If one should wield the Plates seventeen,
the power they'd gain beyond wildest dream,
if used for good could make all pristine,
but if used for ill,
raze all, reign supreme.
(Traditional Celestic Town Prophetic Poem)

Long ago, near immediately after Arceus first created the Universe and our world, a new dilemma was realized. The power that radiated off of Arceus was simply too much, and it's mere presence threatened to obliterate our newly created world. To solve this issue, Arceus saw fit to divide it's power into eighteen equal parts. One part remained with Arceus, while the other seventeen were transformed into Plates of incredible power. Each Plate corresponded with an element or force that existed in our world, such as the element of Fire and the Fairy force, and each one was scattered across the world.If one should wield the Plates seventeen,
the power they'd gain beyond wildest dream,
if used for good could make all pristine,
but if used for ill,
raze all, reign supreme.

Although most regard the legend of the Plates as just that, a legend, there are some groups that have dedicated themselves to locating and retrieving them. It is one of these groups that has contacted you, and offered to personally fund your journey throughout the Pokemon world. Whether it be because of your parents' connections, your own aptitude for Pokemon battling, or some other reason, a group known to you only as "The Wheel" has taken great interest in your career. They have offered to fund your journey through each of the seven regions, paying for food, room and board, and supplies. Nothing in life is free, however, and the Wheel is not doing this purely out of the goodness of their hearts. They will fund your journey, on one condition: as you journey through the regions, challenging gyms and contest halls or simply finding yourself, you must find and retrieve the seventeen Plates.

Name: Montagne "Monty" Khastil
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Physical Description: Monty is tall with an athletic build, standing at 6'3" and weighing 190 pounds. His light brown skin is drawn tight over toned muscles, and his large brown eyes are complimented by short dreadlocks that are half-blue and half-black in color.
Clothing: Monty's favorite outfit consists of brown cargo pants and black hiking boots on his bottom half, with a black muscle shirt and a grey parka (with detachable insulated lining) adorning his top half. Monty also frequently wears elbow and knee pads, as well as a pair of "tactical" gloves. Monty carries a grey single-strap backpack, which carries all of his gear.
Personality (Outside of Battle): Monty is, in a word, aloof. He doesn't pay much attention to other people and what they are doing, though this is not because he is self-centered. Monty simply prefers the silence of the wilderness and the crackle of a fire, as opposed to the sheer loudness and over-stimulation that comes with being in large groups of people or spending time in cities. When Monty does find himself having to interact with the civilized world, he often comes across as cold and blunt. Monty isn't one to tell a rambling story, meandering through each and every long and drawn out sentence; he is straightforward and to-the-point. Because of his aloof nature, Monty often gets frustrated when he has to interact with people that don't think the same way as him or people who are overly extroverted.
Personality (In Battle): During the heat of battle, Monty's aloof nature begins to fade away, being replaced by an intense and instinctive battle mindset. He often chooses battle partners based on whether or not they share this battle mindset, and his commands are often in complete sync with what his Pokemon is already doing. Monty's extensive time spent in the wilderness, observing wild Pokemon as they battle, has trained his mind to anticipate what any given Pokemon's next move may be, and often he shouts out a command coinciding with this anticipation. Although this battle style may be imperfect from a tactician's standpoint, it has led to many victories for Monty and his partners.
Backstory: (Will be Revealed in RP)
Goals: Monty is in training to become a Pokemon Ranger. While he is interested in the League Challenges, he mostly focuses on honing the skills of the Pokemon Rangers.
