Name: Ahi
Gender: Male
Species: Eevee
Personality: Ahi appears as a simple naive Pokémon due to his outgoing and seemingly simple and positive outlook on life. If someone has a problem all he will say is “look at the bright side” or “just fix it” rather than offer a solution. However, this is not the truth. Ahi is actually very intuitive, and a life of overcoming adversity has molded him into the type of Pokémon that is not discouraged by challenges, but decides to have a positive attitude and keep plunging forward- finding wisdom in the simple words “life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.” He is typically kind to everyone, and enjoys watching over younger Pokémon and will defend them no matter what. Although he is pretty easy going, once he gets his mind set on something he is more stubborn than anyone. Ahi may be a gentle soul, but once he gets in a fight there is no backing down. Ahi is fueled by proving himself, the second someone says he is incapable of doing something, Ahi devotes himself to proving them wrong.
Backstory: Ahi was orphaned at a young age and grew up on the streets of Lumious City, providing for himself by stealing food off of unwitting trainer’s plates. While one might assume this was a tragic upbringing, Ahi typically had fun causing trouble around the city and established friendships with Pokémon that passed through. Although Ahi enjoyed himself in the city, he always had wished for more adventure and Pokémon to play with. One day he overheard two fletching in the city talking about an amazing place called the Pokémon Village and was captivated by their words. He begged them to take him there but was only laughed at with them saying he was too young to make the journey. He was not the least bit disheartened and when he saw them fly off back to the village he followed them over the course of 3 days until he arrived at the destination. Upon his arrival, he broke down from exhaustion and was nursed to health by the Pokémon of the Village. When Uli, the village leader asked his name he replied that he never got one. She then named him Ahi, meaning flame in an island language (Maori if you’re wondering) because of his fiery spirit that drove him to arrive in the village. He quickly grew attached to Uli, since he never had a parent of his own, and they now share a unique mother/son type relationship
Favorite Color: Bright Red, because it reminds him to always look at the bright side of things
Desired Evolution: Flareon. Even though Ahi is typically laid back, the burning passion for excitement and adventure inside of him is similar to the dormant fire within a Flareon. Additionally, his positive outlook on life demonstrates he sees life with a sunny outlook-fitting for that of a fire type. Upon his evolution he fused with his Shard and it now appears as a small red ruby that has replaced the pupil in his right eye, now linked to his senses and emotions. It does not affect his vision, but when Ahi becomes impassioned, the shard begins to shine and turns a more vibrant color, giving him a significant power boost.
Extra Info: His ears are particularly well trained from living in the city, thus allowing him to pick up on sounds from far away.
RP example: Ahi awoke rather suddenly. There was not a noise that stirred him, but rather lack there of. It was only his second night in the Pokémon Village, and he was still adjusting to it. A life of living in the cities, constantly hearing the chatter of passerby’s, the humm of engines, or the pitter-patter of movement in a nearby building had trained Ahi to be more alerted by silence than sound. Ahi decided to go for a little stroll in the moon-lit forest. He winced in pain as he began to stand, he had forgotten how sore he still was from his travels. He slowly limped his way through the trees, as he tried to familiarize himself with the new environment. As he wandered aimlessly he began to feel the slightest bit homesick. Although he loved the idea of adventure, the thought of moving to a foreign terrain as abruptly as he did made him a bit nervous. He had been slowly exploring for a few hours and was beginning to get thirsty. He heard a stream not far off and made his way towards there. Upon finding it he slowly lowered his head to drink, then decided to lay down as he was too physically worn out to venture anymore. When he looked out, Ahi was stunned by the breathtaking view. The Sun was beginning to rise above the river and took on a magnificent orange hue- his favorite color- and it tinted the sky beautiful shades of blue, yellow, and pink. He saw Hoothoot beginning to fall asleep, and heard taillow sing their morning songs. A Swanna guiding her young ducklette across the stream that reflected a vibrant orange shade caught his eye, and as magikarp splashed farther upstream the water droplets began sparkling vivid sunset colors. The amazing spectacle calmed Ahi’s worries about the new location. He had only been there two days, but he already knew it was home.
