How would you describe yourself? "Describe myself? Good question! Umm...I used to be certain about a lot of things! Like...REALLY certain to the point that you could not tell me anything about the world. Now, I guess because of...some things...I am a not so quick to open my mouth. I will let you talk and I will listen, but do not expect much feedback. B-but don't get me wrong! There are some things I do know! Like if I know you are about to do something dangerous, I will warn you! Then if you insist, I might even stop you! N-not that I am trying to force you to do anything against your will, I-I just know when I am talking about something that is dangerous and I just won't let someone go through with it." Breathes a tiresome breath. "Other than that, I am a bit of what they say..'a wet blanket' due to me keeping to myself. I-It is not that I do not want to have fun, but rather I am questioning a lot of things that I found 'fun' or 'exciting' when it comes to being casual. So, I will try to keep my thoughts about what we should do to myself. Buuuut...if you happen to want to go horseback riding, then I will be more than happy to do that with you!~" He smiles and winks so casually at the idea of riding horses. Why are you interested in the class you've chosen? "Well, I am not the 'showy' type, but I do adore playing with my Pokemon. I suppose seeing the Contest Hall in Fuji Town all the time, and then always raising my two Ponyta, I want them to have some fun and show off! The two sisters are usually pretty restless unless they are doing something. I believe I want them to do something other than racing in the fields with me. I-I may not be the best in front of crowds, but for them, I would be happy to do my best to bare it so they can have some fun!" Why are you interested in training in Arciel? Why not another region? "I've been to countless other regions. My family is like that, ya' know? They go all over the place to these strange places for business. I-I thought she had pure intentions, but...n-no. All other regions usually have these strange make-ups and compositions that revolve around their culture. I am not a fan of...Gijinka? Nor am I interested in the political or cultural strife caused by teams to the point that things are just...well...dark. I just want to live in peace with my Pokemon!" What do you consider your best attributes? They can be physical, mental, social, or anything else. "My best? Well...you would not believe it if I told you...buuuut here it goes! I was a police officer and then I was a thief...the latter was due to some brainwashing of some type. It is crazy what some people can do with some tranquilizer-based drugs and a Drowzee and a Hypno that has a thing for feasting on dreams like a buffet. Then there was me stealing things and not knowing why, but ya' know how that classical conditioning thing works, right? So, in short, I have physical skills to move, some nerves to do things that are crazy without hesitation, and some general know how to withstand mental pressure with what I have been through." What do you consider your worst attributes? Be honest, now! "Did I mention the brainwashing thing? Well...I guess there are some things that came from that too. I do believe I am still quite gullible! I will believe almost anyone who is close to me, until I just...can't anymore! I have had enough of that from my family and people I dealt with in my past. I am a person of action, so words and all types of idle time is quite annoying to me. I am not like most eighteen year old boys, if you can see that! I prefer just spending time with the girls! To be exact, my Ponyta girls! Sooo....I guess that means I'm antisocial? Or a sociopath?" What was your childhood like? How was school? "My childhood was...I don't remember. I-It's not the brainwashing thing, I promise! It is just, I question a lot of things about since I learned about my mother's real nature. She was a mean old bat, and I thought that being quite straightforward and brooding was proper. I was gentle to the best of my ability, and then went to other regions to learn. By the time I got back and I was more indebted to my friendships and bonds, mother...did not like that. She did not like it...not one bit." His eyes cast downward. "She swore she would erase every naive little thought out of my head. Her words...not mine. Her ultimate goal was to make sure I upheld the name of the family like a proper scholar. Emotions and empathy was not important! It was the discovery and advancements! That was one of the few things she would say. What little time I spent with my sister and my friends...it did not matter anymore. My mother would take that time away from me...by force. Now, I have two memories: one of kind friends and a sister who loved me; and another of eating in solitude with a mother who taught me how to be 'strong,' or whatever that is." How is your relationship with your family? "I-I...I don't want to talk about that." Waits in silence staring off for a while. "My family was...complicated. Father was not around because he was so enamored with mother, he would suffer her crimes and even go to jail for her crimes against humanity with her experiments. Mother, she did not care about any of that. She just wanted to advance the family name. An aristocrat, she had a 'reputation' to uphold. I swear, that meant more to her than her children." Shakes head in frustration. "My sister and I were dependent on each other. We were so set on just trying to free ourselves from the family that we actually planned to exposed my mother. Unfortunately, that was the last mistake we made. I cannot remember what is the truth between that memory of us and my mother insisting that it never happened, and that she always forgave her 'beloved children,' but I know I never seen my sister again. As for my mother? I do NOT want to see her again. I cannot go home...not to Celadon City." What do you like to do for fun? "U-uh...remember that 'wet blanket' thing? But then again...I guess by myself and my girls, we like to have fun by dancing and running! We don't own a big field, but running through Fuji Town where the farm paths are, that is fun for them! I can do that so many times with Celestia and Luna until they become tired and I take them home. I often dance to calm myself since it was something me and my sisters do. When I do it at home, no matter how tired they are, the girls dance with me to make sure I am not doing it alone. I guess...even if they have not gone through that pain with me...they sense it and try to share my pain. Pokemon are so understanding, yes?" What are your feelings on romance? "W-what? Romance? O-oh...well. I-I am not emotionally available? At least, I do not think so. I have been through a lot and I like my solitude. I-I suppose being close to someone would not be bad, but what do I tell them? How can I become intimate with them when the story of my life and my family is just...chaos? I am not sure about sharing things with others beyond a meal or a time riding the girls through the town on Horseback. But, I don't think I can carry the gravity of someone's emotions...let alone my own." What are your goals for the future? Short-term and long-term. "I-I don't really have any goals set for the future. I just want to live in peace and half fun with my two favorite girls! W-wait...I guess that would count as a long-term goal, right? Well...then it would be that! I really don't plan for things and so, I am usually in the moment. So that would mean I do not really have Short-term goals since I am often focused on simply having fun with my Pokemon. Maybe I will learn to cook some better foods for them? A Ranch would be nice so I can take better care of them! Not to mention that the contests they are in? Maybe it will go great and they can shine bright like-...wait...those are short-term goals, aren't they? O-oh..." his head droops in a bit of epiphany. "...Oh." If you could be a Pokemon, what species or typing would you choose and why? "A Bellossom of course! I love to dance and I love Grass-type Pokemon! So when they use their Petal Dance and Petal Blizzard, it is absolutely beautiful! I just would want to dance right with them until I am content!" What do Pokemon mean to you? "This is...a good question. Hmm....well...a lot. Out of all the turmoil in my or even the happy moments, Pokemon have always been right there! Out of all the things that happened, Pokemon were there to support me: laugh, cry, and persevere! So no matter what happens to me, I know I will be okay as long as a Pokemon is right by my side! Not even my mother could change that...and trust me...she tried! I was amazing that the only thing she did not count on was the Scyther she gave me to be the thing to bring me back from the darkness along with my sister's Hatenna. There is just something...magical about having a Pokemon there that just changes the direction of your life, no matter how hopeless it seems, yes? That is why Pokemon will always be the center of my life, even when family, friends, and my future seem to fail me." Anything else you'd like to tell us about before you go? "No!~" He smiles happily after saying such a thing in an upbeat voice. Suddenly, he gets up from his stool and dashes to the door, whips it open, and then shuts it in haste. Catching him is out of the question. Abandon all hope. |
