(My Pokemon Character)
(Sorry it's so long, XD)
(Also, the Known Attacks are included more as a reminder than anything.)
Name: Serenity Alleene
Gender: Female
Hometown: Blackthorn City, Johto
Age: 19
Appearance: Serenity stands roughly 5'2, and weighs about 105 pounds. On the whole, she is petite and usually shorter than anyone else her age or even some people younger than her. But, despite her diminutive size, she remains fairly toned and is lightly tanned.
Her long umber locks fall in waves to her waist, and are usually unbound. On formal occasions, she tends to wear it in a half ponytail. Serenity's eyes are a pale cerulean blue, almost the same shade as a Dragonaire's crystals.
Attire — She tends to gravitate towards the traditional Dragon-tamer's garb, and makes certain that they're travel worthy. Black boots overlap her lower legs, with dark blue trousers tucked inside of them. A simple brown belt hangs at an angle on her hips, five custom glazed pokeballs attached to it. Serenity's shirt consists of a cobalt blue sleeveless tunic, just tight enough to show feminine traits. She wears a small Dragon-Scale on a silver chain around her neck as her only ornament. Serenity wears a silver PokeGear hooked on her belt, and a knapsack with basic necessities is oftentimes visible. Overlapping her general garments is a blue travel cloak with a hood, when not rolled and stuffed in the bag.
Identifying Marks: A thin scar runs down her left side and across her hip from a run-in with members of Team Rocket, specifically one of which that carried a knife. Their sentiment had grown from more than just stealing Pokemon — The second, and unfortunately more successful comeback had given their arrogance quite a boost, as well as furthered their methods.
Skills: She has a basic grasp of karate, and is fairly experienced in making healing poultices for people and Pokemon alike. Serenity has taken a class in massages during the time she was in Goldenrod to challenge Whitney, and uses the knowledge to relieve soreness on pokemon and people alike. As a Tamer, she can have a relatively calming affect on many pokemon, though she usually has to put more effort into it with non-Dragons. (Others could develop later.)
Weaknesses: She has a low tolerance for cold, and reopening the scar down her side would most likely prove severe.
Personality: Serenity is relatively calm, and rarely panics. She is more than willing to help out people in need, but learned to exercise caution after receiving a particularly unpleasant consequence of doing so. As such, she's taken to observing people before approaching them. But her love and respect for Pokemon tends to influence her decisions, sometimes not in the best of sense if something important is happening.
She has a tendency to grow protective of people she considers friends, and will go to the extent of placing herself ‘in line of fire' if necessary. If the situation calls for a battle or even all out fight, she's not above getting gritty and joining in. Ironically, she is occasionally the first to start, and certainly doesn't mind putting some people on the ground if they persist. Most scoff at her somewhat small size when it comes to physical fights, or even capability as a Tamer, but may soon come to regret it to an extent.
Serenity does enjoy relaxing at times, though. Although the times when she gets to do so are few, her favorite way of relaxing includes soaking in hot springs or reading mythology.
She also has an odd habit of giving her Pokemon-partners name based off of the mythology about the ‘other' world.
Past: Serenity Alleene was raised in Blackthorn City of Johto, looking up to Clair and Lance of the Dragon Clan. From her early childhood until now, she still respects and admires them. She tried to follow in Lance's footsteps to be a Dragon Master, until she saw an Espeon that was under the possession of a gym challenger. That turned out to the only non-dragon that would sway her loyalty to the type to such an extent, causing the young girl to start looking for an Eevee to add to her arsenal of her ‘starter' Dratini.
But, by the time that she was deemed ‘strong enough' to travel alone by the Clan elder, she had turned fifteen. Yet, by that time, Team Rocket had also begun its resurrection — Making her quest for badges all the more difficult, especially what with their increased activity.
Along the way, she acquired a Magicarp from a fisherman just past Violet City, and found a seemingly untamed but injured Eevee just outside of Azala Town. With some work and TLC, her team of three began to grow strong. It may have taken time, but it proved well worth it. Especially as she knew some of the more important things were more difficult than the trivial.
After the full year of traveling through Johto, Serenity returned to Blackthorn for her final badge. When it was properly earned, including passing the true challenge, she stayed in her hometown a few weeks before going back to traveling. Three years afterward, however, it seemed Team Rocket felt brave enough to resurface. This time with Giovanni at their head, causing a full-brunted strike to fall over the entire region of Johto.
Family: Caroline (Mother). Arren (Father), deceased.
Love Relationships?: None to speak of, but it is still quite possible.

Nickname [meaning] (Pokemon), Gender:
Freyr [Norse for ‘Lord'] (Dragonite), Male
Type:
Dragon-Flying
Ability:
Inner Focus
Known Techniques (Attacks):
(Naturally Learned) Thunder Wave, Twister, Dragon Rage, Slam, Agility, Aqua Tail, Dragon Rush, Safeguard, Dragon Dance, Wing Attack.
(Specifically Taught) Fly, Strength, Dragon Claw, Thunderbolt, Thunder/Fire/Ice Punch, Iron Tail, Extremespeed.
(Misc/Inherited): Dragon Breath, Dragon Dance.
Special Features:
Has blue, rather than brown eyes. Is still a foot smaller than most Dragonites, with Freyer only standing at 6 feet even, but is more agile than most. Has a telepathic link with Serenity, due to her presence during his hatching.
Accessories:
Wears a Dragon-Fang around his neck on a sturdy iron chain.
Nature/Personality:
Timid
Freyr is sensitive about his diminutive size, but has learned to use it to his advantage in terms of speed. But, in the presence of other Dragons, he tends to hang back rather than immerse himself. It took time for Serenity to convince him that he was of equal stature, not simply an underling compared to the rest of his clutch. Freyr has his cuddle-bug moments, and is very protective to those he cares about. Being telepathic, his speech is also very formal, despite the modern age he hatched in.
He was given the name ‘Freyr' because of his heritage, Serenity feeling that even if he was smaller, he was still worthy of it.
History:
As a Dratini, Freyr had been a bit of a runt from his clutch, far smaller than the other six that hatched. When Serenity had turned ten, she'd chosen him for her first companion, finding similarities already. Being Serenity's ‘starter' Pokemon, they built a bond through the years before she was allowed to travel alone.
Following the code of the Dragon's Den, they underwent a series of training through those years, before finally being allowed to take the final test: Taming one of the unruly dragons that had taken up residence in the area.
- Now having been her partner for nearly nine years, he is Serenity's closest companion and most trusted friend.

Nickname [meaning] (Pokemon), Gender:
Terasu [short for Amaterasu, the Japanese Sun Goddess] (Espeon), Female.
Type:
Psychic
Ability:
Synchronize
Known Techniques (Attacks):
(Naturally Learned)Tackle, Tail Whip, Sand Attack, Confusion, Quick Attack, Swift, Psybeam.
(Specifically Taught) Reflect, Return, Psychic.
(Misc/Inherited): Charm, Zen Headbutt.
Special Features:
Rather than having fur like a normal feline or fox, Terasu's lilac pelt is as sleek as a Rapidash's body coat and defines every slight muscularity. Telepathic.
Accessories:
She wears a white ribbon around her neck, tied into a sash. While it confirms her gender, if often tricks foes into believing her weak.
Nature/Personality:
Mild.
Terasu is relatively calm, and rarely displays a temper. She is proud of her pelt, but does not show it except when grooming. In that, she is quite efficient and thorough — Much like her battling style: Quickly, and as painlessly as possible. While she prefers to be quick in battle, she has an occasional ruthless side that appears whenever someone is intentionally being cruel. This sometimes results in the said someone being picked up an thrown. But, she does have a soft side, despite her usually formal guise. Terasu also enjoys having her ears rubbed.
She was named Terasu in reference to the myth of Amaterasu, the Goddess of the Sun.
History:
Terasu was hatched just east of Azala town, but found no one in the near by vicinity. She encountered Serenity a couple days later, after getting in a scuffle with an angry Rattata, it's nest having been trampled by Team Rocket. The trainer immediately tried to help her, though she was reluctant at first. After a few days to recuperate, she decided that it wouldn't hurt to go along. It wasn't all in all that long until she evolved into an Espeon, before reaching Ecruteak.
- As of current time, she has been with Serenity four years.

Nickname [meaning] (Pokemon), Gender:
Leviathan [Atlantian sea serpent/dragon myth] (Gyrados), Male.
Type:
Water-Flying
Ability:
Intimidate
Known Techniques (Attacks):
(Naturally Learned) Splash, Flail, Bite, Leer, Dragon Rage, Twister, Ice Fang, Rain Dance, Hydro Pump.
(Specifically Taught) Surf, Waterfall, Brine, Flamethrower.
Special Features:
He has a deep green scar down his left side (where the healing blue and gold scales had tried to mix) from a Scyther attack directly after he evolved, having not expected it. He also has several smaller scars on the inside of his mouth from accidentally being hooked as Magicarp and in result, struggling against the line.
Accessories:
A Mystic-Water dangles from the center of his ‘crown'.
Nature/Personality:
Rash
Leviathan will act before thinking, oftentimes plunging into battle for various reasons: Either to protect his mistress and teammates, or when challenged by other males of his species. He is astoundingly loyal, partially due to Serenity's careful training and attention during his time as a ‘lowly' Magicarp. Though his current size can get in the way, he has learned maneuver it to his advantage in many situations. He likes to think himself a worthy opponent even to most dragons, but doesn't object to letting younger pokemon or even some people sleeping on him if they're in water.
He was named Leviathan for the mighty sea-beast that he would become.
History:
Serenity received him from a fisherman in Violet City, the said fisher already having too many of the species. Because Magicarp are well respected in Blackthorn for what they become, and their relation to dragons, she found no qualm in accepting a supposedly weak pokemon. It seemed odd to her, how many scorned the little orange schools of fish. As if somehow forgetting the beast they would become upon evolution, even.
Leviathan himself had dreamed of becoming like the single Gyarados that roamed the Violet Lake, whom rarely displayed himself to humans.
- As of current time, he's been with Serenity for four years.

Nickname [meaning] (Pokemon), Gender:
Neith [Egyptian for Goddess of Water] (Dragonair), Female.
Type:
Dragon
Ability:
Shed Skin
Known Techniques (Attacks):
(Naturally Learned) Wrap, Leer, Thunder Wave, Dragon Rage, Slam, Agility.
(Specifically Taught) Ice Beam, Hail, Rain Dance, Sunny Day, Sandstorm, Mist, Water Pulse, Surf.
(Misc/Inherited): Dragon Breath, Dragon Dance.
Special Features:
The crystals are daintier than on a male Dragonair.
Accessories:
A Lustrous Orb is attached to the end of her tail, adding a third (but smaller) sphere to the line.
Nature/Personality:
Adamant
While firm, Neith remains leery of even making herself visible with a good majority of humans, after an experience with Team Rocket. When she feels strong enough to embolden her actions, her crystals even have an inner-aura glowing. That alone is enough to convince others that she isn't something to be taken lightly.
She prefers the company of other dragons to most humans, though will allow humanoid company if it is of that related to Serenity's friends or kin. Nieth is not very fond of fire, but loves rain, and has been known to do RainDance simply because she felt it was too hot out.
Neith was named for her regal personality and appearance, after a supposed Goddess of Water.
History:
Being the newest addition to Serenity's team, she is still adjusting to some ideas of it. Neith was ‘taken' from a Rocket member, whom Serenity had obviously doubted proper connections. The feminine dragon remained wary for some time, before finally beginning to warm up towards Serenity.
After that process began, she slowly grew friendlier all the way around, towards all of her teammates. She will make a point to help Freyr in particular, as he was the first to help her.
- Neith has been with Serenity for five months.

Nickname [meaning] (Pokemon), Gender:
Seiryu [Blue Dragon of the East] (Dratini), Male.
Type:
Dragon
Ability:
Shed Skin
Known Techniques (Attacks):
(Naturally Learned) Wrap, Leer, Thunder Wave.
(Specifically Taught) Safeguard, Protect, Dragonbreath (this taught by Freyr and Masuyo)
(Misc/Inherited): Dragon Dance.
Special Features:
Seiryu is a slightly darker shade of blue than the rest of those from his clutch.
Accessories:
Nature/Personality:
Timid
Being so young, Seiryu is afraid to explore the surrounding areas and would rather not battle much. While he's shy for the most part, once he warms up to a person in question he'd rather play and cuddle with them then anything else. Overall, because Seiryu is freshly hatched, he would rather hide when there is confrontation because he's so small.
History:
Seiryu hatched upon Serenity's arrival to the Dragon's Den, emerging from his egg about ten minuets later. He immediately took a liking to Freyr and a Flygon called Masuyo, apparently looking up to them.

Nickname [meaning] (Pokemon), Gender:
Iay [Goddess of Fire] (Charmander), Female.
Type:
Fire
Ability:
Blaze
Techniques (Attacks):
(Learned): Scratch, Growl, Ember, Smokescreen.
(Specifically Taught): Sunny Day, Double Team, Dragon Claw, Will-o-Wisp, Hidden Power [Dragon], Iron Tail.
(Misc/Inherited): Dragon Dance, Dragon Rush, Crunch.
Special Features:
Iay's eyes are mismatched; her left eye being garnet colored, her right being blue. She has unusually high speed for a Charmander (great for playing games of ‘tag').
Accessories:
She adorns a midnight blue ribbon around her neck, tied into a bow at the back. On the front of the ribbon, an extremely small FireStone is attached to it.
Nature/Personality:
Naïve
Iay is an extremely friendly Charmander, and will gladly cuddle with anyone who lets her. While she can battle, and is fairly good at it, she still prefers companions over fights. She is affectionate to her brother, Nusku, and has a very demanding sweet-tooth.
History:
Only hours after she hatched, Iay remembers something happening to her father. At the same time, something even worse happened to her other. All she could remember clearly was that the ones who had attacked were dressed in all black, causing a dislike for the color to start in her. A few days later, she convinced Nusku to tell her what had happened, which then made her wary of humans for a time.
But, when she was two weeks old, an encounter with a human actually swayed her caution. After the attack from a Skarmory, she decided against her brother's wishes that it was fine to play and snuggle with the majority of humans as long as they didn't wear black.

(Not onhand, for the most part) - [1]:
Nickname [meaning] (Pokemon), Gender:
Yume [Dream] (Rattata), Male.
Type:
Normal
Ability:
Guts
Techniques:
(Naturally Learned): Tackle, Tail Whip, Quick Attack, Focus Energy, Bite, Pursuit, Hyper Fang, Sucker Punch.
(Specifically Taught): Cut (Trimming those teeth).
(Misc/Inherited): Flamewheel.
Special Features:
His pelt is of unusual color, as rather than purple and beige its cobalt blue and white. It might be a genetic defect or odd gene, but it certainly makes him cute.
Unable to evolve, having eaten an Everstone while trimming his teeth.
Accessories:
A small green scarf (considering his small stature) encircles his neck as a little gift from Serenity, tied so the ends don't accidentally slow him down.
Nature/Personality:
Hardy
Though Yume is small in stature, he is big in heart. He'll fight with resolve for the ones he cares for, and though he is proud in his style he knows when to stop. Although he hatched as a ‘wild' Rattata, his demeanor seemed to fit that of a domesticated one more than where he was. Despite Yume's small size, he has the appetite of a Snorlax (per say), and can consume up to fifteen berries in one sitting.
History:
Yume hatched near Blackthorn, though was watched over by both a Typolsion and Raticate for his first week. For a while, from watching the fire weasel, he somehow managed to use his body heat to create his own fires, but from using a lot more energy than most pokemon would. After wandering away from the nest he learned to cultivate that ‘power' to where it slowly became easier to use. By the time he was four months old, he could use it at will.
While looking for ways to trim his ever-growing teeth, he worked his way into someone's backpack and started gnawing on the hard things. Though that didn't last long, he managed to chew a nice hunk off of an Everstone before the said human picked him out of it.
Despite Serenity's usual affiliation with Dragons and a single Espeon, she quickly grew attached to the little one; and named him Yume for his blazing, but dreamlike spirit.
