Zane
”I'm not Anti-Social, I just spent three years on an active Volcano that could overflow at any moment completely alone with only my Pokemon there with me.”
Full Name
Zane Utakata
Nicknames- Mr. Utakata (A joke to most who know Zane hates being addressed in such a formal way.), Volcano Prince, Stark Mt.'s Elite, The Ember Arcanine (A joke of the way he dresses, a mixture of furs and red cloth)
Age- 19
Gender- Male
Region; Hometown- Sinnoh Region; Veilstone City, Currently Resides at Stark Mt.
Basic Appearance- Zane at first look is a serious and determined individual with hair that's so flaming moltres would be jealous and a pair of glowing hazel eyes that seem to stare right through your resolve. He is seems to be a bit underweight for his age and likes to keep this slim appearance for reasons unknown. Most say that hes just doing that new 'thing' that all the famous people are doing now a'days to stay slim. The true reason why he says he stays slim is because he just likes too. If he wanted to look like a Machamp he would work out a hell of a lot more than he currently was, but hes not a Machamp, hes a human. "There is no need to look like anything else than yourself, or what you envision yourself as." He once said to someone that asked him about his size. This is when the name "The Ember Arcanine" Came into play. His constant wearing of furs made people think Zane wanted to be an Arcanine, this was not the case but to the public it seemed that way.
His skin is a beautiful beige that almost mimics that of an Arcanine's coat.
Distinct Markings- None
Style
Zane always has a plethora of red on him, whether it be a hoodie, a necklace or even his shoes he always has a dab of red on them. If he wears a hat it's always slightly tilted to the side. His wardrobe is filled with a mixture of different fur, some real some fake along with a few suits for when he actually has to wear some type of formal attire.
His normal attire though consists of Black or dark navy blue jeans with a white or black T-Shirt and some type of light hoodie over the two.

Zane Is great at archery, he took it up while at the resort as a sport, he rarely practices and really doesn't know why he took it up in the first place. It does however come in handy when training his Pokemon for agility and accuracy, he shoots the arrows in the sky or in a certain direction (The arrows have rounded rubber arrow tips of course) and try to see if their Pokemon can 1. Stop the arrow in it's tracks 2. Catch it or 3. Destroy it with a long ranged attack before another Pokemon does.

Personality
Zane, at the least can tend to be a hot-head that isn't afraid to speak his mind whenever and wherever he pleases, however despite this he is extremely free spirited and prefers to follow his own path. He isn't one to rush directly into a problem, nor is he one to stand by and watch. However on the flip side he can come off as extremely arrogant to others who aren't familiar of his way of thinking or acting.
To his friends and family he can come off as a bit sarcastic with a hint of seriousness. He isn't one to make jokes however, he leaves that to people that are actually good at making jokes like Fabian. He is more laid-back around people who he knows won't really judge him, opposed to trainers and other fans that will judge him for every little actions he makes. Outside of the band of friends he has he is still social, just not as open as most people that tried to be 'friends' with him were just after his fame or his money, which he is lacking due to his donation. He is cautious about who borrows his Pokemon and people who go through is stuff without permission. He doesn't trust a ton of people but this doesn't mean he isn't social, it just means he doesn't allow a ton of people into his personal life.
History
Zane was born to a moderately rich family in Veilstone City. He had a younger sister that died when he was ten and she was six. They were both swimming out at sea behind the Galactic Veilstone Building, something they were always told not to do as the tides became high far too quickly. It was his idea and she went along with him fearing for his safety. After a half an hour of playing a storm quickly came in rising the tides to great amounts. The storm pulled the two apart, separating them by feet. He attempted to reach out for her but the waves kept slowly pulling her farther and farther. His muscles started to freeze up and he went under and blacked out.
Next time he woke up he was so to say...in a bubble, floating on the surface being pulled slowly towards what looked like Veilstone City he quickly fell back asleep as his whole body willed it.
He woke up again, this time in his home wrapped up in blankets. He attempted to remember what had happened the previous few days but couldn't recall anything. He popped up and threw the blankets on the ground and ran into the kitchen where his mother and father were sitting down eating breakfast. He asked where his sister was and they told him what had happened. They lied saying she was adopted and her biological parents wanted her back. He held his tears back and lived his life in sadness until his thirteenth birthday where he asked if he could try to become the Pokemon Champion. His parents thought about it and decided it was for the best. They packed up the essentials and even got him a starter Pokemon, Torterra.
He set off and defeated Gym by Gym as if it was nothing and proceeded to expand his Pokedex. After beating all eight gyms he decided to train his Pokemon at Mt. Stark for two years before eventually making his way to the Pokemon League where before entering he decided to go down and see the sea one last time before entering the gigantic building that may change his life forever. (seawutididere?)
He sat down at the water's edge and peered down at his reflection, his memories flashed back before himself and he remembered something, something dear to him...he remembered his sister and what really happened. As he stared he was slowly leaning forward over the water. He seemingly lost his balance and fell into the cold water activating his true hidden memories that were buried deep inside his mind. He began to panic, not having swam since the incident. He went under once again but this time was pulled up by a Pokemon. He stared at the Pokemon with wonder in his eyes. The duo stared in at each other for what seemed like minutes but was merely only seconds. He pulled out his Pokedex and tried to record the Pokemon but it merely turned back into water. He put the Pokedex back in his pocket and the Pokemon appeared again. He tried to sneak a picture but the Pokemon was smarter than that and pulled Zane back under before pulling him back up again. He had enough and crawled back onto the land and grinned at the ocean. He took out a Pokeball that had Soul shadow ball the water causing an explosion. A small Pokemon, no bigger than Zane's foot flew onto the sand. Zane rushed over and at first sight thought it was a tentacruel. He was proved wrong when the mysterious Pokemon called in a large wave that was about three feet high. Zane jumped over the Pokemon wanting to catch it to hold it down. The wave hit his back hard as if a geogude was inside the wave. He cursed out in pain and looked under him and to his surprise the Pokemon was no longer
there. Frustrated he also called out Arcane and ordered Soul and Arcane to Shadow Ball and Fire Blast the ocean. Explosion after explosion the Pokemon seem to have vanished, that was until a Gyradous could be seen underwater. Zane freaked out and stepped backwards, his back of the steep cliff that he had just climbed down no longer than twenty minutes ago. As the shadow appeared closer a small shadow appeared over the water.
Zane had not noticed it but the Pokemon he had originally planned on catching was in the air, it wasn't until Soul nudged Zane that he did something. Zane quickly jumped in the air and into the water, catching the Pokemon while it was in the air. He opened his eyes in the water and saw Gyradous right below him. He tried to scream but instead came a large amount of water in his lungs. He quickly swam up towards the waters edge and jumped out of the water, shivering as the cold water dripped off of him. He climbed up the mountain himself and noticed the Pokemon in his hands had fainted. When he reached the top he returned it to the Pokemon Center in the Pokemon League. He healed it and returned it to the ocean, not before knowing it's name however...Manaphy.
He told Manaphy that they should battle sometime, perhaps after he completes the Pokemon League, win or lose.
Zane seemed to figure Manaphy understood so after releasing it he went back up to challenge the Elite 4. He confirmed he had beat the eight gyms and slowly beat each Elite 4 member after another each battle being another struggle and different stratedgy. He then finally made his way up to the Champion, Fabian who
Zane, completely forgetting about Manaphy took a private speed boat with about 5 other people around the Sinnoh Region. Zane however got off at Veilstone. He laid in his bed at home and got a call on his X-Transciever the next morning. It was an automated message from the Pokemon League explaining that an Elite 4 Member was retiring. Sadly he had to be there in a day and the ferry he took was long gone. He managed to steal a Dragonite from the Pokemon Center and fly over to the Pokemon League without getting caught.
When Zane arrived he was in for a surprise, there were at-least three hundred trainers lined up, so he wasn't the only one? Oh how depressing. The Elite Four held a tournament and the winner took the new spot.
Until the line got shorter to register he decided to go back to the sea, that's when he remembered Manaphy. He felt sorry for the Pokemon and sat at the waters edge again, this time being careful not to fall off. He was zoning out when he fell in, or more or less got pushed in by some older kids. He swam to the waters edge and was about to get out until he saw a shadow swim around him. He felt around his sides until he hit a bubbly creature, it felt somewhat like Manaphy. He smiled and jumped out the water before calling out Soul to battle. Manaphy and Soul battled it out for a good five minutes before Soul managed to get a good shadow ball straight to Manaphy's body sending it out of the water and into the air. Zane threw the Pokeball with all his might onto the ocean, it skipped towards Manaphy and hit it right in the head, capturing it in the ball. The ball shifted and changed around but it finally clicked confirming the capture.
When he finally finished with Manaphy he managed to enter for the tournament as the line grew extremely short.
He mopped the floor with most of the trainers but the finals were the hardest. Once again he was left with the last Pokemon that he had yet to use. He cursed under his breath and pulled the Pokeball from his belt and thew it out. Out popped a sleeping blue Pokemon with wide eyes. He had not known what moves it knew but just yelled out random water type moves. It proceeded to use a random combination of moves and take out all three of the other person's Pokemon.
He happily claimed his new spot as the last Pokemon League fighter, not including Fabian. He battled many trainers but decided it was eventually time to give up his title as well. The other Elite Four members talked him out of it but said if he really needed to leave he could go on temporary leave. He took their advice and stopped by the Survival Area, a place where many people met up sometimes including the Gym Leaders. He talked to some of the Gym Leaders he had previously battled telling them of his rank and all. He had a great time but had to continue on. Next he went to the Resort Area to talk to the old Elite Four Member. Zane had learned from the man and was told of a few strategies to defeat Fabian. He also was given his own house that was already furnished with the necessities. He bought most of the other things for it with his own money and headed to the second to last area on his journey, his home town.
He returned with many hugs and kisses along with at least twenty presents from the holidays he had missed. His parents had bought out part of the Galactic Veilstone Building and had turned it into a research facility along with a small day care for both Pokemon and humans. Zane donated a large portion of his money to their daycare and headed off for his last and final trip, Stark Mt.
Zane climbed up without the use of Pokemon and actually never used his Pokemon until he reached the summit. He then released all his Pokemon to allow them to get used to the ash and breathing. He however did not release Manaphy in fear of endangering it's health. He had found a cave to settle in for the night with all his Pokemon snuggled up on top of Torterra. He sat around unable to sleep as the nightmares of his sister came back. He couldn't take it anymore and silently slid off Torterra and went to explore the cave further to get his mind off the past. As Zane explored further he found what seemed to be a pedestal with a red glowing stone.
Zane didn't hesitate to pick it up and shove it in his Pocket not seeming to care what it was. He walked back to his Pokemon and fell asleep on Torterra. Zane woke up to panic, the cave was seemingly spewing lava from where farther back, all his Pokemon evacuated towards the entrance of the cave. Zane however decided to press on and face the problem directly. He found the Pedestal destroyed on the floor and a huge red Pokemon that looked like a Torterra that was made out of Lava. He reached out for it and managed to place his hand on it. He could feel heat generating from it, but not enough to burn him, However as he approached closer he could feel Heatran's body heat increasing slowly. He put his hand in his pocket and took out the stone. He slowly gave the Pokemon the stone and it seemingly calmed down and stopped spewing lava.
Zane sighed with relief but wanted to catch the Pokemon so while it was sleeping in the back of the cave he decided to have all his Pokemon attack it at once, surprising it and allowing for a maximum catch rate. He even called Manaphy out and allowed it to attack with a water move. The asleep Heatran got hit by the combination attack and flew at the wall completely knocked out. Zane threw a Great Ball and after what seemed to be hours the Pokemon stopped resisting and became captured.
He stayed here for a year until he was called back into the Elite Four, except this time he was the first fighter. This is where some of his fame came from, knocking people out on their first attempt to enter the Pokemon League. It wasn't the good type of fame sometimes though, some people feared him and others scorned him. He left once again to Stark Mt, this time for two years. He had to participate as part of the Elite Four at least seven months out of each year he stayed at Stark Mt. Eventually everyone got the letter from R and Zane was quickly recalled. They all had a battle, the battles lasted at least an hour for each person except for when Zane fought. Why? Because they knew each others moves. Zane had contact with his parents while at Stark Mt. and took in over one hundred Pokemon to train that they sent from their daycare, even allowing to keep some of them. It was then decided that out of the Elite 4 that Zane would go.
