National Park Bio:
A native Unovan, Matthew came to the National Park in hopes of finding Pokémon not indigenous to his home region. He dislikes fighting wild Pokémon, and prefers bonding with them through other methods, but will certainly order his own Pokemon to strike back when under attack. He also sees the Park as an opportunity for his own Pokemon to take a breather from daily Unovan life, since it can get very hectic, especially in big cities like Castelia.

Matthew is a slim, 5'8" white teenage boy with messy blond hair and green eyes who typically wears a light blue T-shirt, khaki shorts, and cream shoes, though he will wear warmer clothing (such as a darker blue coat and brown pants) in colder climates. He doesn't like being in large crowds and tends to be nervous about what other people think of him. This makes him likely to do whatever he's told, which can be taken advantage of. However, he's also a lot calmer when around his (or anyone's) Pokémon, having always found it easier to relate to and bond with them than humans. He has a strong affinity for Fire, Fighting, and Psychic Pokemon, and he hopes to meet lots of them while at the Park.

 

Pokémon
Sonic the Typhlosion

• Gender: Male
• Abilities: Blaze, Flash Fire
• Nature: Adamant
• Moves: Tackle, Leer, Smokescreen, Ember, Quick Attack, Flame Wheel, Defense Curl, Flame Charge, Swift, Lava Plume, Flamethrower, Inferno, Rollout, Double-Edge, Eruption, Burn Up
• Met At: Starter
• Exp. Points: 16
• Battles: 5/7
• FFAs: 1/3
• Contests: 1/2
• Festivals: 1/2

Sonic is a particularly hardheaded Typhlosion, known for not always following his Trainer's commands if he thinks them unnecessary. He's particularly likely to ignore commands that don't line up with the strategy he already has for the fight at hand. While this makes him difficult to implement in a larger-scale plan, it can also be exploited; giving a command Sonic is likely to reject can be a way to trick him into doing what you really want him to do.

Haku the Dragonair

• Gender: Female
• Abilities: Shed Skin
• Nature: Gentle
• Moves: Wrap, Leer, Thunder Wave, Twister, Dragon Rage, Slam, Agility, Dragon Tail, Aqua Tail, Dragon Rush, Safeguard, Dragon Dance, Outrage, Hyper Beam
• Met At: Mart (voucher)
• Exp. Points: 5
• Battles: 4/4

Haku isn't much of a fighter, not wanting to attack directly for fear of hurting bystanders. Instead, she fights passively, using Thunder Wave to slow enemies down and then both Agility and Safeguard to keep herself safe and less likely to be hurt. But beyond her gentle, caring demeanor lies a highly powerful Dragonair who won't hesitate to strike back if aggravated. Her Outrage is quite the sight, but she uses it even less often than her other moves since it exhausts her greatly.

Tesla the Luxray

• Gender: Male
• Abilities: Rivalry, Intimidate
• Nature: Hasty
• Moves: Tackle, Leer, Charge, Baby-Doll Eyes, Spark, Bite, Roar, Swagger, Thunder Fang, Crunch, Scary Face, Discharge, Wild Charge, Electric Terrain
• Met At: Mart
• Exp. Points: 12
• Battles: 6/8
• Contests: 0/3

Tesla doesn't like anything long-winded. He prefers to get straight to the point, and as such isn't much of an on-the-dot strategist and dislikes setup methods. He tends to get so wrapped up in winning the battle at hand that he forgets that his opponent can fight back, leaving him highly susceptible to punishment after his attacks. But when not in action, he's fairly talkative and more receptive to plans that don't always involve a direct frontal assault or something similar.

Eggshell the Togetic

• Gender: Female
• Abilities: Hustle, Serene Grace
• Nature: Calm
• Moves: Growl, Charm, Metronome, Sweet Kiss, Yawn, Encore, Follow Me, Bestow, Wish, Ancient Power, Safeguard, Baton Pass, Double-Edge, Last Resort, After You, Magical Leaf, Fairy Wind
• Met At: Mart
• Exp. Points: 5
• Battles: 4/4

Eggshell, like Haku, doesn't like direct fighting and prefer to fight indirectly. Unlike Haku, however, Eggshell is perfectly fine with attacks that don't make contact, such as Ancient Power and Fairy Wind. If she's already done enough damage, she'll probably tire her opponents out with Yawn or distract them from the battle at hand with Charm, but her only way of knowing how much is enough is by how her opponent acts; they can fake low health, making her opt for such non-damaging moves instead.

Spiral the Omanyte

• Gender: Male
• Abilities: Swift Swim, Shell Armor
• Nature: Impish
• Moves: Constrict, Withdraw, Bite, Water Gun, Rollout, Leer, Mud Shot, Brine, Protect, Ancient Power, Tickle, Rock Blast, Shell Smash, Hydro Pump
• Met At: Underground
• Exp. Points: 2
• Battles: 0/1

Spiral, for being a Pokemon thought to be lost to time, is quite the trickster. He loves over-the-top attacks, but this makes him very likely to be impressed when others pull it off. When fighting, he tends to try stringing other moves, in addition to the actual command, into a combo - a trait that can catch Trainers and Pokemon alike off guard. He dislikes using most non-damaging moves other than Protect, as he doesn't see them particularly useful when trying to get the opponent's guard to fall.

Yoshi the Treecko

• Gender: Male
• Abilities: Overgrow
• Nature: Brave
• Moves: Pound, Leer, Absorb, Quick Attack, Mega Drain, Pursuit, Screech, Giga Drain, Agility, Slam, Detect, Energy Ball, Quick Guard, Endeavor, Screech
• Met At: Winter Gift Station 2016
• Exp. Points: 1

Yoshi is quite a mythology buff. He's always taken an interest in reading about exploits of fabled heroes, and after hearing of a Grovyle who allegedly saved his world along with a human-turned-Riolu, he's felt emboldened to become just as capable as the Grovyle in the legend. But this goal of his has left him rather sensitive to criticism, as it's the only way he knows of to gauge success. But complimenting his successes leads to him becoming even more self-confident and continuing to strive toward his goal.

Falcon the Infernape

• Gender: Male
• Abilities: Blaze
• Nature: Hardy
• Moves: Scratch, Leer, Ember, Taunt, Fury Swipes, Flame Wheel, Nasty Plot, Torment, Facade, Fire Spin, Acrobatics, Slack Off, Flamethrower, Mach Punch, Feint, Close Combat, Flare Blitz, Punishment, Calm Mind
  • TM Moves: Swords Dance, Substitute, Aerial Ace, Bulk Up, Earthquake, Stone Edge, Shadow Claw, Brick Break, Grass Knot, U-Turn, Roar, Stealth Rock, Bulldoze, Flame Charge, Sunny Day, Will-o-Wisp
  • Egg Moves: Fake Out, Encore, Thunder Punch
• Met At: Winter Gift Station 2016 (formerly named Flamer)
• Exp. Points: 36

Falcon is a spirited fighter at heart and loves pouring his all into fights, especially when the odds seem stacked against him. He likes looking for ways to turn incoming attacks against themselves, such as dodging a High Jump Kick only for the attacker to embarrassingly land flat on the ground. But when fighting a weaker Pokemon, he deliberately performs worse so as to not make them give up hope. He knows how important hope and confidence are - indeed, if he loses either, things often don't go well for him. Besides, you don't win by being lucky, you win by being bold.
