"You sure you want to attack me?"
Abner is one to let his actions do the talking. Socializing is not in the top ten list of what he is skilled at. Do not be fooled, he is intelligent! He can think rationally (mostly when he is not angry and fighting)! As far as romance goes, he will not sweep a lady off her feet, but once the relationship starts, he is heavily loyal. People who befriend him get to see his more docile side. Otherwise, Primeape tends to be rough around the edges. Threats are #1 in his hate list, so do not be surprised when he responds to them with a full-force attack. When not training in an arena, Abner enjoys leaping from tree to tree, swimming, and other activities that keep him active. Other than that, he likes to read a book here and there.
He knows no fear, except when he meets psychics and ghosts, the only kinds of pokemon that can best him easily in a battle. He has a phobia for them due to how close to impossible they are for fighters to beat. However, anyone can easily override that phobia of his when they present him with a piece of fruit. (That's his favorite kind of food! He goes "bananas" for it! Get it?) It will take time for Abner to actually trust a psychic or ghost, though it is well worth the time and effort, in the long run, given how loyal he can be to his companions. Whenever you need someone to bonk some heads, Primeape's the first to answer the call, and he favors being up close and personal, rapidly attacking the opponent with fist and foot. He will at the very least buy you the time you need to charge up your burst attacks, should he still be fighting.
Aside from his khaki cargo pants and beige sleeveless shirt, Primeape favors a backpack which can carry as much as half his weight, strengthening his back and shoulders. No pain is apparent on his face when doing so. His pants have up to six pockets, capable of handling whatever he can find in the forest that can fit in them, if not his medical gear (which he is skilled at using, should the need for medical attention arise).
There is not much to tell about his life, other than his parents taught him as a mankey how to survive in the forest in addition to how to fight up close. Whatever else he was brought up to do, he will not say. (Except, maybe, to Goldeen). He is currently showing Goldeen around the forest he grew up in, describing what he used to do in each location. (Or offering whatever fruit he finds from trees to her. XD )
