Name: Reckard J. Kage
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Starter Pokemon: Bulbasaur
Personality: He seems to not be a social person at first glance, and if he dosen't know you, your probably right. He's usually a quiet thinker, though within the inner chasims of his mind a strong person with outrageous confidence in him self. He usually only shows that unpredictable side to Bulbasaur and people he truly knows and cares about. When he get's angry at someone, his Type-A perosnality kicks in and his eye sometimes twitches to hide his anger. He is mostly a very strong, unpredictable person with his friends, and an unoticable face in a crowd. He is also very srategic and in battle with use complex actions to bring his opponent to his knees.
History: Growing up in the humble world of Lavender Town, Reckard usually got used to the death, and heavy sadness looming in the air from time to time, but the apparent lonliness had driven him crazy by the time he was 10. He lived with his parents near Mr.Fuji's house and they became good friends with him, often letting Reckard view the hiddne chasims of the Pokemon Tower, and seeing the wondering souls of many pokemon. He loved being around the spirits when he was younger, and always visited the lost entities of Cubone, Ponyta, and Bulbasaur. But one day, a roudy mother of Cubone, (whatever the evolution of Cubone is), gre tired of living within the mortal realm and wished to fly free into the heavens. So she sent a barrage of possesing spirits to take control of the priestess's down stairs to tell all that she wanted to break the walls of this building down and leave. The three spirits and the boy grew scared, and clung to Bulbasaur the most, seeing as he had always spent alot of time within him, and had grown attached. But it quieted by about an hour or so when a boy almost five older than him stepped up the plateou with a scope in hand and saw Cubones mother, soon battling and obliterating it with its so strong Blastoise. Reckard just watched on as he saw the rest of the cemetary begant to glow,a nd the spirits departng to there eternal rest.
Reckard grew sad, and didn't want his friends to go, but Ponyta and Cubone were already carried off by there parents, teary eyed as well being pulled into the such enticing light. He held onto Bulbasaur tighter, seeing as he was the only one left he could hold on, and noticed he too was soon rising up. Shocked and horrified, Reckard noticed some of the sacred sutras the prietess's had left behind, and also heard of Mr.Fuji's words; "Our sacred sutra is a very big secret Reckard. I's able to seal the very being of a pokemon inisde this slab of paper. It's almosty like an ancient pokeball for capturing the departed, an anceint power Lavender town has greatly mastered over the years." "BUt don't some people see that like torturing them? Ripping there lifes from reaching Eternal rest?" Reckard asked him. "Oh ho no. You see Reckard, our sutra only work on the spirits of pokemon we greatly trust, and know they'll do good with there lives." Rckard soon fazed back to reality and quickly grabbed a sacred sutra and through it up at Bulbasaur just as he was just going to be faded away, and his soul was enterd into the tattered peice of paper.
Slowly, the portal closed and the older boy didn't seem to see him despratley hug the sutra lovingly and went up ahead to face the rockets. Crying slightly, he stered down at his othr departed friends tombstones. All the years he spent with him he didn't need a Slyph Scope, he could see the inner chasims of there heart, and that was enough for him. Reckard quiety walked down the broken staircase and back down to his home. He noticed that the older boy had just gotten a pokeflute from Mr.Fuji, and just scowled at them both. For the nect few days, he just weeped within his humble abode at the age of 10, and it seemed there was nothing his parents could do. BUt one day, REckard decided to take a walk with his departed Bulbasaur sutra, and had run into the world-wide pokemon proffeser Samuel Oak, and was carrying a lifeless bulbasaur witihn his hands, said, "Oh..I'm very sorry. You see, this bulbasaur that was in my lab was just born and some rocket had poisoned it's waterbowl so I would take it here for a proper burial. I knew about the plan, but what could I do about it. I had to take to lavender town for its true departure. Those awful rockets must be ramsacking my lab right now.." Reckard sadly starred into the bulbasaur's unmoving body, and saw that his soul had long since gone away.
"I-I'll take Proffesor.." REckard offered, placing his hands out for the pokemon. "You should notify Offier Jenny and repay those thugs for what they did.." Prof.Oak saw his sadness, and replied with a hardy thank you,a nd raced of towards Pewter again. Reckard began to walk back to Pokemon tower, but almost in the middle of town he dropped in despair. Seeing this bulbasaur reminded him of his, the fun they had, the laughs they shared, and the fact that this bulbasaur couldn't experience any of it with anyone o this world. He carefully pulled out his sutra, and placed in on the bud of the pokemon in remembrance of the two, when a bright light lit up the area stronger than Flash. He saw the bulbasaur glow in a vubrant purple aura, and had seen the sutra shrivel up and wither away. REckard was shocked, but then the japanese language for Life, Death, Creation, Twilight, Time and Dark River signed around the bulbasaur's bud.
It twitched slightly, and opendend it's eyes to see Reckard shocked, yet magnificently happy bulbasaur was alive. Bulbasaur replied to his expression with a fiercly hppy, "Bulba-Saur!" Reckard instanty thrust him into a deep hug, and the two became bst friend sever since. Now over the five years they've been together, they really haven't been training in battle, but more like living together and having a wonderful time by swimming, running, and overall just increasing there bond. So thround by thegh the esperiences he's been through with Reckard, he's grown physically and mentally fit. But by the tender age of fifteen, Reckard had been itching to go out into the real world, and embrace the threshold of pokemon. He didn't have too much confidence in doing so though, and had put it ong on hold. It all started when he was flipping through the pages of a new pokemon history book he had orderd from Celadon and noticed the image of Red, the energamnetic trainer who went on to battle the fromer champion blue. He suddenly remembered that was the same trainer he had seen so long ago, and suddenly felt the ever so enticing thirst to see the globe just as he had. He still felt uneasy about his journey though, and he asked himself many questions about wether he sould collect gym badges, explore, and thought he'd just wing it as he went on. But that feeling of uncertainess kept looming, and by the day he was going to leave, he stopped his plans and lay down on his bed watching T.V, trying to asure himself living a quiet life of home wouldn't be that bad. That's when he heard an interviewed trainer who was part of the massive surplus of pokemon owners who had been appearing all ove rthe globe, and heard the words of 'America', 'New York' and 'Diamond and Pearl' as they stung his mind. He didn't know what this could possibly be, but felt an overwhelming amount opf confidence fill his soul and was completely ready to go on this journey of his, and defenitley before aythin else figure out whhy these words felt so framiliar to him. Reckard really was a tweleve year old boy who just so happend to know a guy who worked with pokemon and gave him a Beta copy of the game. Because the game wasn't completely finished yet, when he enterd the game, It sent him back in time in the pokemon world and de-aged him, leaving him down at Lavender. Mr.Fuji had found him in the middle of town at the tnder age of a freshly newborn. He took him in with his other adoption parents Legna and Tsering as there own child. Because of the de-aging process, and Beta version of the game, he has no memory of what he once was in his old life.
