(This is a 1x1 between myself and KeiraHigurashi.)

Hope this is okay.


Name:
Sachi Echizen

Age:
15

Personality:
She does get down on herself a lot, and is pretty pessimistic. But she's only energetic, not exactly what you'd say was cheerful. She needs a huge self-esteem boost. She likes to pry into people's business and won't let you alone until you've told her what she wants to know. She does try to mind her manners, but she honestly couldn't care less about them. She doesn't blush easily, but if you do make her blush, it's going to be awkward. When you do make her angry, manners are pushed aside, and she may get a bit violent. When she's happy, she also forgets her manners and her personal space bubble deteroriates and she becomes very affectionate. She feels extremely conscious of her appearance and will excuse herself many times just to check it. She hides her true feelings as a defense mechanism. She doesn't want people to be unhappy with her. When it comes to competitions, she's very serious, and has a bit of a problem with saying no to anything or anyone. But because of that, she also has the tendency to stack things up on herself so that she's overwhelmed with all of the responsibilities she's taken on. She can be a bit naive and more innocent than you'd think, but very stubborn and loyal. She comes off as a formal and a little cold, but she just doesn't know how to express anything besides anger.

Team -

Name: Tyler Rogers


Tyler would be desribed as a punk. He's rude, brash, and does seem to care about hurting others feelings. He takes his mission seriously, and has a deep hatred for those who dare perverse the nature of pokemon and try to corrupt them. Tyler is usually a very loud person, and is easily annoyed. Though it is a rarity to see, his love for pokemon can change this usual hostile person into a caring and loving being. He can be seen smiling when he interacts or talks to pokemon, his usual piercing eyes and sharp expression change to s tender smile and soft look. Tyler's father was a pokemon researcher but has been missing for several years, most believing him to have had some accident and died. His mother is an assistant at the Celadon gym.

Eevee(Male)

Cynaquil(Male)

Scyther(Female)

Sachi stretched as she rose out of bed. Glancing at herself in the mirror, she instantly frowned and tried to smooth her hair back. She definitely could not go out in public as she was, and got out of bed. Only to be tackled by Shippo, her Tepig. She promptly set him back down, patting his head and scolding him in a mother-like way that he shouldn't surprise her like that. Then she told him to stay there while she showered and changed.

When she came back into the room, she opened her arms to Shippo who immediately jumped into them. She carried him down to the kitchen where she quickly stuffed a piece of toast down and hefted her backpack over her shoulder, all while holding Shippo. Then she headed out, but not before checking herself in the mirror and applying a layer of make-up. She didn't look very pretty when she had none, so it shouldn't hurt to put some on....

*Sorry. Ear infection laid me out for the last couple days.*

Tyler walked through a large, metallic sliding door, that lead into the main lab. He was looking for Dr. Gerald so he could get his Snag Machine fixed. He has caught the power cable on something, and tore it from the fastener. Eevee followed behind, stopping to say hi to everyone they passed, his bubbly attitude showing through, his tail whipping back and forth energetically.

Tyler turned, frustration plastered across his face. "Do any of you freaking lab geeks know where Dr. Gerald is?!" Eevee jumped at the holler and ran over to Tyler's feet. the lab coats all jumped and scrambled for an answer. One stood, his answer coming in a stuttered slur. "I believe he went out to the courtyard. Tyler walked out of the lab, calling behind him, "You better be right."

Walking out into the courtyard, Tyler looked around at all the pokemon that were gathered and smiled. This is where all trainer involved in the struggle against Shadow Pokemon keep their's on standby. Tyler spotted Dr. Gerald petting a Ponyta and his usual glare returned. Tyler walked up, and tap his shoulder, crossing his arms. "You gonna quit goofing off anytime soon and do some work?"

Sachi still seemed to get lost, even if she had lived here for quite a while. The move from Unova was a bit of a big deal to her though, and it showed. She sighed as she finally neared the lab, quickly turning to Shippo, who seemed to roll his eyes and nod to reassure her she looked fine. She raised a brow at him, as if to say "No attitude with me, Mister" then entered in search of Dr. Gerald. She had been stupid enough to sit on her Snag Machine. One second she was taking the thing off, the next thing she knew, she heard a very loud crack. She just hoped no one would be too mad at her. She stopped a lab coat to ask where he was, and he pointed the way to the courtyard. She thanked him and headed in that direction.

But right when she found Dr. Gerald, she immediately caught sight of Tyler. Her eyes narrowed. "Just the guy to make me feel better," she remarked under her breath. Well, she wouldn't just let him stand in the way of having a nice day. She stomped over to Dr. Gerald with clenched fists, and a forced smile. "Hello, Dr. Gerald! Fine day isn't it?" She tried very hard not to turn and glare at the guy who stood a few feet away from her. He was at the perfect distance for her to reach over and grab his neck--Ahem... politely shake his hand.... Oh, who was she kidding?

Tyler stood, glaring at the weathered old man, with his stupid mustache. He always wanted to pull on it to check if it was real. "Seriously, you gonna fix my machine or what you old cod?" Dr. Gerald looked at the young man and smiled, "Yeah yeah yeah, just have some patience." Turning back to the Ponyta the doctor continued to pet it. Tyler looked at the back of the doctor's head, planning a way to burn the last tuff of hair haloing the doctor's otherwise bald head. Then a familiar voice came from behind, and his bad mood took a plummet off a proverbial cliff.

"It would be a perfect day if the doctor would get off his lazy butt and do some work Now if by some miracle you happen to disappear, well...that would just be the icing on the cake. Tyler walked past Sachi and glared at her. "Your useless." Ignoring any rebuttal the two may have had, he continued into the lab.

Dumping his Machine on the doctor's desk, Tyler moved into the training gym, and looked for someone to battle. Alex, one of the few labcoats Tyler didn't completely hate was giving his Tropias some water at one of the bleachers. Guess you gotta be content with what you got.

Alex agreed to two battles, and then went by with no problem. Scyther made quick work of Tropias, having type advantages and using it speed to out pace his opponent. The second was more tense but Cynaquil pulled out a solid win against Alex's Machop. Returning his pokemon Tyler smiled, "Maybe next time."

Useless?! Why that little--! He definitely wants to die today! Sachi glared after him, tempted to go ahead and wring his neck, but there were too many witnesses.... Besides, that might mess up her nails. Or worse. Her hair. She shivered at the thought. Speaking of which, she should probably check it. She reached into her pockets, and coming up with nothing, pouted. Stupid. She probably left it at home. So far, this was turning out to be a very stupid day.

Sachi huffed, then turned to her Tepig. "C'mon, Shippo. Might as well head into the gym now." He bounced after her as she headed for the gym. But there he was again. She hid behind a labcoat for a second, then realized how stupid she looked and quickly pushed him back to whatever he was doing and inched away from him. She had no reason to hide from that jerk... She casually walked around, all the while eyeing the two battles that were going on.

Unfortunately, she had to admit he was actually pretty good... Ugh, but not aloud. Not ever. He would never let her live it down. She would never live it down! When she looked up to watch their battle again, she noticed it was over, and--wait a second... Did Tyler just smile?

Dear Reshiram above, he could actually do that?! Were there Tepigs flying outside?! Sachi couldn't help but feel her jaw drop. It was true. Maybe once or twice she caught him smiling around Pokemon, but she never actually thought he, Mr. Frowny-Sourpuss actually smiled. That's how shocked she was. But what shocked her even more was that he was actually kind of....cute when he smiled--No, no, erase that! I never thought that! Sachi wanted to kill herself right about now....

But in the midst of her panicked thoughts, she bumped into a labcoat. Instantly, she challenged him to a battle, to which he accepted. She could definitely get her head out of the gutter with a good, blood-pumping battle. It was probably what she needed to relieve her stress, too. Her Unfezant, Travie, managed to finish off the water-type with ease, and she called him back, saying a polite, "Good match" and searched through her backpack for a little something for Travie. She turned to her Unfezant with a smile as she handed the treat to him and give him a fond pat on the head. "There you go."

His pokemon secured, Tyler looked up, and spotted Sachi looking his direction. 'What's here issue.' He watched as she bumped into a lab coat and challenged him. Tyler began to walk towards the exit, not willing to bother wasting his time watching Sachi battle. She may have been given the Machine, but Tyler had no respect for her. She was annoying, and Tyler didn't believe she had what it took to free the shadow pokemon and go up against such a powerful and dangerous organization.

Tyler moved back through the lab, and headed to the break room. He needed something to drink, and the vending machine sounded real inviting at the moment. He walked in and two lab coats that had been talking suddenly paused and glanced at him. He saw their looks and sneered. Sliding a card into the vender he chose his drink of choice, and his card ejected back out. Tyler turned, pooping off the lid and took a swig. Looking back at the lab coats, Tyler glared and snapped at them, "Why don't you take a freaking picture?" Back in the main hall, Tyler noticed lights on in the Doctor's lab, 'Bet he hasn't touched the Machine.' Walking in without knocking Tyler stared down the Doctor, "Have you even touched the Machine?"

Dr. Gerald looked up and dismissed his accusations. "Not now boy, he got a recent update on a shadow pokemon shipment. Its being delivered to Evergrande City, and we need to intercept it before we lose the chance. Tyler turned serious, "How long do I have?" We will drop you and Sachi off at 8:00 pm tonight, according to our intel the..." Dr. Gerald was cut off.

"Whoa, hold up Grandpa. Did you just say 'you and Sachi'?! What are you thinking? You cannot send me with her, she will just mess everything up?!" Tyler was furious, and scowl crossed his face, his bright blue eyes turning into ice. "Sorry, Tyler, that's just how it is. This is a big job and I need both our Snaggers on this job. It's just too important to allow for any issues."

"She is gonna compromise our mission." Tyler knew he wasn't gonna win so he turned and
stormed out of the room shouting over his shoulder, "I'll be ready, and you better fix my Machine." Tyler shoved a lab coat as he walked out into the courtyard steaming. He released Eevee and took a seat, "This is bullshit buddy." Tyler itched Eevee's ear, and stared out into the distance.
