A young woman who loves adventure, parties, and making friends. While she's no stranger to combat, she prefers to wage war through her trusted Pokemon partners.
Battle theme: Determined Eyes (ZXA Tunes)
Jennifer is always looking for an excuse to travel to previously unseen lands, though the actual motive may vary: Finding a way "home", looking for treasure, and exterminating threats to the status quo people of her persuasion need to function effectively are all possibilities, though just as often it's on a whim.
She has chosen to stick with the tried and true approach of leveling one's Pokémon and using items instead of the revolutionary new practice of "bonding," deeming it unreliable (thus allowing challengers to have more of a chance than they should have) and dangerously close to the ideals of Neo Team Plasma...once a crook, always a crook. Having recently left Terra behind to pursue the latest innovations and insights into the art and science of Pokémon battling on Ruula, she's more eager to learn something about how to battle more effectively than winning the battle, all other things being equal.
Her training regimen seems extremely unorthodox, involving several forms of heavy labor, until one takes into account her belief that Trainers should strive to improve themselves just as they would with any of their Pokémon. In her mind, if you don't want to make yourself stronger, there's no point in trying to make others stronger--you will only come off as a hypocrite. This extends to the belief that the strength of a Pokémon is an illusion--it is merely a reflection of the strength of its trainer's spirit. Having buns of steel is a nice side effect, too.
Jennifer is almost never seen without her Pokémon-related paraphernalia, including various restoratives and power-ups for the trusted companions as well as the latest in gadgets developed with the Trainer in mind, and of course, the six precious spheres that allow her to pass as "just another tourist" when they are hidden under a coat in much the same fashion as one might conceal a more traditional weapon such as a gun or sword.
Her Pokémon are never definitively lined up, though she prefers to test the strength of a challenger's spirit with only two or three Pokémon per side to limit the damage done to the opponent's party while allowing strategy to hold its own against lucky matchups. Some of her options include the following:
Bastiodon "Castle" : Main lead. Sturdy body and high defenses ensure it always gets off at least one move. Its pitiful offenses means that this one move is usually something that messes with the foe's strategy. If the opponent is similarly inclined or tries to set up, it can deliver a powerful earthquake, ram them with its massive head, or even bounce a foe's attack back into them. Like a certain mascot, it travels by her side, looking like some kind of pug dog. Years of picking it up and cradling her baby during the smaller and lighter Shieldon days inspired her to take up weight lifting so she could still do it--and she can with a little help.
Aggron: The bruiser of the bunch. Impressive muscle powers even more impressive attacks with which to throw around its incredible weight, crushing weaker mons without a second thought and leaving dents in those that do manage to withstand its powerful blows.
Scizor: It's not that this member of the team is particularly versatile, it's just that what he does is applicable in a lot of situations. Possession of one of the most potent priority attacks in existence combined with a natural affinity for the move U-Turn and the ability to take a hit if need be makes him an incredibly valuable asset.
Ferrothorn: Everyone appreciates having a teammate that can take a hit for them. Ferrothorn is that teammate. He's no slouch on the offense either, dishing out painful Gyro Balls and Power Whips, healing itself at the foe's expense with Leech Seed, even getting immediate payback against foes that get close with his Iron Barbs.
Lucario: Nobody likes having their friend go down in the heat of battle. Lucario makes sure that this slight is repaid in kind, being able to attack both up close and from afar, always having a damn good tool for the job of making the foe pay for scoring a knockout.
Krabby: Caught during a catching demo. Trade fodder or surf HM slave? Hmm...
There's also usually a couple of Full Restores set aside for quick fixes during battle, but never more than two per fight.
While having a degree in automobile collision repair may look good on a resumé, the old chestnut goes that nobody wishes they'd spent more time at work when they're on their deathbed. To this end, Jennifer is full of tales where her "work hard, play hard" approach to life has gotten her into close scrapes, but the fact that she's alive after so many misadventures speaks for itself, at least in her mind.
