Improved Training Alex's Pokemon receive an additional amount of EXP equal to 20% of what they normally would (120%) No Escape When a Pokemon or Trainer tries to flee an encounter, your STR modifier is subtracted from the roll.

Hidden Strength X 1/1 (Daily) By expending a Trainer Action, a Pokemon Alex owns may use a move that one of its evolved forms learns naturally at a level no greater than its current plus twice Alex's CON modifier (+12), or a move that any of their evolved forms may be Tutored. Torrential Assault 1/1 (Daily) If a Pokemon or Trainer attempts to flee or is recalled, as a Free Action Alex may issue a command to one of his Pokemon to act as an Interrupt before this happens. [1.03] Physical Description Apparently the Internet doesn't into "Save" ; I'll rewrite this and add it in later. [1.04] Backstory Alex was born into a farmer's family, but the farm life didn't exactly provide anything interesting to him, nor did schooling of any form (though the latter may be attributed to his dyslexia); since there was no one on the farm who had the time to take an hour-long walk with the boy to and from school twice a day, Alex often took advantage of this to sneak off into and explore the city himself, his adventuring days lasting well into his teenage years. One particularly rainy day when Alex was fifteen, Alex had made a turn into a dark alley, where upon entering he found a Riolu beating away a Purrloin with the broken end of a plastic beach shovel. Taking note of the Riolu, covered in filth, sopping wet in in the rain, and retreating into a garbage can to munch on the well-beyond rotted remnants of an apple, he offered to bring it back to his house to clean up and get the thing a decent meal. This only ended up with him under "attack" from the self-proclaimed Imperial Knight. This attack on Alex ended in an abysmal failure, but when Alex went to pick up the Riolu, he was stopped by a mysterious woman that was holding the injured Purrloin and seemed to be familiar with the Riolu. After explaining the situation to the woman (and getting stared down by her extremely unsettling gaze), the woman found Alex's actions to be void of ill intent, and formally introduced herself to him as Lady Sophia. Following the incident, Alex managed to befriend Sophia, and discovered that she travelled throughout the city, taking in wounded Pokemon and nursing them back to health. Those who wished to return home afterwards were free to do so, but those who sought to stay found themselves welcome in her house. Needless to say, she had amassed quite a menagerie of Pokemon within her apartment. Alex was under Sophia's "apprenticeship" for three years, during which he learned to care for the younger Pokemon, taking up residence in her home throughout and befriending a couple of the Pokemon, be they street dwellers or otherwise, himself. During that time, he had come to take a liking to her that, while it wasn't exactly a romantic interest, was beyond what one would call a normal friendship. However, one day Alex awoke to find that the entirety of Sophia's apartment had emptied itself out. Scouring around the apartment, all Alex found was a single note laying on the nightstand, leaving instructions to watch over Arthur in Sophia's absence. Left hurt, confused, and worried for her safety by Sophia's sudden disappearance without so much as a goodbye, Alex rounded up Arthur and a few of the other Pokemon who had come to like Sophia and set off on a journey to find her. This quest stretched out over the course of well over a year, during which Alex found himself more often than not with not even the slightest of resources to care for himself and his Pokemon; as such, he had to resort to stealing and the likes to sustain the Pokemon he was taking care of, prioritizing their own welfare over his own. As his search had him stowing away in boats to search the entirety of the world, it was plenty dangerous enough… However, Alex had made the grave mistake of picking just the WRONG boat in port to sneak into … ( Which explains how he ended up in the organization; he's basically under an agreement equivalent to "Okay, we're not gonna kill you, and we'll let you search for your little girlfriend, but you're workin' for us now!" ) [2.01] Arthur the IMPERIAL KNIGHT Riolu Gender Male Nature Brave Ability Inner Focus Held Item None Level 14 Experience 2475 Arthur likes to think of himself as a knight, and battles for honor, chivalry, and the affection of many a fair maiden. To help promote his "knightly image", Alex dug up some things for him. The Riolu now parades about in a tattered blanket, falling apart at the seams, wears a red plastic bucket atop his head, and carries the lid of a pot around for a makeshift shield. The pride of his knightly equipment, however, is none other than the "Divine Fury", one of those dual-pronged steel fork thingies people use to get their food off of the barbecue; it's bent and rusted in several places, and is wrapped in so much duct tape at one spot that it looks as if it got mauled by a roll of the stuff, but Arthur wouldn't give it up for the world.

As such, she desperately seeks someone who will love her in return, throwing herself at people with reckless abandon as she tacklehugs them; however, she often drives people away with the tag team combination of her overly aggressive approach and having no arms suitable to hug you with (On top of them being tiny little stubs, they're pointy as shit!) Alex swiped some worn-out cooking mitts with oversized hearts on them for Erin to wear so that she doesn't hurt people in her hugging sprees, but they only cover so much of her body. Erin also has a habit of getting things other than people stuck on her pointy spikes; after coming across a commercial for a new Katamari game, Erin now firmly believes that she IS a Katamari.

Has a habit of getting into arguments with people, hates being called a "worm" or a "snake", and will respond to anyone saying he can't or shouldn't do something by socking 'em in the face and spouting off something along the lines of "Is it 'cause I don't have hands? Are you racist against people who don't got no hands?"
