Name: Halt Jones
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Trainer/Co-Ordinator/Teacher: Trainer, but started late because of some fossil discoveries.
Appearance: Halt is about 5’9” and weighs 150 pounds, but the bag he always carries around with him weighs around 50 pounds. He’s body build is somewhat muscular, as it needs to be for him to help excavate fossils. His face is rugged, and his black hair is always messy. His brown eyes have a serious look to them, and Halt’s mouth is rarely seen smiling. His skin is slightly tanned.
Halt’s bag that he carries around is filled with excavating equipment, such as pickaxes, hammers, chisels, and rope painted blue every meter, for measuring. The bag also has a fossil, but Halt rarely takes it out to show around. The bag is a shoulder bag, brown in color, with a flap that has a lock that goes over the opening to the bag. Halt wears a white shirt, and wears a brown leather jacket over the shirt. His long pants are brown, with a black belt. His boots are hidden under his pant legs, but they are black with purple stripes. He wears a black fedora under witch his Anorith hides.
Personality: Halt is incredible mature for his age, often berating others for doing childish things, messing up, or anything else. In his mind, if you can’t win a battle then you’re useless. He believes that power makes the battle a win or lose, but Halt has a soft spot when it comes to physic and rock type. In battle, Halt is ruthless, mercilessly beating the enemy into the ground. A battle ends only when one pokemon can no longer stand, is what Halt goes into battle knowing. He does have some soft spots, as he protects his allies in double battles, unless he finds an opening. He is loyal to his friends, but his attitude often pushes people away.
History: Halt was born in Rustboro city, and was immediately deemed special. At the age of 5, he could already help fossil evacuations, by cleaning the fossils with a steady hand. He never went to the trainer school, yet was able to bond with the stubborn Ralts that he captured solo. Roxxane was even impressed with what he could, and sent him to Oreburgh for more training in fossils. There, he grew up around fossils and nearly lived in the Underground, mining for fossils.
At the age of ten, Roark gave Halt the choice between a Claw fossil or a root fossil. Halt choose the Claw, and cleaned it so well that the DNA of the creature was undamaged, along for a pure shiny Anorith to be created. Now with two pokemon in tow, Halt sent back home to Rustboro to help researchers document different fossil finds in the desert. At his sixteenth birthday, he realized that with the fossil finds, he missed his chance to be a trainer. Applying for the Battle Acadamy, he sped off to Slateport, awaiting a fresh start.
Pokemon (Max 3 since you are a medium level trainer, keep evolutions low until later on in the rp)
Species: female(still unsure on gender, most likely female) Ralts
Nickname: Psyco
Known attacks: Growl, Confusion, teleport, lucky chant, Ally switch, calm mind
Personality: Psyco is in no way psychotic. She prefers to sit back and avoid battle, and read of Halt’s magazines. As a result, people believe she is weak, but she can easily defeat pokemon much stronger and larger than herself. She is also snobbish, and will turn up food given to her by people she has not yet trusted.
Catch History: Psyco was Halt’s first pokemon, and the nature of her name was that Halt thought she was psychotic because she just kept growling at him. She refused to listen to him at first, but after completing the first gym together, she grew to respect him.
Species: Shiny Anorith
Nickname: Scuttle
Known attacks: Scratch, hone claws, mud sport, metal claw, water gun
Personality: Anorith is an extremely shy pokemon, preferring to hide under Halt’s fedora. In battle, however, Scuttle will attack with everything he’s got, not even thinking of a rest until his opponent is down on it’s knees in pain.
Catch History: Anorith was a gift from Roark when Halt turned ten. Because of the permanent scent of fossils on Halt, Anorith immediately attached itself to Halt.
Ta da!
