Personality: At first appearance, Ciaran looks like your average guy, however; he is not. Behind his façade is a young man who has the need for power and will do anything to get it. He is a driven individual and usually does not need motivation of any kind for him to reach a goal he has set his mind to. He is a bit selfish and vain, in that he only thinks about what could prove useful to him or beneficial. He doesn’t like to make connections as his mind is usually occupied with becoming stronger. He is calculative, and strategic, always trying to predict his opponents moves on the spot and can usually come up with a good defense/offense within a few seconds.

History: Ciaran was born to a strict father and a Gym Leader mother. His mother specialized in Water Pokémon while his father wasn’t a trainer, at all. He taught Ciaran the important things in life, and wanted him to grow up a strong man who did not need to rely on any one or Pokémon to protect himself. Instead, Ciaran was pushed to his limits and to this day, appreciates what his father was trying to teach him. Ciaran, at a young age, set off to become a Pokémon master, and to prove to his father that he was not a failure. To start him on his journey, his father gave him a Pokémon, Gible, who had been his father’s first Pokémon ever captured. Ciaran expressed his gratitude and left his family at the age of eight years old. Ten years down the road, Ciaran is currently traveling with his Pokémon team and is on his way to become a Pokémon master and a new dream: The Champion.

Pokemon Team:
Garchomp

Pokémon Nickname: Dyret
Pokémon Nature: Quiet
Pokémon Ability: Sand Veil
Held Item: Dragon Fang
Pokémon History: Dyret was the first Pokémon Ciaran obtained. Dyret was the first Pokémon Ciaran’s father ever caught as Ciaran’s father was not a Pokémon trainer. He wanted his son to have a strong Pokémon, and knowing the evolved form of Gible, gave Gible to his son to raise as his first. Dyret, as a Gible, was a quiet Pokémon, never really leaving Ciaran’s side. Ciaran, at first took this as a sign of weakeness and usually left Gible to his own devices. It wasn’t until Ciaran’s first major battle that Ciaran understood why Gible was a quiet Pokémon. It was because Dyret was watching his opponents moves and doing exactly what Ciaran did, calculating a strategic offensive/defensive attack. Since then, Ciaran and Dyret became an unstoppable team. Dyret first evolved during a battle against Dyrisk, the first Pokémon they captured together. Gyarados had proven to be formidable, and Ciaran wanted the Gyarados. It was another year before Dyret evolved again into a Garchomp. This evolution occurred during a Gym Battle against Claire of the Johto region. Her dragon Pokémon were stronger than Ciaran had anticipated and at the end of the battle, Ciaran won. Dyret is currently Ciaran’s most powerful Pokémon.
Move set:
- Dragon Rush
- Earthquake
- Flamethrower
- Dragon Pulse

Gyarados
Image

Pokémon Nickname: Dyrisk
Pokémon Nature: Serious
Pokémon Ability: Intimidate
Held Item: Deepseatooth
Pokémon History: Dyrisk was the first Pokémon Dyret and Ciaran captured. Although Dyret was still a Gible, Dyrisk was already a Gyarados and a lot stronger than the Dragon Pokémon. Dyrisk was an unusual Gyarados, as she swam with a herd of Magikarp, seeming to be their protector from trainers alike. When she defeated a Dragonair, Ciaran decided to capture her. It was a long battle that ended when Dyret evolved into Gabite and defeated Dyrisk with an Earthquake attack. Dyrisk was bitter after her capture and would usually go into a rampage when Ciaran tried to use her in battles. It wasn’t until Ciaran managed to sway the large beast into becoming his. Since, Dyrisk has proved her strength on more than one occasion and is currently Ciaran’s second most powerful Pokémon.
Move set:
- Ice Beam
- Hydro Pump
- Dragon Pulse
- Water Pulse

Haxorus
Image

Pokémon Nickname: Skygge
Pokémon Nature: Brave
Pokémon Ability: Rivalry
Held Item: Leftovers
Pokémon History: Haxorus was the second Pokémon Dyret and Ciaran captured. At the time, Skygge was originally an Axew, but he had shown tremendous courage and bravery when fighting against his fellow Axew and Fraxure. After being kicked around a few times, Axew managed to defeat one of the Fraxure’s that had been attacking him. When the other Fraxure had decided to gang up on Skygge, Ciaran stepped in with Dyret, who was an evolved Garchomp. Although he wasn’t particularly strong, Ciaran still wanted the Axew as he believed he would be a valuable asset to his team. He was proven right when Axew won his first Gym battle by himself. Axew evolved during this particular Gym battle into Fraxure. Skygge eventually evolved again into his final form, Haxorus during a battle against Dyret. He had challenged Dyret to a battle to see who was the stronger Pokémon. Although he lost, he still held his head high. He is Ciaran’s third most powerful Pokémon.
Move set:
- Dragon claw
- Dragon Pulse
- Poison Jab
- Aerial Ace

Serperior
Image

Pokémon Nickname: Synsk
Pokémon Nature: Quiet
Pokémon Ability: Overgrow
Held Item: Miracle Seed
Pokémon History: Synsk was a tricky Pokémon to capture. She had been a Snivy at the time, and had managed to avoid every single attack Ciaran had made. It made him more determined to capture the sly Snivy. Once he had, Synsk became extremely attached to Ciaran, never leaving his side and often stayed out of her pokéball. Her power was undeniable when she managed to defeat a Pansear, and a Simisear, both who belonged to a Team Rocket member. Even though the type disadvantage would have had either of the monkey Pokémon the advantage, Snivy still managed to win. During a practice battle, Snivy was pitched against Dyrisk to see how strong she was. She evolved during the middle of the match and managed to defeat Dyrisk, once. Since then she hasn’t been able to defeat Dyrisk, even with a type advantage. Synsk eventually evolved into her final form during a battle against Ciaran’s mother. Being a Gym Leader, it was inevitable that they would face off. Having a type advantage, Synsk managed to defeat all of Ciaran’s mother’s Pokémon. As of now, her Slam attack is a force to be reckoned with.
Move set:
- Leaf Blade
- Slam
- Dragon Tail
- Solarbeam

Nidoking
Image

Pokémon Nickname: Isen
Pokémon Nature: Hardy
Pokémon Ability: Poison Point
Held Item: N/A
Pokémon History: Isen was obtained as a Nidorino. Originally, Ciaran had a Joltik whom Ciaran had captured. Not really much into bug Pokémon, he traded with a bug catcher for his Nidorino. Isen made a name for himself when he managed to overpower Dyret and defeat him. Nidorino managed to defeat Pokémon twice his size and twice as powerful, and it was a trait that Ciaran began to covet in Isen. Originally, Ciaran did not want Isen to evolve, and believed he could bring out Isen’s potential as a Nidorino. This however was changed when Isen wandered into a cave full of Moon Stones. Ciaran tried to keep Nidorino from touching one, but was in vain. Although he evolved, Isen has become twice as powerful and would have been the third most powerful Pokémon on Ciaran’s team had Synsk not defeated him a few times.
Move set:
- Poison Jab
- Shadow Ball
- Megahorn
- Ice Beam

Password: Dragon/Ground

Ciaran stared at the blank sky, watching as the clouds rolled aimlessly by. Dyret stood above him, claws crossed in a mocking manner as his attention was elsewhere. Some movement captured the dragon Pokémon’s attention and soon stood in an offensive stance. Ciaran glanced in the direction Dyret had been focused on and noticed a rather large Tyranitar walking down the beaten road. Ciaran had just arrived in Littleroot Town and had some time to kill. Besides, the Tyranitar would make an excellent addition to his team…or so he thought. Without a single word, Ciaran ordered Dyret to attack, watching and waiting for Tyranitar’s response.

Cessair had been enjoying her day as she had finally reached Littleroot Town when she felt a sudden shift in the air. “Sterk!” she shouted when a Garchomp attacked her Tyranitar, capturing the Pokémon off guard and herself. Sterk quickly recovered and bellowed a large roar, turning his full attention to the Garchomp that had attacked him. “Quick, use Ice Beam!” Cessair shouted as Sterk obeyed his trainer. This was not what Cessair had been expecting when she entered the small town.

“Dyret, return,” a voice called out as Cessair signaled Sterk to stand down. “My apologies, I did not know that Tyranitar had a trainer,” Ciaran spoke as he approached the Tyranitar’s trainer. The girl seemed around his age, maybe a year younger than himself and didn’t seem to possess a lot of strength judging by the small stature of the girl. Cessair glared at the boy that had spoke to her and placed a hand on her hip.

“That’s why you don’t go out and attack Pokémon without checking that information out,” she spat out as she recalled Sterk into his pokéball. “If you’ll excuse me, I have business in Littleroot so I must be on my way,” she replied sarcastically and made her way towards the town.

“You wouldn’t happen to be one of the ones having those strange dreams would you?” Ciaran couldn’t help but ask. If she was part of the group, then he could accompany her instead of asking for directions or other frivolous tasks. Cessair turned towards Ciaran and raised an eyebrow.

“Perhaps, who wants to know?” she replied. Ciaran straightened his posture and placed a dashing smile upon his face. Cessair merely kept a stoic face.

“Ciaran, Ciaran Dunaid,” he stated. “And you are?” he spoke, trying to keep his calm. Cessair hesitated for a moment before introducing herself.

“Cessair Folais. And to answer your question, yes, I am,” she replied and began her walk back into the town. “You’re welcome to follow,” she added a bit dryly. Ciaran did not reply, and instead chose to follow behind her silently, arms wrapped around his head as he strolled casually down the road. Soon, the two came across a group of trainers, all seemingly introducing themselves or standing awkwardly around. Cessair and Ciaran did the same. Cessair did not really want to introduce herself to a group of people she didn’t know, and Ciaran was just watching them, waiting to see if they would greet him or if he would have to greet them, much to his displeasure.

Leo was interrupted by a boy who started to yell out for a battle. He quickly grabbed the balls and prepared to hurl his Pokemon out. He was diapointed when he turned to the girl and said she was an idol. Leo rolled his eys and took a few steps back. He didn't quite want to be caught between an 'Idol' and a fan. He then nodded as he asked his question. "yup, now about that battle I'm still game for one." he said eager to fight right as he got here. He saw two more trainers who looked mad at each other. He didn't pay much mind than two fingers in a peace sign indicating 'Hello'. He then decided he would bug Tinker a bit as he walked and Runt followed him like an obideint puppy.

He went over to his levicycle and sat on the seat as Tinker worked hard to perfect the bike, but he could never do it. Leo threw out the rest of his Pokemon since the other boy had some out and the girl did too. Mama automatically went around into the forest looking for berries to eat, while the resst fluttered around their trainer. Leo looked at the boy a cocky look of a thief in his eyes. "So what is it ya gonna fight or what?" he said with the Mt. Battle charm.

"So I'm guessing you're getting the dreams too I'm guessing. Sorry bout' the dust I like to make myself known whenever possible. Oh where are my manners," he held out his hand. " name's Leo and you are?"

"My name is Izotz, Do any of you have had a strange dream?"


"Mielikki. But you all can call me Mel." She said, as Rist growled at them. "Hush, Rist." She said, tapping his head. The humanoid Pokemon huffed but remained silent. She floated over to the boy and looked down at him. "Izotz... I'mma call you Izo. But anyways, I'm glad you know me and think Jin here's powerful." She slid off his head and pat Jin's arm. "Just don't say it too often. It'll get to his head." She joked, grinning.

She called out Lasagna and Aires and smiled as he hopped around her. "Now, if you are gonna battle, I can play judge. I've done it enough and it's pretty fun." She grinned widely as Lasagna hopped over to two other people. He bounced around them, twittering and singing. He hopped onto the brunette male's head, still bouncing. Aires just watched the little bird.

From the pokemon in the distance his eye fell on the two new individuals who had appeared, the boy waved his hand to greet them then said loudly, "Do you also had that dream?" and without waiting for an answer he turned to the girl in the patch "You are the idol, Mielikki! You're very famous in this region!" Oscuro jumped and took the cap, indicating that he was bored, Izotz chased him to recover it and they ran in circles for a while until the boy stopped suddenly.

"Right," he said using a different tone of voice he had used so far, he turned toward whitish hair boy sitting on the Levycicle, the silly smile that had been on his face disappeared and instead formed a confident one "If you're bored then let's buy the battle that the friend there is selling" he told to the Umbreon as took a few steps towards the boy and added "I just want to get rid of my pokemon's boredom so let's battle with only three pokemon and considering that your Vileplume disappeared in the forest is more than appropriate, Mielikki or any of those two people can be the judge, or if they want can join the battle I wouldn't mind "the smile on his face widened as his mind worked on formulating strategies based on the pokemon that his eyes can see.

Sermin yawned quietly, before stuffing her arms into her pockets. "Hydra..." A dark dragon hissed in question, all three heads turning in curiosity. "I had that dream again Hyrda...you know, the one of the Darkrai and cresselius...?" The dragon just nodded slowly, his normally raged eyes, filled with concern. "Its alright, I dont need much sleep anyways~!" The girl pat the pokemon's back reassuringly, before hoping off towards the town. "Though, I still have a good feeling about today..." The hyrdegion smiles a smirkish smile before roaring in delight. Sermin grins cheekily, but slowly turns at a strange conversation that came by her. She stopped and looked foward, spotting a group of 5. 'huh...a dream...' She peers at Hyrda briefly, before walking towards the group. Leaning beside one to look at the others, she slowly stepped out. "Oh the famous idol Mielikki had the same dream huh...as well as you guys." Sermin drawled out, scanning the others. They all seemed to be formidable battling partners... but since she was a coordinator, of course she would look at Mielikki's direction.
Sermin wasn't as popular as her, but she hoped to be, she herself was only know in one region or so, but hey she was in it for the fun! Just like her mother.. 'but then again mamma was rather famous herself...' Sermin merely dropped the thought, before standing near her pokemon, which was hovering near her, eying all the strangers.

The battle ended in defeat but it was fun anyway, that was the most exciting of the pokemon battles, don't know whether you'll win or lose, "Yeah, almost makes me want to have a full match" Izotz said smiling and shook his hand, then turned to where his pokemon were and began to heal them with some Superpotion that he has in the backpack of the seven he has he enden using five in defeated pokemon "Well that should be enough for now, when we get to a pokemon center you're gonna be checked", he told to his pokemon, Oscuro stood up and attacked Hielo as game,
he just was defeated and is playing the boy shrugged, "Are you going to compete? I want to see!" Once the fight was over he returned to his usual self, approached the girls "I've never seen a contests, for some reason when-," he was about to explain that although he has seen some for some reason doesn't remember seeing a complete one and went to the two who were standing, "Are trainers or something?" he asked to the brown haired boy with the Garchomp and the green eyed girl with the Tyranitar.

Leo nodded. "Good maybe sometime later." he said then flipped his visor up. He turned to Lady who had finished reviving his Pokemon. He returned Sampson and Honeycomb. "rest easy ." he said before placing the balls inside his jacket. He heard something about contests and raised an eyebrow. "Contest is that where the Pokemon like dance around and stuff?" he had heard of them somewhat but never saw live nor on a television. He went over to his bike and Tinker saluted the wrench still in his hand. Leo nodded then got on the bike and checked it all to make sure everything worked right.

He had it all good then got off and moved it over to where the girls were sitting to get it out of the way. "Well I'd be more than happy to watch though. He said as Vileplume came back with an armful of berries. She went beside Leo and started to eat. Then Runt held his hand out and pointed to his mouth. Vileplume threw a berry up then Runt flew after it wanting to eat the small treat. He looked at the other two and smiled. "They look like trainers wonder how good they are?" he said quietly to himself.
