Name: Zachariah "Stonewall" Styles
Age: 20
Pokemon: Heliolisk, Hydreigon, Lucario, Swampert, Tyranitar, Charizard (Shiney)
Home: Alola
Appearance: Zachariah is a 6ft 5 205 lbs muscular teenage male with tan skin. He has an intimidating and ominous aura about him. He has black hair and gold eyes. He wears a black trench coat with a white t-shirt, blue jeans, and tennis shoes. He has two scars that overlap his eyes and meet at his nose. He wears a gold chain around his neck. He has a tattoo of a dragon roaring on his chest and a tribal tattoo on his back.
Personality: Zachariah is a cold, unforgiving, and ruthless person. When he battles he likes to feel out his opponent. All of his Pokemon are trained to withstand long and punishing battles. Zachariah's training style is to try and break his Pokemon, forcing them to battle time and time again with no rest, to the point of borderline abuse. He doesn't accept failure from his Pokemon and if they faint during battle Zachariah makes them pay. He records all of his battles and whenever he has free time he studies them, writing down notes, mostly what he needs to improve on. That being said, he cares for his Pokemon and makes sure they are well-taken care of. After a victory, he rewards his Pokemon handsomely. Zachariah is a lone wolf, preferring his own company over others. Zachariah is not just harsh but he is extremely prideful. Despite all that, he is a very honorable battler, once he knows a battle is done, he will order his Pokemon to stand down. Win, lose or draw once a battle concludes he will simply walk away to study and train, never being satisfied with his performance.
Backstory: Zachariah has very little memories of his parents. All he can truly remember is tears falling on his cheeks as he was being handed over to an unknown person by what he assumes to be his mother. Zachariah has lived in Aether Paradise, located in the Alola Region for the vast majority of his life. While he was there, Aether President and Zachariah's legal guardian Lusamine forced him to complete challenging and intense studies on Pokemon evolution and development as well as battle strategies. He was pushed hard in his studies and while he was given no Pokemon, Lusamine allowed him to use rental Pokemon to practice what he had learned. While Lusamine treated him well, Zachariah became a cold and unforgiving person. Once he turned eighteen Lusamine decided that Zachariah's talents were best served elsewhere. So she told him he should go challenge a Pokemon league and that it was his choice which one that was. After thinking long and hard Zachariah chose the Hoenn Region. Here he met Professor Birch who was about to give young May and Brendan their starting Pokemon. Coincidentally, the champion of the Sinnoh region, Cynthia was there as well visiting Professor Birch. Although it had been 18 years Cynthia recognized her son immediately and after Zachariah battled with May and Brendan, she offered to travel with him and coach him, resolving to not tell Zachariah the truth. Zachariah accepted and thus his journey begun. Zachariah never respected Lusamine's biological children, Lille and Gladion. He saw Lille as a weak, spineless fool who had no business around Pokemon and Gladion as a pathetic failure of a human being who will never be his equal. He has won the Kanto, Hoenn and Sinnoh leagues and placed in the top four in the Johto League and Kalos League and the top two in the Unova League. He earned the nickname "Stonewall" due to his cold and unreadable personality, his ruthlessness on the battlefield, his dedication to his training and his ability to remain calm no matter what. Eventually, he learned the truth from Cynthia's mother, his grandmother. At first, he was angry and even joined Team Galatic to try and take his revenge of Cynthia but soon realized that he was becoming just like his father. Horrified and disgusted with himself he challenged and defeated his father. While in the Hoenn Region Zachariah met Zinnia, the then Lorekeeper of the Draconids. The two worked together to prevent an upcoming disaster and became close in the process. They met once more in the Hoenn League finals which Zachariah narrowly won. He was than named the COO of the Aether Foundation by Lusamine for his victory in the Hoenn League.

Zachariah heaved a sigh of relief as he tossed his fancy clothes off the side of the ship. He was a trainer, not a spoiled rich brat. He was wearing his usual clothing and if anyone had a problem with it they could go jump off the ship right after his stupid fancy clothes. He turned to his notebook which had all his notes from his previous battles in it. He studies this notebook two hours a day every day followed by books on Pokemon tactics. He wasn't surprised at this invitation at all but at the same time, he had only come not to battle against strong trainers but because he needed time away from all the chaos that seemed to follow him everywhere he went. Once he was off the ship he went somewhere private, he couldn't care less about the other trainers. He had serious training to do. He let out his Pokemon and began their hardcore training regime for today. If anyone were to see this they would say it was borderline cruel due to how hard he was pushing them
