Gonna throw my Dark Gym Leader trainer in here, should be fun:
Name: Lucile Mace
Gender: Female
Age: 32
Physical Description:
Mace is a little short, but has the sort of slender build and upright posture that tends to make people remember her as being taller than she actually was. She’s not overly curvy, but has well toned muscles from working out with her pokemon and studying martial arts, as a result sometimes from a distance she is mistaken for a young man. She has an oval face with a pointed chin, slightly upturned nose, and just visible cheekbones. Her medium length hair is sleek and almost black, though somewhat uneven, but most people never notice that because she’s usually wearing it in a ponytail or pigtails, which are in turn hidden under a wide brimmed hat. Her skin tone is pale, with a dash of freckles, and her eyes are a vivid grass green.
When participating in gym battles or contests, Mace wears a sort of costume, a simple outfit intended to project a dark fighter image, though it's also been known to come off sort of superhero/villain. It consists of a sleeveless black shorts-type leotard, black fingerless gloves, black trainers, red and pink striped knee socks, and a red mask. Her casual clothes however, consist of a red tank top, blue jeans, a black leather trench coat and a matching wide brimmed hat, plain white socks, and the same black trainers. A lot of people don’t even recognize her out of costume, which is not only due to the mask, but also because her primary companion pokemon isn’t even a dark type.
She also carries a dark brown leather satchel for storing her pokeballs and supplies.
Personality:
Mace may be a little broken. It's hard not to be in a world racked by natural and man-made disasters. In the gym she gives a big show of boisterous personality, but in reality she's a bit more nervous. She's can speculate wildly at times, she has a great imagination, but this also means she can also visit some very dark corners of the human mind.
Her battle strategy is rather good, and her hand-to-hand combat isn't bad either, since she's been training in the martial arts since her early teens. She knows she can be better though, she can always be better. So, daily she pushed herself to improve her skills, both in martial arts and in pokemon training. She pushes her pokemon too, because she wants them to see they can improve as well.
She's a good friend to have though, if you can get her. But she's not the most trusting, so it may be work to get her to warm up to you. She's always looking out for younger trainers and pokemon. She loves all pokemon, not just dark types, and thinks that in some ways they are superior to people, such as loving unconditionally.
She takes special care to make sure she gives all her pokemon attention regularly, taking their needs and like into account. She hopes one day to see the Marill she traded again, hoping to find it’s been having a great time with it’s new trainer.
Region From: Hoenn
Region Currently In: Alola
History:
Mace wasn’t always a dark type trainer, in fact for a while it didn’t look like she was even going to be able to go on a trainer journey at all. When she was a kid growing up in Slateport City, money was tight and even a plain poke ball would have been a luxury, much less a trip to the region’s pokelab. The recent disasters in neighboring regions had not been kind to the economy, which was hard on a family that would have been struggling in a good economy. Mace would takes small jobs trying to earn the money for a pokeball, but would always find out about something her family needed more and buy it instead. When not in school or working, Mace managed to get some free lessons from a black belt at a local dojo, starting her passion for the martial arts.
One afternoon when she was eleven, an year after most trainers start their journey, she didn’t have any after school jobs, so she decided to go for a walk along route 110 since that was something she could do for free. She was mostly envying the trainers there, and watching the wild pokemon scurry and play. On her way back, she looked over her shoulder and noticed a tiny oddish on the path behind her. Halfway back to town she saw an oddish again. She didn’t think much about it, until she got back to town and it was still following her. This oddish was young, probably a baby, and either wasn’t old enough to be afraid of humans, or was used to them because it belonged to someone. She tried to find if anyone had lost an oddish, but no one ever came forward.
From then on they were inseparable, and a couple months later they left on a journey. It was hard at first, but after a couple successful battles against weak trainers, Mace was finally able to afford a poke ball for her oddish and something other than berries to eat.
She never really thought about catching another pokemon until she saw an Absol. How was something so beautiful considered a dark omen? Though given the floods and droughts currently happening in the region, it was understandable that people wanted a scapegoat. But soon enough those people would learn of the horrible battle of the legendary pokemon that had been pitted against one another.
Mace spent several weeks trying to find another Absol and catch it, before she was finally successful. She even caught a Marill to help her out. Having an Absol on her small team was great, and Mace wanted to meet and train other dark type pokemon, leading to her capture of Sableye, and later obtaining Houndour by trading Marill.
After this Mace devoted her time to going up against all the gyms in Hoenn, while competing in contests on the side for the money. Much of this she sent home to help rebuild Slateport, which had been racked by tsunamis. She took what martial arts training she could get all along the way, from various instructors and masters, and now practices a fairly mixed style.
After taking on Hoenn's league, Mace felt she'd earned a trip to Alola, somewhere she'd always wanted to visit, and used some of her earnings to charter a trip there. Soon, she'll return home to Slateport.
Class: Master Trainer
Ability: N/A - However, Mace is an excellent trainer, who knows quite a lot about pokemon, especially dark and grass types. She knows several martial art techniques and is quite agile, though not always graceful. She believes almost anything can be used as a weapon, and creatively uses her current environment to turn the tables on foes. Her cooking isn't always pretty, but it tastes good, or at least her pokemon seem to think so.
Pokemon:
Bellossom (Blue), Absol (Stormy), Stableye (Glimmer), Houndoom (Scorch), & Pear (Minior)
Name/Nickname: Blue
Species: Bellossom
Gender: Male
Description and Personality:
Blue is a little smaller than most Bellossom. Mace figures she found him when he was a baby Oddish, or rather when he found her, but he never seemed have reached maximum size. He is playful and a bit impish, always running around and getting into everything. One might think he’d have calmed down a bit with age, but that really doesn’t seem to have happened. Blue has with Mace for years now, having latched onto her as a baby. The two have been all over the place, and battled a lot of trainers, and though she doesn’t battle as much with him anymore, he’s still constantly by her side.
Name/Nickname: Stormy
Species: Absol
Gender: Female
Description and Personality: Stormy is very much a standard Absol, albeit very well groomed and fairly powerful. She is self-centered and thinks of herself as the star of the show, an elegant and superior pokemon, beloved by all. This and her ability to sense danger ahead of time, has led to a bit of overconfidence. Mace caught Stormy with the help of Blue and a Marill she no longer has. Proud of themselves Mace and Blue showered Stormy with a bit more attention than they should have. This led to some obedience issues early on, as well as fueling Stormy’s current diva attitude.
Name/Nickname: Glimmer
Species: Stableye
Gender: Male
Description and Personality: Glimmer is a bit large for his species, but it’s not to the point where it’s particularly noticeable or anything. He is a passive, quiet, creature, waiting patiently for a good moment to strike. However, it’s clear from his actions that he’d much rather make friends than fight, offering to share even the smallest of berries. He is alert and intelligent. Mace caught Glimmer during her journey. It was hard not to shower this new pokemon with the mistake level of attention she’d given Absol, but even the level of attention she gave him made Absol jealous enough to disobey orders, until Mace had to stop battling with her for a while.
Name/Nickname: Scorch
Species: Houndoom
Gender: Male
Description and Personality: Scorch is a slender and well built Houndoom, who’s not afraid to get dirty or put in some hard work, leading to a coat that is often less than sleek. He is a brave, hard-working pokemon, eager to show Mace and the other on their team, his best. Regularly he pushes himself past the goals that Mace sets for her pokemon during training. Mace got Scorch as a Houndour when she traded her Marill to a trainer visiting from another region.
Name/Nickname: Pear
Species: Minior
Gender: Unknown (but Mace uses female pronouns for Pear)
Description and Personality: Pear is a green core Minior, and the most recent member of Mace's team. Mace found her while watching the meteor shower near the peak of Mount Hokulani. After a particularly bright meteor, Mace noticed a star shaped rock, and to her surprise it attacked. Pear is a spontaneous fun-loving pokemon, but she is also very powerful and will sometimes flaunts it. Though she sometimes need to be convinced to train.
