In-Character Information
Name: Grimsley
Series: Pokemon
Canon-Point: Before his fall. Yeah, we're going bitty here - he's 11.
History: Grimsley was born to a rich family of Pokemon Hackers [a highly illegal trade] in Unova, in Black City. [Though he does get taken to a lot of places around Unova - to go with his family to sell Pokemon, as well as to see the world.]
He doesn't have much of his history yet - he lives in happiness, even if he doesn't have any friends his own age. He's much happier with his Pokemon [all hacked - he has a Hydreigon with illegal moves, a Wondertomb, and a pretty normal Absol with illegal EVs.] then with others who don't even bother to work.
So, yeah, that's his background. |D His fall hasn't happened yet.
Personality: Grimsley is a lot different to his older self - he's younger and brattier. If you can't tell by the name I gave him in the display thingie. But that can't be all there is in a personality, can it? No, no it isn't.

But let's start with that bratiness. Seems like a good starting spot to me. He's a brat, a snob, and a smug bastard due to his upbringing. He's always gotten what he's wanted, and the only reason you don't? Because you suck. Yes, you. (Well, he may or may not be a bastard.) He always believes that he's, well, better then the avarage kid. And if he's not... well, that's impossible. He doesn't consider the fact he may be a bad person, or that his family may just be a bunch of cheaters and hackers. They're honest people, who give him the best.

Secretly, Grimsley is scared of being alone. He's afraid of losing stuff, and he's especially scared of being a nobody, having to do everything for himself. He's very private about his fears and dreams alike, however. He's not one to know many other people his age, and he's not open about anything inside him to pretty much anybody. Yeah, he's a bit troubled. He doesn't have anybody to speak with these yet. MAYBE HE'LL FIND SOMEBODY........
Powers: Grimsley... has no powers. At all. I mean, he had heaps of money and stuff, but that was back in his universe. He's powerless here.
Starter Pokemon: Murkrow.

Writing Samples
First-Person Sample:

TOPIC: Reward offered for transport to Black City:

Hello. I'm sure I don't need an introduction - at least, for those who aren't ignorant slackers. My name is Grimsley, and... I was that panicked Deino who arrived quite recently. I'm back to my normal self, but I'm still trapped in this terrible place, away from my family and true Pokemon team.
I wish to return to Black City, to the east of Nimbasa. A reward will be given to the person/people who get me there, as soon as I can access my bank account. One million PokeDollars, at the very least. I can afford it.

Please contact me as soon as you can. To be quite frank, I don't want to spend too much time here. I have much better things to do with my time.

Third-Person Sample: How many days had it been since Grimsley got here? He... well, he would have kept count, if he hadn't been such a filthy Pokemon as he arrived. Honestly, he'd become a blind monster. Now why would he be that? He was deserving of a more graceful fate - like becoming a Pokemon known as Legendary. Now that would have been a nice treat.

But, whatever, that was the past. The hurtful past, but still the past. Right now, he was more concerned with finding his way back home, to his parents. It would have just been a short fly away, if he had his Hydreigon. Or a short walk, with his Wondertomb. But now, he was stuck with a weak little bird, who was called Murkrow. A Johto rarity - but Grimsley would much rather have an Umbreon, if he was looking for a Johto Pokemon.

"What do you want?" he finally said, as the bird flew around his head.
No answer. Except for annoyance from Grimsley, of course. This was a huge bother - why couldn't he just find somebody to fly him home?

...Wait, why couldn't he? He'd never thought about it, but it was a good idea. Just ask some of those other trapped people [note that Grimsley sees them as being quite slack, if they haven't returned to their homes yet] - they'd be able to at least get him to Black City. Then he could use his position to get back to the top, and get a way home.

It was perfect.

BADGES COLLECTED:

LOCATION:

TRAVEL PARTY:
n/a

Murkrow (No nickname)
Level 57
Caught: Starter
Ability: Super Luck
Item: None
Gentle nature (▲Sp. Defense, ▼Defense)
Good perseverance;

Mean Look	Wing Attack
Faint Attack	Perish Song

This Murkrow first appeared with Grimsley when he arrived in the world - and when he was cursed into being a Deino. It helped him and guided him to the city. It's almost motherly - but it's not a good battler.
And that makes Grimsley hate it. It's so weak - it can't even help him beat the first gym fast!! Also it's too thin. However, Murkrow here is starting to resent him, and is thinking over what she heard from Team Plasma.
This will not end well.



Scrafty (No nickname)
Level 60
Caught: Route 4
Ability: Moxie
Item: None
Timid nature (▲Speed, ▼Attack)
Often lost in thought;

Headbutt	Hi Jump Kick
Faint Attack	Giga Impact

A Scrafty - but very different from the norm. She's not that good at attacking - why? Because she's semi-blind. Why, oh why, does Grimsley get all the duds?
Because it's funny. She's friendly, if not timid. And she has a crush on Grimsley. A bitty one for a bitty boy, but still. Note that her attacks are 10% less accurate.



Liepard (No nickname)
Level 59
Caught: Route 16
Ability: Limber
Item: None
Adamant nature (▲Attack, ▼Sp. Attack)
Somewhat stubborn;

Fake Out	Night Slash
Torment	Assist

She's just like Grimsley.


If he were a girl.
And also some sort of cat.

That's pretty much it.



Krookodile (No nickname)
Level 57
Caught: Route 4
Ability: Moxie
Item: None
Serious nature (Neutral)
Loves to eat;

Scary Face	Dig
Crunch	Sand Attack

This Krookodile is kinda creepy guys. It's really serious in battle - and it likes to watch. Not as creepy as A, mind you. [IN-JOKES.] But still a bit of a creep.



Deino (Mini)
Level 32
Caught: Second Starter
Ability: Hustle
Item: None
Lonely nature (▲Attack, ▼Defense)
Highly curious

Tackle	Dragon Rage
Bite	Draco Meteor*

*Mini can't control Draco Meteor yet - think like Gible from the anime.
Oh my, Grimsley gave a nickname. He feels a connection to this Pokemon, because he was one last time he was teleported. Perhaps this one is a person as well? Anyway, he treats it differently to the rest of his Pokemon.

Also, it came with a totally cool move. What kid wouldn't like it?



Victini (Actually a Ditto)
Level 52
Caught: December Event Gift
Ability: Victory Star/Imposter
Item: None
??? (▲???, ▼???)
???

V-Create	Fusion Flare
Fusion Bolt	Searing Shot

Actually, it really only knows Transform. But, whatever.
So. Grimsley has one non-dark type who he uses. And it's a Ditto disguised as a Pikaman-like abomanation which he really thinks is Victini.
It has never dropped its illusion with Grimsley seeing.
Yeeeeah.



Turtwig (No nickname)
Level 5
Caught: Route 5
Ability: Overgrow
Item: None
Adamant nature (▲Attack, ▼Sp. Attack)
Likes to relax;

Tackle	Withdraw
n/a	n/a

Babby Turtwig won't leave him alone. Even if he's slow. And a baby. God why did he catch him. Other then his rareness, that is. Boxed now.



Spinarak (No nickname)
Level 15
Caught: Random Shiny of Dooooom
Ability: Swarm
Item: None
Naive nature (▲Speed, ▼Sp. Defense)
Proud of her power;

Poison Sting	String Shot
Scary Face	Night Shade

This is his second Pokemon - and another one he awoke with. Luckily enough, it's a shiny, so he's not going to leave it behind.
Except it sucks too, and is also stupid. Also boxed now. [Secretly, the kid is scared of bugs a little. They creep him out. He will get over this as he grows older, but... not yet.]




Shinx (No nickname)
Level 14
Caught: Route 3
Ability: Rivalry
Item: None
Brave nature (▲Attack, ▼Speed)
Likes to fight;

Tackle	Leer
Charge	Spark

This Shinx followed Grimsley because he had a strong aura. Also in-jokes. It sees Grimsley as a bit of a rival - what for? Nobody knows, not even him. He's sticking with his mono-dark and Victini team right now, though.
Also in-jokes.





Zoroark (No nickname)
Level 41
Caught: Pinwheel Forest
Ability: Illusion
Item: None
Impish nature (▲Defense, ▼Sp. Attack)
Thoroughly cunning;

Taunt	Leer
Foul Play	Pursuit

What is this even. It's a wild Pokemon, sure. But it's also following Grimsley, like, everywhere. And mocking him. He's tried to catch her, but she's just evaded all his Pokeballs.

What a dick. She's even evolved! But now she's caught. Clefable's still lurking, though.




Swadloon (No nickname)
Level 29
Caught: Pinwheel Forest
Ability: Overcoat
Item: None
Hasty nature (▲Speed, ▼Defense)
Proud of her power;

Bug Bite	Protect
String Shot	Grasswhistle

This Shiny Sewaddle gave Grimsley a nasty scar. The only reason he keeps it, and even evolved it, is because of how shiny it is.

...he'll give it away if he finds somebody with a Pokemon he wants, though.



Clefable (Wild)
Level 32
Caught: n/a
Ability: Unaware
Item: None
Bold nature (▲Defense, ▼Attack)
Somewhat vain;

Metronome	n/a
n/a	n/a

Just along for the ride - befriended Zorua, and got dragged along on this adventure. Unlike most Clefable, she can only use Metronome. Some of Zoroark's plans make her worried.
