Name:Francisco
Gender:Male
Hometown:Goldenrod City, Johto
Age:18
Height:5'5" (Gotta love the short guys, am I right?)
Weight:125 lbs
Hair:Dark brown, almost black.
Eyes:Brown
Clothing:Wears mainly black and red, likes to look classy, so dress shirts are commonly worn. Sometimes will wear brighter colors if the occasion calls for it.
Identifying Marks:None
Musculature:Athletic
Personality:Pessimistic at times, but generally fiery, hyperactive, and jovial. The huge change can be blamed on the manic-depressive disorder he suffers through as a result of two things that will be mentioned later.
Skills:Firstly, as this apparently counts towards his Mary-Sue score, Francisco knows how to drive. Generally a fast learner, and quick on his feet. He's a bit of an empath, able to easily sense the emotions of other people (which contributes to the strain of his bipolar disorder), and to a lesser extent, pokemon (he's not on par with the empathetic talents that N possesses, basically). These aspects together make him a very skilled battler, but should he hit a low point in his emotions during battle, things can get hairy for him.
Past: Francisco never knew his father, and his relationship with his older sister had always been rocky. Through his entire life, all he ever had was his mother. She supported him as a small child, and encouraged him to go on his journey. In fact, it was her, not Professor Elm, who gave him his first pokemon. An Eevee, who would later become a Flareon and acquire the nickname, Flame. Six years after he started his Journey, Francisco's mother fell deathly ill. At this point, he was taking on the pokemon League in Unova, it was the closest he had ever been to making it to the League conference finals, but he knew what was more important, he threw his semifinal match to return with haste to Johto to visit his mother. He spent two weeks with her before her passing. This had thrown him into a deep depression from which he could never fully recover. He was later diagnosed with manic-depressive disorder, better known as bipolar disorder. His older sister, Izzy, and her family took over their mother's home, and though their relationship had always been rocky (mainly due to an incredible similarity in the fieriness of their otherwise opposing personalities), out of love for her little brother, Izzy and her husband, Abel, pushed Francisco to succeed, and to go back on his journey again. He would also receive a lot of support from his cousin, Sergio, who would make frequent visits from Kanto. Two years later, at age eighteen, Francisco has finally gotten the urge again, he and his pokemon headed out of Goldrenrod City to find adventure once again, and to one day, become champions.
Family:
- Desi (Mother - deceased)
- Izzy (Older Sister - Age 35)
- Abel (Brother-in-law - Age 34, hails from Sinnoh)
- Marble (Oldest Neice - Age 15, only three years younger than her uncle)
- Eli (the middle child and Marble's little brother - Age 11, and just starting his own journey)
- Ada (Francisco's youngest niece - Age 5)
- Sergio (Cousin - Age 30, hails from Kanto, decided to head to Orre along with a group of Francisco's friends now that Francisco is starting his journey again.)
Love Relationships?:None written in at the moment. This is subject to Change.
Pokémon:Species, Nickname, Gender, Ability, Hidden Power, Special Features, History/Personality, etc.
1. Species: Flareon
Nickname: Flame
Gender: Male
Ability: Flash Fire
Hidden Power: None
Special Features: Incredibly fast for his species, due to the care taken into his breeding.
Personality: Jolly-natured, he likes to bring joy and laughter to others.
History: Francisco's first pokemon, bred and gifted to him by his mother. The two are inseparable and have gone through thick and thin together. Flame may not be the strongest member of Francisco's team, but he is the most reliable.
2. Species: Charizard
Nickname: Fury
Gender: Male
Ability: Blaze, Tough Claws (Mega Evolved)
Hidden Power: None
Special Features: None
Personality: Careful-natured, Fury is very observant, and thus a very wise pokemon.
History: Fury was Francisco's second pokemon, he was left abandoned as a Charmander right outside of Goldenrod city when Team Rocket deemed him unworthy of use to Giovanni. He was battered and weak, so Francisco rushed him to the pokemon center. The two have been extremely close ever since. Fury received his nickname when he reduced the base of the Team Rocket members who had hurt him to smolders. He is capable of Evolving into Mega Charizard X in tough spots.
3. Species: Empoleon
Nickname: None (Although Francisco will affectionately refer to him as Leon from time-to-time)
Gender: Male
Ability: Torrent
Hidden Power: None
Special Features: None
Personality: Gentle-natured, Leon is very caring, and loves to nurture infant pokemon.
History: Leon's original trainer was Marble, he is the child of Abel's Empoleon, Suki. At the time when he started his Journey, the home that Izzy's family lived in was too small to harbour pokemon, so as a gift, when Francisco visited their old home in Azalea Town, they gave him Piplup. Through much training, it would eventually become an Empoleon of such stature that it could rival its mother, Suki.
4. Species: Infernape
Nickname: SolarFlare
Gender: Male
Ability: Blaze
Hidden Power: None
Special Features: None
Personality: Naughty-natured, SolarFlare loves to cause a little bit of mischief.
History: It's hard to say whether SolarFlare was Francisco's third or fourth Pokemon. On his way to Izzy's old home in Azalea town, a mysterious man bumped into 10-year-old Francisco, knocking him down. As an apology, the man gave Francisco and egg. However the egg did not hatch until after Francisco recieved Leon from Marble. When it did hatch, it was a healthy young Chimchar. In his first battle, he activated his blaze ability, reminding Francisco of the solar flares he had seen on television on the space broadcasting channel. This would be the nickname he bestowed upon the fiery little monkey. After much hard training, SolarFlare would eventually become a hardy Infernape.
5. Species: Ursaring
Nickname: Beast
Gender: Female
Ability: Guts
Hidden Power: None
Special Features: None
Personality: Impish-natured, Beast loves to harass her opponents.
History: Beast is Francisco's fifth pokemon. He encountered her in Ecruteak city as a Teddiursa trying to steal food out of the basket of an unaware picnicker as they were leaving the city. He drew attention to her and she attacked, Fury, a Charmeleon at this point, subdued her and Francisco quickly captured her. She was invaluable in battles where Francisco's predominantly fire-type team was at a disadvantage. Upon returning to Goldenrod to take on Whitney, Beast took Miltank's challenge and evolved into Ursaring, mopping up the floor with Whitney's team. Beast got her nickname from the way she frenzies her opponents. Her favorite move is Thrash.
6. Species: Dragonite
Nickname: Crusoe
Gender: Male
Ability: Inner Focus
Hidden Power: None
Special Features: None
Personality: Mild-natured, Crusoe is very relaxed, chill, and nonagressive.
History: Francisco would not meet this sixth member of his team until he arrived in the Kanto region. On a trip to the Safari zone for a catching contest with a rival trainer, Francisco came across perhaps the most majestic pokemon he had ever laid eyes on, a Dragonair bathing himself in the lake. He spotted Francisco and both stood their ground, Francisco tossed his Safari Ball, and that was it. The Dragonair had joined his team, he named it after a character from a novel he had read as a child, where a family had encountered an infant Lugia and bestowed the name onto it. It would take the Challenge of Lance's Dragonite, and evolved during that battle, although he lost to the more experienced Dragonite, Crusoe knew a strength he never knew he could.
Fury’s Mega Evolution
On their journey through Hoenn, Francisco became very interested in the phenomenon of Mega Evolution. He had heard of it in the past, but after hearing that the League Champion of the region, Steven, was capable of Mega Evolving his Metagross, he needed to know more. After a few days of research, Francisco learned that Charizard were capable of mega evolving. He also learned that the trainer and pokemon needed to have a strong bond forged through friendship, trust, and experience. Francisco had a Charizard, his second pokemon, and close friend, Fury.
Francisco knew that he and Fury had the bond required for Mega Evolution, at that point, they had been partners for five years, and have seen much of the world together. They had faced three pokemon leagues together, each time becoming close, and learning from their losses together. Francisco and Fury had everything they needed for Fury to mega evolve, save for two things: A Mega Stone, and a Key Stone.
Francisco did more research; he looked through the Archives in Mossdeep City and learned of the Draconids, an ancient tribe who have deep ties to the Legendary Pokemon, Rayquaza, and Mega Evolution. He learned that there were very few of them left, and the archives were very vague as to where the remaining members of the tribe could be found. But, he needed to talk to them to learn more. Asking around town to see if the locals knew anything, he finally got answers from the Nurse in the pokemon center. She told him that there were rumors of the remainders of the ancient tribe taking refuge at Meteor Falls, their ancestral home.
With haste, the then 15-year-old made his way to Meteor Falls. He battled his way through many dragon-tamers, who saw him as a challenger instead of an inquirer, and, finally, crossed paths in the winding caverns with an elderly woman. Francisco asked her of the Draconids, when she revealed that she herself was the chief of the remnants of the tribe residing at Meteor Falls.
Francisco brought Fury out, and asked her if she could teach him more about the phenomenon of Mega Evolution. She explained that Mega Evolution is the result of untapped power laying deep dormant in the pokemon being unleashed by a strong bond with its trainer, and that this can only occur when the trainer and the pokemon hold two resonating stones, the Key Stone and a Mega Stone.
The elderly woman could see that Francisco and Fury were definitely close. She asked if Francisco and Fury were interested in using Mega Evolution themselves and both eagerly nodded. She made them aware that she had a key stone on her person that she would be willing to give to the trainer and his Charizard, provided they pass a trial.
The trial was no small feat, to be sure. The two would have to brave the harsh jet streams of the Hoenn skies, the Domain of Lord Rayquaza. The goal was for Fury to test himself, and for Francisco to coach him along to become better. The Elderly woman, being a Draconid and attuned to the dragon-typing, wanted Fury to prove himself by learning a move that he could not normally learn on his own without the help of a tutor. Fury had to learn the Dragon-type attack, Dragon Pulse, by making contact with the dragon-type power held deep within him that allows all members of his species to gain the dragon-typing when mega evolving into Mega Charizard X. Soaring through the skies would help him find that inner Dragon-type.
Francisco theorized that battling pokemon in the sky who would know the move would help Fury understand what it means to be a Dragon-type. Thus, helping him understand what it will take to unlock his potential and learn Dragon Pulse. Were this a regular day of training, Francisco may have just had Crusoe battle Fury, but due to the nature of the trial, Francisco had to leave the rest of his pokemon with the Elder, to ensure the one-on-one effort. Their only hope would be to find a wild roaming dragon to battle in the open skies.
The first Dragon-type pokemon they would come across at these high altitudes were a duo of Altaria. Fury challenged them to a battle, a challenge they accepted. The battle raged on for a good fifteen minutes before it was over, Fury had dominated the two Altaria, and the challenge was not sufficient enough for Fury to speak to his inner dragon. The battle concluded and the two Altaria continued on their way. No luck.
After a few more hours of soaring through the sky, things were starting to seem bleak. Dusk would be upon them soon, so Francisco began to ponder whether they were truly worthy of mega evolution, and whether it was a good idea to land and take refuge before nightfall. Fury scoffed at these notions when Francisco spoke of it. Fury knew they were worthy. He knew he could learn this move on his own, so long as his trainer was there for him, Fury knew he could do anything. Francisco realized this and they continued on into the coming night sky.
Soon, they would find something powerful soaring through the skies, a Salamence. Fury almost charged her to initiate a challenge, but then Francisco saw that she carried two Bagon on her back, and halted Fury. The Mother Salamence was relocating her family. Francisco and Fury approached her and made themselves clear that they meant no harm, they simply wanted to escort her and her young safely through the night sky, because many dangers could lurk. The Mother Salamence accepted the offer, and one of her two sons, the little daredevil, jumped across the backs of the two large flying pokemon and landed in Francisco’s lap, cuddling up to him. Francisco was taken by surprise that a wild Bagon would be so friendly to a new human.
An hour later, it was about midnight, and something terrible happened. A Dark Pulse knocked into Salamence and Fury. The impact knocked Francisco and the two Bagon off the backs of the two large flying pokemon. Francisco quickly grabbed both Bagon during the fall, and positioned himself to where he would take all the impact if they were to hit ground. Salamence swooped down and caught them on her back. The Dark Pulse attack had come from a Hydriegon, infuriated that another Dragon had come flying through his territory.
Francisco hopped on Fury’s back from Salamence’s and the battle was underway. Fury and Salamence versus Hydreigon.
Francisco began to give Fury orders, and the wild Salamence fougth alongside them. The Salamence used Dragon Breath to immobilize the Hydreigon, while Fury rushed the devilish creature with Dragon Claw. The beast simply shrugged off the two super effective direct hits and replied with a powerful Draco Meteor, showering the blasts all over Fury and Salamence. Francisco and the two Bagon were now holding on for dear life.
The blows were exchanged for almost half an hour until Hydreigon hit the mother Salamence with a powerful Dragon Rush, knocking her and her offspring out of the sky. The two Bagon were holding on to their unconscious mother, screaming for their lives. Without hesitation, Francisco did a nose dive off of Fury’s back and made contact with Salamence, pulling a revive out of his pocket and using it on her, awakening her so she could regain lift. Francisco rode on her back along with her two infants.
Fury grew restless, in the darkness of the night sky, he could no longer see his trainer, and Hydreigon already blended in. Miraculously to him, he could hear his trainer shouting “Fury, keep it together! I’m alright. Just follow what I say, and we’ll all survive this!” This was calming to Fury, but it also lit a fire. Fury was now enraged by the danger Hydreigon had put his trainer, and friend, in. Hydreigon reappeared, launching towards Fury with a powerful Dragon Rush. Fury caught him, and looked him dead in the eye before sending him back with a powerful Focus Punch.
Fury’s target was set and locked. No matter what, Fury was able to see his opponent. Fury heard Francisco order out a Flame Thrower out in the distance and he complied. Hydreigon, however was unfazed. He charged through the Flame Thrower and hit Fury with a powerful Body Slam. Fury’s blaze ability activated. Fury bit onto Hydreigon’s neck and tossed him downwards. He could hear Francisco in the distance order a Fire Blast, Fury complied, but something else happened. Instead of a Fire Blast launching from Fury’s gaping mouth, a huge, purple-colored, bright aura shot straight out at Hydreigon, enveloping the Brutal Pokemon.
Francisco was able to see the whole battle thanks to the Night Vision goggles he had invested in back on his journey through Sinnoh. But the brightness emitted from this blast was as clear as day. Right away, Francisco knew it. Fury had learned Dragon Pulse. The Dragon Pulse had rendered Hydreigon unable to continue battling, and so, it fled. Fury met back up with Salamence, Francisco, and the two Bagon, and they all flew back to Meteor Falls together.
They made it back by noon the next day. Salamence decided to make her home there, in the caves. Francisco and Fury returned to the Elder, and she returned his pokemon to him. Flame was ecstatic to see that Francisco and Fury were both alright.
The Elder asked if Fury had learned Dragon Pulse. To prove it, Francisco ordered the move, and Fury displayed it to all his might. The Elder was impressed. She revealed that her name was Bruma, and that she too, in her younger years was an aspiring trainer, and she was capable of mega evolving her Charizard. It had been two years since her partner had passed away, so she told them that she no longer had use for her Key Stone nor her Mega Stone, as she was too old to raise a new companion, and it would never be the same as her dear old Charizard.
As promised, she awarded them the Key Stone. And as a token of her esteem for risking their lives to save the Salamence and her two infants when things got hairy, she also gave them the Mega Stone that she used to Mega Evolve her Charizard back in her day, Charizardite X. With this, Francisco would now be able to Mega Evolve Fury in battle into the Fire- and Dragon-type, Mega Charizard X. Francisco and Fury were proud of what they were able to achieve together, and from then on, in times of great need, Francisco would call upon the power of Mega Evolution to power up Fury even further.
