Name: Zacharias 'Zak' Phyre
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Legendaries: The Eon Duo (Latias/Latios)
Appearance: Zak, standing at around 6'1", is a lean boy, with a thin but muscular build. He has tanned skin, and curly hair, which is a chocolate brown colour. it flows down to his shoulders in a messy wave. He has piercing brown eyes, and a small, pointed nose. His big grin and slightly longer-than-usual canines gives him a friendly but unusual appearance, especially with his hair curling everywhere, including over an intricately designed Mareep-wool headband he wears, hiding it from view in most areas. His thin appearance is contrasted by the muscles he has, that, despite being small, means he can pack a brutal punch or kick. His shoulders are broad, which often means his clothes are baggy and at least one size too big, despite fitting his shoulders perfectly.
Zak wears a torn and slashed red summer-style top with white patterns across it (think Hawaiian Flowers), and a pair of black 3/4 length jeans, with frayed bottoms. He has a red and black checkered belt which he has attached his PokéBall's to, and various other pieces of equipment, such as a small dagger, ropes and his Pokénav. He wears sweatbands around his wrists, one black and one red, but both are starting to get a little tattered and ruined. His socks go up underneath his 3/4 length's, and are dark red, and he wears black and red Converse's, which are quite scuffed and dirty. His rucksack is torn and battered, with one of the straps restitched. There is a huge gash in one side, which Zak has bandaged up with duct tape. The only truly clean item of clothing he is wearing is his headband, which is in pristine condition, due to it being made by himself from the fur of a particular Mareep from the Hoenn Safari Zone.
Personality: Zak has two clear sides to his personality. On one hand, he is a very friendly and outgoing person, who is cheerful and quite headstrong, often getting himself into a state of injury, though his recklessness and carefree nature. He is often smiling and talking to everyone he knows, and is often seen running through the thick grass, then jumping and shouting in fright when a wild Pokémon jumps out at him. He is caring and giving, and will help anyone he knows who is need. He will often challenge people to battles, not attempting to win, just to enjoy himself and have a good time. he also ends up wrecking his stuff, and having to repair it.
However, there is a much more serious side to Zak. He is able to tell who is trustworthy or not, and is good with the paralinguistic side of psychology, picking up on small movements that can give away the truthfulness of what someone is saying. He often searches for odd paralinguistics when meeting new people, and is cautious. he then becomes protective over himself and his possessions, and angrily defends himself. He is still laid-back, but he becomes very wary of the 'newcomers'. It is also when he is more serious that he takes battle much more personally, and losing is not an option when he is focused.
History: Born in the jungle city of Fortree, Zak grew up running across bridges ten's of feet above the ground, and swinging from branch to branch. His house, despite being small, was perfect for him and his two parents, and Zak spent most of his time either with them, or outdoors. In fact, it was Fortree City, at the age of 10, Zak started his journey. Instead of going to Littleroot Town to meet Professor Birch, Professor Birch was on a trip to the many cities of Hoenn to let Trainer's start in different places in their journey. Zak was thrilled to meet Professor Birch at the Fortree Gym, where he was given his starter Pokémon, and even got to meet Leader Winona, who would be one of his many opponents on his journey. Zak's starter was an Electrike whom he promptly named Fang. He started his journey by beating Winona in a 1vs1 battle. Fang, now Lv9, took on Winona's Swablu, and won. Gaining his badge, and the ability to use the Surf HM (his choice), he chose to travel east, and go in a full circle.
His first trip was to the Safari Zone, where he captured many Pokémon, including a Mareep which he added into his team. The Mareep was named Roo, due to the knowledge of his final evolution. After defeating the Mauville Gym, he headed north, defeating the Lavaridge Gym, getting a pair of Go-Goggles, and capturing a Trapinch named Darter. He then progressed further, beating the Rustboro, Petalburg and Dewford Gyms, and heading west towards Sootopolis, in which he had to challenge three times to beat the Leader, Juan. Finally, he travelled north once more, to Mossdeep Gym. After a long, tough fight, lasting over an hour, Zak claimed his final badge, and returned home to tell his parents of his success. It was Fortree where Zak saw the Tournament and Elite Four fight being advertised. It was then he decided he would enter the tournament and challenge the Elite Four.
Arriving at Ever Grande City, with a team of Manectric, Ampharos, Kabutops, Flygon, Crobat and Blaziken, Zak signed himself up for the tournament. progressing through to the final, he faced a rival of his from Fortree City, and the battle ended in a smokescreen, where, left standing, was Fang the Manectric. he progressed through to face the Elite Four, thinking it would be an easy victory against Sidney, due to his dark preference. Boy, was he wrong. Sidney crushed him likehe was a drinks can, and left Zak feeling crushed himself. He hadn't won the tournament to lose so quickly. He went and trained away from everyone, training in a far corner of Hoenn, besting his training, and then returning home. It was as he was planning to enter the Hoenn Tournament this year that he recieved a letter at Fortree, and was called by his parents to return. He decided to take Blade the Kabutops and Darter the Flygon, alongside his trusted partner Fang.
Other: He's going to need a friend. He'll get lonely XD
Pokémon
Name: Fang
Species: Manectric
Moves: Fire Fang, Thunder Fang, Crunch, Howl, Wild Charge, Leer, Ice Fang
Appearance: Fang looks very similar to an ordinary Manectric, minus his slightly longer canines and a darker shade of yellow fur than most.
Personality and History: Fang is an energetic Manectric, with a big grin and a big bite too. He is loyal to Zak, and more than once has dug his fangs into someone who has hurt Zak. He and Zak met when Professor Birch let Zak choose his starter, and has always travelled with Zak since. He also is out of his PokéBall most of the time, walking and running alongside his trainer.
Name: Darter
Species: Flygon
Moves: Sandstorm, Dragon Claw, Dragon Tail, Bug Bite, Earthquake, Outrage, Thunderpunch
Appearance: Darter is a normal Flygon, minus a longer tail and larger wingspan. His 'goggles' are also larger.
Personality and History: Darter is a quiet and caring Flygon, who met Zak as a Trapinch. After a lot of intense training, Zak realised that Darter, now a Vibrava, was not enjoying the intense battling. He battled less, becoming more skilled in his attacks, and developed a caring nature, protecting the rest of the team before himself.
Name: Blade
Species: Kabutops
Moves: Aqua Jet, Slash, Night Slash, Hone Claws, Swords Dance, Stone Edge, Aerial Ace
Appearance: Blade appears to be a normal Kabutops, excluding a very dark brown shell, and yellow eyes.
Personality and History: Blade is a very quiet Kabutops, who rarely speaks or communicates with anyone other than Zak and his other Pokémon. He is very focused, and it seems that his ability to focus so well is linked to his quiet overall attitude. He also is an adamant fighter, determined to win or get his way, whatever the cost may be to himself of his foes. Zak found a Claw Fossil while patrolling the Hoenn Desert, and was asked by a researcher to swap fossils for his Dome Fossil. Zak, loving Kabutops, accepted, and took it to Devon instantly to be revived. Since revival, blade has been a strong and trustworthy Pokémon of Zak's, and has received a lot of praise from many trainers.
Legendary Pokémon
Species: Latias
Moves: Wish, Rest, Recover, Psychic, Mist Ball, Heal Pulse, Dragon Pulse
Personality: Much like she always was, Latias is a carefree and outgoing soul, and has a tendency to end up getting herself and her friends in trouble. However, with such strong healing powers, she naturally cures them and holds off any foe with ease. She is still very fast and agile.
Powers:
Healing Aura - the Trainer she is connected to gains the ability to heal from injury quicker and with less pain, and cancel out disease. This also helps others stay healthy who are around them.
Energy Boost - the Trainer has more energy and stamina than before, making them able to run for longer, and sleep for a lesser amount of time to be rested.
Invisibility - the user can turn invisible for a period of time. However, this drains the users energy quickly. It can only be used in small doses.
Species: Latios
Moves: Dragonbreath, Luster Purge, Recover, Psychic, Dragon Pulse, Heal Pulse
Personality: Latios is more carefree than he once was, knowing now from age that his younger sibling is able to take care of herself. however, he is still wary and cautious of new faces, and has to decide whether to ignore his worries and befriend them, or to reject them completely for small flaws in their personality.
Powers:
Hyperspeed - the Trainer is much faster and agile than an average human.
Hypersense - the Trainer's five senses are much better, meaning it is easier to detect everything around them. They are also aware of a 'sixth sense', which gives them a perception of knowing they are being approached or in danger.
OTHER: Both of the Eon Duo award Zak with the ability to fly. This drains a lot of energy but is very useful and makes travelling very easy.
