Name: Natalia Nakamura
Age: 30
Gender: Female
Hometown: Accumula Town
Region: Unova
Trainer Class: Ace, Interpol Agent
Title: Gym Smasher (before Interpol)
Member of: Interpol
Appearance: Natalia is 5'06" and weighs 150 lbs of mixed lean muscle from casually working out on her journies and extensive agent training. She's got short blonde hair with longer hair on the top so she can flip it over on the right or left. She used to have long hair, but found shorter hair much easier to manage. She's also got light grey eyes. She usually wears a tank top in various colors, jean shorts, and black combat boots in hotter weather; a t-shirt of varying colors, a black jacket (for when it gets chilly or windy), jeans, and black combat boots in warmer weather; and a long-sleeved shirt of varying colors, heavy-duty jeans, and black winter boots in winter weather. She always has a brown backpack that's covered in floral pink and green flowers that holds all of her items. She also has a white and black checkered belt and has scars on her body from training her Pokemon and using her body to block hits. She has a scar running from the middle of her cheek down her neck from a Pokemon's Slash attack and a scar on her stomach from when she attempted to stop a Horn Drill. She has a Z-Power Ring from her time partaking the Alolan Trials about a decade earlier, and a Dynamax Band from when she attempted the Galar Gym Challenge.
Personality: Natalia is well known to be serious about Pokemon and battle, yet friendly enough when someone meets her. She can be pretty generous, but she usually asks for something in return for her help. She's patient enough, but sometimes becomes irritated when her help is taken for granted or when they are just using her. She is curious about people, but prefers to do what she wants to do without getting sidetracked. She can be a cynic and a pessimist, usually using self-deprecation as funny humor to low-key get some pity and sympathy. She is secretly a pretty compassionate person, but hides it with angry worry. She won't immediately help someone when they are in trouble, but prefers to hold back and watch and see the situation before her before jumping in and doing something rash. She calculates if the person can do it themselves or if someone she cares about is in danger. She doesn't much care about herself, as she enjoys the pain inflicted upon her, but she understands that Pokemon attacks shouldn't be trifled with and does what she can to make sure everyone is alive at the end of it, but she will brush it off as "not wanting the death of someone on her conscience rather than actually caring for you". She understands the complexities of the world around her and, due to looking at the negatives so much, believes that only the negative side to some things exist. Also due to this, she finds it harder to trust people and will often mentally blame those who try to be friendly with her for trying to get on her good side.
Info: Natalia was born in Accumula Town to a breeder and top coordinator in the Smart Contests in Sinnoh and Hoenn. However, she found the settled life they chose to be rather too quiet and boring. She first did so in Unova, getting the last badge before realizing that life had beckoned her to travel to another region. During these journies, she went from curious and fun to cynical and serious. A piece of who she was before makes an appearance every once in awhile, but from all the horrible things she's seen, there is no hope to get back the innocence that was robbed from her. She's had her Pokemon taken away and some of them she never saw again. Due to this, she lost all sense of trust and respect in humanity, and the only people she could go back to were her parents and older brother. But she instead used these experiences to fight for justice, but in her own more brutal way. As she was making a name for herself in Johto, she had already collected all the badges from Unova, Hoenn, Kanto, Kalos, and Sinnoh, filled out her medallion in Galar, and got almost all the stamps in Alola, only stopping at Poni Island before she got bored and went off towards other things. After her triumph at Johto, she tried her hand at the Johto Pokemon League, but was easily beaten. Realizing that she needed to get stronger, she spent a good portion of her time alone with her Pokemon and getting a few Pokemon to aid her in her endeavors. She kept trying until she made it to Alola, where the Pokemon League there was laughable compared to all the other ones, but she gave away the Champion status to the current Champion and left. She went to Kanto yet again, trying its league before she was able to end the battle with Champion Lance with a score of 5-6. She lost, but she was literally a Pokemon away from defeating him. Due to her ever growing efforts to claim the Champion spot, or to at least make her name known, she found Interpol as a possible job opportunity before her loss with Lance. It was a difficult couple of years before she was finally admitted as an agent due to her efforts in stopping some poachers with another agent in Sinnoh. While her help wasn't asked, it was still appreciated and they tested her. She passed the tests (some a little less than others) and managed to get in. Natalia then became a member of Interpol by the age of 25 after 4 years of trying to get into that position and 2 years after her loss with Champion Lance. Now, she works with Interpol as an agent and has been deployed to several regions in the past 5 years, usually bodyguard duties as her team is quite stacked and are suited for just about any situation.
Allies: Interpol
Weapons: A Stun Gun and a Slingshot. She also has an interface on her head that is rather experimental at best. It can be used for ESP, telekinesis and creating a blast of raw psychic energy. However, it's taxing on her and it creates a massive migraine, barring her from using it again. If she uses too much, she can die. It also can't work on Dark-Types.
