(Changing my post to show an unfinished revision of Pyro's trainer profile. Since this RP uses the animated series and manga as templates, I see no need to implement the limits placed on the games so without further ado...)

(click to show/hide)

Trainer Name: Pyro
Age: >160 (Physically 10)
Hometown: Ecruteak City, Johto
Current Residence: Lavaridge Town, Hoenn

Pyro’s origins are a mystery as he had forgotten his true name and previous life before the fire that destroyed Brass Tower. According to legend, he was a human boy that perished in the blaze along with the three Pokemon that would become the Legendary Beasts of Johto. Much like three beasts, Ho-oh resurrected the boy and granted him immortality at the cost of his memory and sanity. Pyro left Ecruteak to wander the world for eternity and became a scarcely remembered legend in his home region. Those who crossed his path over the decades say that he brings good fortune to the just and chaos to the wicked and legendary Pokemon appear wherever he is present.

Over the years, Pyro has had countless adventures but forgot most of them because of the nature of his existence, which necessitated a book of legends that he constantly carries. He resurfaced during the Team Aqua/Magma crisis in Hoenn when he became the companion of (soon to be) Lt. Protoman Blues and Quickie on their journey through the region. Though he parted ways with them after Evergrande City, Pyro bonded with Quickie enough to intermittently appear in her travels while working surreptitiously behind throughout the crises in Sinnoh and Unova, albeit as a thorn in the side of Teams Galactic and Plasma though not enough to attract the attention of their leaders.

Pyro mostly travels alone because his obliviousness to social mores and scatterbrained attitude tend to either make other trainers run away in terror or drive them to insanity with his constant barrage of non-sequiturs. He eventually settled in Lavaridge Town and took over the gym when the previous leader, Flannery, disappeared under mysterious circumstances. As such, he transformed Lavaridge Gym into a bizarre and random funhouse designed to test the challenger’s wits and sanity. Unfortunately, that resulted in dozens of trainers ending up in the psyche ward before they could reach him. With the lack of challengers in recent months, he felt that itch to wander again and turned his sights on Kanto to find the ultimate Cinnabar Volcano Burger.

Pokemon on Hand:

Firebrawl the Blaziken: The most stoic and solemn member of Pyro’s teammates. Unlike most of Pyro’s team, he takes his training seriously and is extremely proud of his fighting skills. Though he is often exasperated by his trainer’s antics, ‘Brawl (as Pyro often calls him) is unfailingly loyal.

Moves: Protect, Swords Dance, Flare Blitz, Blaze Kick, Thunderpunch, Hi Jump Kick, Sky Uppercut, Shadow Claw

Mr. Spook the Gengar: Pyro’s right-hand man and purveyor of pranks. Unlike his blissfully oblivious trainer, Mr. Spook seems to love playing practical jokes on other people and pokémon to give them a good scare. He also gets amusement from seeing Pyro’s interactions with other humans. He is no pushover in the battling department; his Focus Blast is particularly powerful due to it sheer size.

Moves: Shadow Ball, Lick, Disable, Substitute, Focus Blast, Confuse Ray, Taunt, Icy Wind

Jawbreaker the Garchomp: Ferocious and a voracious eater with an appetite like his trainer who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. That is what originally got him in trouble as a Gible who nearly ate Lavaridge Town out of existence. His Shiny coloration also made him highly sought after by the town’s trainers but Pyro rescued him from them and earned his trust and loyalty,

Moves: Outrage, Dual Chop, Earthquake, Sandstorm, Crunch, Dragon Tail

Memphis the Empoleon: A self-styled troubadour with an Elvis-like pompadour. Memphis is surprisingly quick and agile for his species and likes to believe he is irresistible to the womon by his song and dance. The opposite is true because of his over-the-top attempts to woo them. Vain to a fault, touching his feathers will result in a brutal smack down.

Moves: Agility, Hydro Pump, Surf, Ice Beam, Grass Knot, Sing, Supersonic

Loki the Zorua: The only one of Pyro’s pokémon who stays outside of his pokeball. He lives up to his classification as the “Tricky Fox Pokemon” because he is a kleptomaniac who will rob anyone blind (aside from Pyro, that is) given the chance. He has adopted some of his trainer’s mannerisms and often mimics his facial expressions.

Moves: Nasty Plot, Extrasensory, Dark Pulse, Hidden Power (Ice), Trick, Attract

Socks the Rotom: Pyro caught Socks when the Rotom was wreaking havoc on Lavaridge Town by possessing every appliance it could find until Pyro caught it. Socks operates the machinery of Lavaridge Gym and possesses an almost child-like cruelty in toying with others.

Moves:  Hydro Pump, Thunderbolt, Charge Beam, Hidden Power (Fire), Hex, Will O’ Wisp, Thunder Wave

Pokemon at Lavaridge Gym:

Firestorm the Infernape: Firebrawl’s sparring (and occasional tag team) partner. He is more relaxed and gives the impression that he is extremely lazy because his seeming disinterest in battling. However, he is extremely fleet-footed with his Mach Punch and second only to Firebrawl in fighting skills.

Moves: Mach Punch, Close Combat, Flamethrower, Acrobatics, Stone Edge, Fake Out, Low Kick

Sparks the Typhlosion:

Moves: Eruption, Lava Plume, Focus Blast, Solarbeam, Sunny Day, Will ‘O Wisp

Bojangles the Houndoom:

Moves: Sucker Punch, Dark Pulse, Flamethrower, Fire Spin, Sludge Bomb, Super Fang

Amadeus the Talonflame:

Moves: Fly, Flame Charge (Waiting for X and Y’s release before finalizing his moveset)

Requiem the Chandelure: Not much is known about him other than he his creepy and tends to stalk those who enter Lavaridge Gym.

Moves: Will O’ Wisp, Hex, Shadow Ball, Flamethrower, Hidden Power (Ground), Trick Room

Itchy the Arcanine: Not much is known about him other than he is usually Pyro’s mount for land travel.

Moves: Agility, Extremepeed, Outrage, Flare Blitz, Flame Charge, Wild Charge, Body Slam

Artie the Dragonair:

Moves: Outrage, Dragon Dance, Dragon Pulse, Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, Twister, Rain Dance

Charles the Volcarona:

Moves: Sunny Day, Fiery Dance, Flamethrower, Overheat, Hurricane, Bug Buzz, Quiver Dance

Mr. Spook obliged her and rolled out his tongue to give Jesse a dripping (and paralyzing) lick to the cheek, "Gar!"

Jawbreaker landed on the ground but did not appear to be fazed one bit. He instead meandered towards a levitating Jesse and clamped his jaw around her hair before swinging her into James with little effort.

"Wow, what cranky old lady," Pyro casually remarked, "Maybe she needs a bedtime."

Memphis crossed his wings and nodded in agreement, "Lee-on."

(Oh ho... Pyro did NOT just say that. )

Just a random thought for the Pokemon RP: do we necessarily need to limit ourselves to four moves for our Pokemon? The anime and the Adventures manga do not have those limitations.

Seviper would have wrapped around Pyro had the immortal trainer not swapped himself out for Jesse, who took the brunt of her own Pokemon's attack. Pyro snapped his fingers at Memphis and shook his head again.

"Maybe you need someone to tell you how to play the game," he said, "I say 'Simon says' something and you do it. Memphis, Simon says, Hydro Pump!"

"POL!" the Empoleon then took a deep breath and fired a massive jet of water at Jesse and Seviper from its beak.

As for poor James, Jawbreaker plodded towards him with his mouth agape and a hungry stare in his eyes.

As for James, Mr. Spook appeared before him bearing a malevolent grin. He opened his mouth to roll out his elongated tongue that dripped with ectoplasm, which he used to lick James on the face.

Pyro appeared behind them from seemingly nowhere, "Simon says... it's Thriller night!"

Jawbreaker took a bite of the stereo that played music Michael Jackson's "Thriller." When the trio spun around, they found Pyro along with Mr. Spook, Memphis, and Loki (to say nothing about the two dozen or so townsfolk now decked in zombie make up) playing out a

very familiar scene

"Ah, ah, ah!" Pyro said as he wagged his finger at the trio and moonwalked on the pavement, "You didn't say 'Simon says.'"

(I thought I would move things a bit.)

Meanwhile, not far from Stone Town, a familiar, Meowth-headed blimp drifts along the clouds, carrying the equally familiar trio within its green, wicker basket.

Jessie stands proudly before the opposing wind, staring at an oddly familiar card, its picture facing her to reveal a constantly spinning wheel.

"Isn't it just divine; to be able to control the very space around us with a simple command?" she sighs while sticking the card onto the bare skin of her back, "I can't wait to get my hands on the other 19 cards that pretty boy has stashed in his bag."

James and Meowth, meanwhile sat slumped against the walls of the basket, lamenting the cards they were stuck with.  James held an eerily upside down man, who had been doing nothing but stare back at him while chewing on his twig, while Meowth stared at a snot hanging person (minus the cat) ducked up to his head below the card's frame, moaning like a cat.

"I still say we should have brought this to the boss' attention during that meeting," Meowth mutters worriedly, "You know how much he hates being anywhere but the second to know anything important."

"And have him hog all of the good cards!?" Jessie exclaims while turning to bend towards the two and plant her hands on her hips, "I assure you, he will have the rest of those cards once we've sorted out the ones we want to keep!"

"I don't suppose we can sort out the ones we already have...." James groans, "This card's already starting to creep me out!"

Jessie gets into James' face, almost startling him into dropping his card, "Well, tough!  You'll just have to make do with what we can salvage from that lifeless junk of a cat toy!"

"Speaking of salvaging...!" Meowth snickers as he peeks over the basket to find they were drifting towards a familiar mountain.

"Well, well!  We arrive here again!" Jessie humphs while slamming her foot on the edge of the basket and pumps her fist in front of her, "This'll be the perfect place to put our new-found powers to the test!"

She turns her head towards her two male cohorts, "Arm your cards!  It's time to pay this town back for humiliating us in the past!"

"Roger!" the two responded while holding their cards up, Meowth with a boisterous tone while James meekly squeaked.  They then slap the cards onto their back, only for James to suddenly fly off the ground and flip upside down.

"Eee!!!  HELP!!!  MY HEAD'S ABOUT TO EXPLODE!!!" he shrieks while flailing his arms and legs about as his face starts to turn red from the blood rushing to his head.  Jessie almost blew a vein as she slams her foot onto his chin, shoving him into the floor of the basket before ripping the card out to find he had ignorantly turned it around before sticking it onto his back.

"You moron!  The Hanged Man is supposed to be upside down!" she seethes while slapping the card in its proper position on James' back now floored back, causing a pained squeak to escape his embarrassed lips.

"I was never a fan of fortune telling...." James groans in defeat.

Pyro waited atop a tree in front of the Stone Town Pokemart with Loki perched atop his head when he felt the wind brush him. A small dot on the horizon stoked his curiosity so he pulled out a pair of binoculars from his backpack to see that it was a blimp shaped like a Meowth's head headed in his direction. He smiled as he jumped from branch to branch until he touched the ground with Loki following close behind. He then ran to the automatic sliding doors towards the group.

"Somebody's coming!" he shouted, "I wonder if they're friends!"

Well, as you suggested via PM, Quickie could learn about Pyro's trolling Giovanni and ask him to tone it down in the Pokemon RP. She is probably one of the few people he listens to.

Pyro, meanwhile, let out all of his Pokemon and began spinning the empty bottle he took from Giovanni's liquor cabinet. No real reason as to why. He simply enjoyed watching it spin around inside the circle of him and his entourage.

"Spin, spin, spin, spin..."

I love thunderstorms ._.

I love them too. Except when it hails like it did this past Wednesday when I went to see Man of Steel.

Unfortunately the heavy rainfall is causing floods here in southern Alberta. Many neighborhoods in Calgary are now swimming pools and the water has risen to row ten at the Saddledome.

"What's a foot fetish?"

That is super awesome!  Where'd you meet him at?

At the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo last April. Apparently it was his first convention.
