A/N: After thinking about it, I just decided to add this in as a chapter. I didn't want to since it's not really part of the story, but it'll be easier than people going out of their way to find out more about a character.
Character Profile: Tyrel
Tyrel is a 16 year old aspiring Pokemon Breeder, taking a very keen interest in pokemon interactions with one-another, as well as evolution. Unlike many young trainers starting their journey who receive one of three starter pokemon, Tyrel stumbled upon an egg on his home island of Mossdeep. After Prof. Birch was unable to identify it, Tyrel took care of it until it hatched into a charmander, one of the starter pokemon of the Kanto region. Prof. Birch was so intrigued by Tyrel's find that he entrusted him with yet another egg that one of his helpers had found in the field. In time, this egg hatched into a beldum. From that sparked an interest that to this day has driven him across the world conducting studies of pokemon.
Character:
Tyrel is an outspoken person, voicing his opinion in any forum whether in the majority or not. He puts immense faith in his beliefs and is very willing to defend them, whether by argument or by battle. He's been known to be hot-headed and easily frustrated by ignorance, lashing out at people who make stupid or easily-debunked claims. He is otherwise a very coolheaded and calm person, even in battle. The only time he was known to be distraught while battling was when he attempted to take on Roark of the Oreburgh City gym, when his beldum was still very young and he otherwise relied on his charmander which was easily defeated by the rock-types that Roark used. Since then, Tyrel has made no attempts at any gym badges. To this day he continues on his path to become a Pokemon Breeder, and even hatched an eevee that later evolved into a glaceon. Upon his return to Hoenn, Tyrel decided to compete in the resident competitions as a recreational pastime. To his surprise, he won the first two he attempted, one with his charmander and the other with his glaceon. He has yet to express any interest in competing in the Grand Festival. Tyrel currently resides in Mossdeep and can be found traversing the Hoenn region conducting research.
Appearance:
Tyrel is 5'11" with light-blue hair spiked toward the back and brown eyes. He wears a blue and white striped shirt tucked into his pants which are a very dusty yellow. His shoes are white flat-bottoms. Now and again he can be seen wearing glasses.
Trainer Class:
Tyrel's ambition in life is to become an entirely new class of Pokemon Breeder, specializing in "selective breeding," in which trainers can breed a pokemon exactly to their liking right down to their nature. Tyrel also shows many of the traits of a Pokemon Professor, being very knowledgeable in specific areas of pokemon research and pursuing further knowledge by any means available whenever opportunity strikes. He and his pokemon have battled quite a bit on their journeys, though Tyrel has only ever attempted one gym battle early on in his career, which he lost. He has, however, acquired two of the Hoenn region ribbons from local contests, which took him by surprise. He has yet to decide whether or not to attempt the Grand Festival, which could take time away from his traveling and research.
Pokemon:
Tyrel's first pokemon was a female charmander that hatched from an egg he found on his home island in the Hoenn region. This was an extremely odd occurrence, as charmander is one of the starter pokemon of the Kanto region and isn't commonly found in the Hoenn region, let alone as an egg. It has been with him since a young age and has yet to express any interest in evolving. Upon seeing the wonderful condition that his charmander was in, Prof. Birch of Hoenn entrusted another unidentifiable egg to Tyrel's care. This egg hatched into a beldum, a resident pokemon of the Hoenn region which was known to have very odd evolution characteristics. After his second egg hatched, Tryel ventured into the Sinnoh region to study beldum in their natural habitat. Throughout his time in the Sinnoh region, his beldum evolved first into a metang and then into a metagross not long afterward. After evolving so quickly, Tyrel's metagross became unruly and refused to listen to the young breeder for a short period, until he was cornered by a pair of ursaring, where Tyrel showed great trainer skills in commanding his charmander to dispatch of them quite easily. Since then his metagross has been loyal to his commands. Tyrel's final pokemon is a glaceon that evolved from an eevee he acquired through an egg in the Sinnoh region. While traveling near Snowpoint City, Tyrel was training with his eevee. To his surprise, it began evolving. Everything he had learned about eevee had been that it needed a stone of some sort in order to evolve. He later learned of the special properties of leafeon and glaceon, only further fueling his drive to learn all about pokemon evolution, using the help of his newly evolved glaceon.
