more ways than fathomable; from cutting down small trees that blocked his way, to being his back up Pokémon, Scyther had earned his spot on Zephyr's belt.
Trainer Card: ID No. 49375
Name: Cain
Age: 20
Height: 5'9
Weight: 180
Region of Origin: Kanto
Trainer Bio: The elder brother of his family, Cain set out on his journey quite earlier than his brother, Zephyr. After conquering the Kanto region, Cain set out to Johto and Hoenn to discover the new sorts of Pokémon that were unfamiliar to his homelands. Aside from training, Cain enjoys filling up sketchbooks with his personal artwork, fiddling around on the Internet and having a relaxing cigarette every now and then. Ever since his brother, Zephyr, defeated the Elite Four in Kanto, they've been traveling together, training, battling and whatever else decided to come their way.
Pokémon 1: Feraligatr (aka Feral)
Bio: In his initial quest throughout the Johto region, Cane visited the world renowned Professor Elm. He quickly befriended Elm, and Elm asked Cain to aid him in his research. As a token of his appreciation, Elm gave Cain the choice of one of three Pokémon: Cyndaquil, Totodile and Chikorita. The small alligator-like Pokémon seemed very energetic and showed a lot of potential in Cain's eyes. He chose Totodile and began training with him ever since. As he battled and traveled with Totodile, he grew to Croconaw and finally to Feraligatr. The intensity of his Pokémon's final evolution caused Cain to name him "Feral," because of the Pokémon's ferociousness. Ever since, Feraligatr has been a loyal asset to Cain's team. One that could not easily be replaced.
Pokémon 2: Ninetails
Bio: On Cinnabar Island, Cain and his adventurous nature led him to the abandoned Pokémon Mansion. There, he met a wild Vulpix that was very intimidated by his approach. As Cain started to initiate a battle with the small Vulpix, a large Ninetails leapt down from the second floor to protect the Vulpix. Cain readily battled with the Ninetails and was astounded by it's drive to protect others at the drop of a hat. He made the choice to capture the Ninetails and add it to his team. After the successful capture, he later noticed that the Vulpix was injured and that's why the Ninetails was protecting it. He quickly took the Vulpix to the Pokémon Center on Cinnabar and then released it back into the wild.
Pokémon 3: Tyranitar
Bio: Cain was on the Sevii Islands when a Larvitar attacked him because he disturbed its territory. Cain gladly took on the challenge. The small Larvitar put up quite the fight despite its small stature. Larvitar had nearly worn out Cain's Pokémon, but in a lucky turn of events, Cain's own Pokémon delivered the knockout blow. Cain captured the weakened Larvitar. Due to its strength and willingness to battle, he added Larvitar to his team. Through tough work and training, the once small Larvitar grew and grew until it became the fearsome Tyranitar Cain now has on his belt.
Pokémon 4: Sandslash
Bio: When Cain was traveling through the desert, he came across a wild Sandshrew. The Sandshrew seemed lost in the barren wasteland that was the desert. From what Cain could tell, it had gone days without any food or water and seemed to be weak from encounters with other wild Pokémon. Fortunately, Cain new the way to the nearest Pokémon Center and carried the Sandshrew there, where it was health was restored and it was given enough food to eat until it was satisfied. Ever grateful to Cain, the Sandshrew followed him in hopes to repay him for his kindness. Not long after that, during a Gym match in the Johto region, Sandshrew evolved into the Sandslash stage and to this day still fights for Cain.
Pokémon 5: Heracross (aka Cross)
Bio: Cain, in an attempt to test his worth as a trainer on his own, mano y mano with no help from his Pokémon, decided to enter one of the many Safari Zones scattered about the numerous regions. While there, he encountered a Heracross. The Heracross was defending its nest from a group of Nidorino. Cain watched as the Heracross effortlessly warded off the army of Nidorino who fled, noses in the dirt at their defeat. Cain could not let a lone warrior like this Heracross get away. Tempting the Heracross with a rock, the beetle Pokémon's attention soon fixed upon Cain. After a few unsuccessful attempts with the Safari Balls, Cain nearly gave up. But his instinct told him to give it one last try. With one final throw of a Safari Ball, the Heracross gave in and was Cain's from that day on. Naming the Pokémon Cross, he used Heracross as a stone wall that would never falter for its Trainer.
Pokémon 6: Houndoom (aka Apocalypticus)
Bio: Cain had made his camp one evening when a howl of a Houndoom came across the sky. Cain's other Pokémon were paralyzed with fear. Assuring them that it would be all right, they settled down. Only until a monstrous Houndoom barged its way into Cain's camp. With a snarl on its face, the Houndoom attacked the trainer. Tyranitar jumped in front of its master and knocked it back with a plated arm. The battle ensued and Houndoom soon found itself to be completely outmatched. But, before it could escape, Cain threw an Ultra Ball at the Houndoom; in its weakened state, the Houndoom was easily captured. Cain, upon this capture, named it Apocalypticus due to some of the myths surrounding the Houndoom species and vowed to tame its wild and violent nature.
