Well, I was in the Dark gym last time, too, so this is a direct copy-pasta, I guess, which helps because I've been fairly busy lately.
Name: Alexei Pashinov
Age: 15
Gym: Dark
Title: Ace Trainer (Male)
Appearance: Alexei has long, straight black hair that he doesn't take much care of, and as such, it can be a little shaggy at times. He also has green eyes that show a very tired look always. He is Caucasian, but his skin is a little whiter than normal, Alexei is fairly slim and does not have very much muscle to him. Alexei normally wears a black T-Shirt and Blue Jeans, along with grey running shoes, but on colder days he'll add a black jacket to his attire. He is about 5 foot 7.
Personality: Alexei is a pessimist, he almost always seems to find a negative in a situation, but he never says it, worrying he might depress the people around him. He is extremely shy, and almost always seems to be secluded, as such, he doesn't head outside much, and rarely talks to anyone outside of the gym and his family. Pokemon battling is when he really comes alive, battling is his passion.
Alexei loves Dark Types because he was born blind, and has spent his entire life in darkness. He feels that Dark types feel scrutiny as they seem to bring sadness along with them, while his condition also made him go through scrutiny, and bring sadness, he feels as if he can relate to them, and that he could make it through with them together. His blindness also contributes to why he is a pessimist. He cares immensely about his Pokemon.
History: Alexei was born in Sunyshore, however, he was born blind, and has to live his life in darkness, not knowing what light is. His Mom home-schooled him, and when he was six, he was given his first Pokemon as a guide, an Eevee named Sheena. They started battling other trainers together when he was eight, when he was 13, he left Sunyshore to pursue a dream of becoming League Champion, through hard work and determination, he managed to obtain 2 badges, but he grew homesick, and returned home to Sunyshore, not wanting to let go his passion for Pokemon Battling, he decided he wanted to become part of the Sunyshore Gym.
Tier: Tier 8
Pokemon: Umbreon
Nickname: Sheena
Gender: Female
Origin: When Alexei was 6, his mother, a Pokemon breeder, became concerned that his sight would keep him confined to the house for his life, so she gave him an Eevee to help guide him around, as Alexei grew older, the bond between Sheena and him grew stronger, and eventually she evolved into an Umbreon. Alexei and Sheena have fought against other trainers together since Alexei started battling.
Personality: Sheena is very intelligent, and acts as Alexei's eyes, she is only aggressive when in a fight, otherwise she avoids confrontation. While Alexei is very shy, Sheena is eager to go out and meet new people. The two have formed almost a perfect bond between trainer and Pokemon, and both take care of each other.

Interview:
1. What experience do you having in battling?
Umm, I think I'm fairly experienced with battling, Sheena and I together have managed to get 2 badges, I think I could of gotten more, but I missed home, I returned back here to Sunyshore, to my family.
2. What does a Dark-type Trainer have to be careful of?
I would say they would have to be careful of light environments, but the thing is, umm, I don't know what light is. So if we're considering type disadvantages, I would say that I should be very careful of Fighting Types.
3. Tell me about your Umbreon.
Well, Sheena is family, I've had her since I was a kid. She's very strong and we work together perfectly. She's intelligent, she's my eyes, I wouldn't be the same without her.
4. What are your tactics?
Starting out depends on the gender of my opponent's Pokemon, if it's Male, I start out with Attract, if it's a Female, I'll use Confuse Ray. After that I use Toxic. Afterwards I'll use either Shadow Ball or Psychic to take their HP down. Psychic is only used on Pokemon that are weak to it, and to counter Fighting types.
5. You seem to prefer a defensive type of fighting style, why?
People seem to say, "The best offense is a good defense." and I would have to agree with that, it just seems to me, umm, that well, the more reckless you are the more openings you leave, and if your opponent is good, they'll make you pay.
