Introduction: Andrew

Hello! The name's Andrew. I'm your typical everyday Pokémon trainer. I'm rather tall, about 6ft 3in, with rectangular black glasses, green eyes, and messy brown hair. I always wear my typical blue jeans with a red shirt with a blue zigzag stripe across the center and my typical black sneakers. You may know me from my many league challenges. Yes, it was me that placed second in the Unova conference. I also placed fourth in the Johto League and top ten in the Sinnoh league. Don't ask me about my Hoenn of Kanto league challenges though… those didn't end very well at all… I am currently setting out for a new Pokémon League challenge known as the Nova League. It is supposed to be very exclusive, and only the top trainers are invited to participate in it. The boat ride is taking a while, so in that time, let me tell you about myself:

I was born in Lavaridge Town in the Hoenn Region. My dad is a ranger for the Jagged Pass and my mom is a tour guide at the volcano. When it turned ten, I was sent to Professor Birch to receive my first Pokémon. If you couldn't guess by now, I did, in fact, chose Torchic to be my first ever Pokémon. I then journeyed throughout the Hoenn region, collecting my team and winning badges. However, only two Pokémon I collected from Hoenn, Blaziken and Gardevoir have stayed with me in my final team. The other four, Mightyena, Ninjask, Flygon, and Swellow, are all at my family's ranch in the Hoenn region.

After failing to even place in the Hoenn League, I journeyed to Kanto. Once I earned all eight of my badges with a completely new team, something happened. I was at the Indigo League check-in when four of my Pokémon were stolen from me. Well, I just could NOT let that fly, so, I went after the thief and, when I came back, I missed the deadline. I was upset. Devastated in fact. I sent my five Pokémon from the Kanto region, Lapras, Gengar, Sandslash, Fearow, and Exeggutor, to live on my family's ranch as well.

After this major devastation, I moved west to the Johto region. I took on the Gym Leaders there and collected five new Pokémon as well: Ampharos, Donphan, Espeon, Skarmory, and Ursarang. With these five and my trusty Blaziken, I made it all the way to fourth place in the Johto League challenge. I have kept Ampharos with me for the Nova League, like I have with Gardevoir and Blaziken, and the rest are at the ranch.

Next came Sinnoh. Here, I captured Drifblim, Garchomp, Roserade, Staraptor, and Luxray. This, to date, would have to be the most challenging region I have been to. The gyms were so difficult and I'm surprised I even made it in time for the Sinnoh League. I was even more surprised that I made the top ten in this league. As of right now, Drifblim, Roserade, and Luxray are at my ranch and Garchomp and Staraptor are with me for the Nova League.

My final, and most successful, challenge was the Unova Conference. As with the other regions, I captured five new Pokémon, Jellicent, Bisharp, Reuniclus, Scolipede, and Garbodor. Together, we conquered the gyms of Unova and tackled the Unova Conference tournament. We placed second. We lost to a trainer named Jared, a very tough opponent indeed, especially with his Hydreigon and Volcarona… As of now, I took Bisharp with me to the Nova League, and the others are… Well, you know.

Well, that's my story in a nutshell. In case you didn't put it together, I am taking on the Nova League challenge with Blaziken, Gardevoir, Ampharos, Staraptor, Garchomp, and Bisharp. I'm hoping that they will work well together. This is bound to be a long, and difficult journey, so I am writing this to chronicle my adventures there. As of right now, I can finally see the Nova League on the horizon, so this means that the challenge is approaching fast.
