Professor S. Oak Trainer Files: Entry 1, Red

Name: Roderick Ephraim Daniels "Red"

Age: 16

Hometown/Region: Viridian City Outskirts Kanto.

Status: Beginner Trainer, Field Research Assistant... Dex Holder.

Starter Pokémon: TBD (Presumed Charmander.)

Psychological Description: Red is intense; in dealing with him I am often reminded of former trainer Satoshi "Ash" Ketchum. He is as passionate and unpredictable as a grumpy Tauros. Only with a better demeanour. His start at 16 is an irritation to him, as is his name. He is never referred to by his first name, except by his mother who of course uses it every chance she gets. He took the name Red thanks to his initials, and for a person with his fiery demeanour it seems appropriate. When he gets involved he goes all out with no reservations. I cautiously predict he will select Charmander as his starter; most of that Pokémon are quite energetic and happy Pokémon. A fitting match.

Physical Description: Red is a medium height, his hair is a curious reddish bronze, it has been seen to almost shine like bronze in direct sunlight. He eats a lot but due to both his high metabolism and his blunt approach to situations he remains slender and slightly muscular. His standard apparel is black with a red t shirt worn as a highlight. His only accessory is a bracelet in the shape of a Gyrados, made of what I believe to be Unovan Silver. It is thought to have belonged to his father.

Final Thoughts: Red should make an excellent addition to our Dex Holder ranks. He has the energy and passion of the Breeder, but his quick mind seems to me to indicate that he is the new Battler. My only concern is his father. The man went missing a year ago... I'm concerned with what that could mean for the journey ahead.
