(This is my first Pokemon RP in a few years and on this website so I hope this is a good writeup as well as that I didn't unintentionally break a rule already)
Name: Noah
Age: 14
Region of origin: Sinnoh
Partner Pokémon: Croagunk (no nickname)
Backstory: Growing up in Pastoria City, Noah was always influenced by the highly energetic and motivated Crasher Wake alongside the rest of the city. Noah grew up aspiring to be a noble and powerful trainer, spending many days training in the nearby beaches and swamplands. One day he snuck into the Great Marsh, believing it to be a great area to find strong pokemon. The youth was nearly hit by the train in the Marsh, when a Croagunk rushed in and pulled Noah to safety. Ever since then the two became inseparable friends. After becoming a well known rookie trainer in Sinnoh, Noah was informed by Crasher Wake himself about the Canza Contest, and Noah of course jumped at the idea. Filling out the application, he of course was accepted and immediately set sail for the Competition and Adventure!

The sun was shining, the water as blue as ever. Water pokemon joyfully swimming about. What a sight it was to behold. Young Noah from Pastoria City was taking it all in. He was like a ball of energy being contained on that ship. He absolutely could not wait to reach land and beam straight into new trials. Especially since he knew he was lagging a bit behind compared to other contest entries.
"Aww man, can't this thing go any faster...?" The youth groaned, tapping his foot impatiently.
His trusty partner, Croagunk, had walked beside him and pulled on his jacket to get his attention.
"Croa. Croagunk. Croa." The pokemon said looking up at his trainer.
"I know I know, I should relax. Save my energy and all that jazz. But I just CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE!" Noah proudly proclaimed.
The boy went on even louder, "I'M GOING TO DEFEAT ALL EIGHT OF YOU GYM LEADERS AND ANYONE ELSE WHO CHALLENGES ME! I'LL WIN THIS CONTEST NO MATTER WHAT! THAT'S A PROMISE!"
The ship docked abruptly and Noah fell over, bumping his head on the floor of the vessel. Croagunk simply shook his head as Noah got back onto his feet and the two stepped foot on this new land.
"Hehe...WE MADE IT! LET'S GOOOOOO!" Noah yelled as he ran off blindly.
Croagunk once again shook his head as he followed after, to make sure his trainer wouldn't get into trouble in record time of course.
