Bonjour, I'm Valentin, an assistant researcher at Sycamore Labs in Lumiose. I use He/It pronouns because I am a *he/it* in the lab! Anyway, I focus on studying the Trainer/Pokémon bond and also provide additional hands around the lab when needed! It's a pleasure to meet you all, au revoir.
Bonjour, I'm Valentin Mondrain, Head Assistant at Sycamore Labs in Lumiose City. My work consists of studying the ecology of pokemon in Kalos along with the bonds between trainer and pokemon. This encompasses both battle and non-battle scenarios, including the processes during Mega Evolution. I actually have a study I am continuously working on and would love if anyone would volunteer some time towards it! If interested, do not hesitate to drop on by the lab.
A little about me:
I was born in Oreburgh, Sinnoh but raised in Santalune, Kalos. I specialize in Rock Type pokemon and am a former Rhyhorn Racer. If you've ever heard the names Valen and Yoka, that was me and my Rhyhorn. I unfortunately quit in college due to outside circumstances, but I will gladly talk about my experience. I also was in the soccer scene in college as well, but Rhyhorn Racing is more what I am known for.
Personal Information:
I'm 43 years old, use He/It pronouns, and have a service Rotom named Novae. I do also have a bit of memory issues, so forgive me if I accidentally forget anything.
Now, I believe that is all I can think of. It's a pleasure to meet you all and I look forward to what lies ahead. Au revoir for now.

- Val cannot feasibly lie. He just falls apart any time he tries. You can use this against him.
- This one's just a fun fact, but he can Speak/Write/Read Kalosian and can only Speak Sinnohan. Novae translates, though she will not translate a lot of Val's Sinnohan for personal reasons.
- Novae may post, her typing style is √Hello!√ She will end everything with "If you notice any issues or concerns with my programming, feel free to contact Roto.Tech!" or some variations.
- Jaycé (@moddedmoor) may be mentioned sometimes bc I loooove cross referencing my own stuff :3 This isn't important, I'm just saying it.
The gentle press of soft lips against his own, sheepish in their movements. He pulls them in closer, bringing a hand up to cup their cheek. They squirm a little at this display of affection and pull away. There’s a scared look in their eyes as they dart from him to the crowd before them. It stings a little as it smiles reassuredly, grabbing their hand and squeezing gently.
“My dear? Is everything alright?” It whispers softly, so the cheering crowd can’t hear. They shake their head and squeeze his hand in return.
“N-No.”
“No?” His smile drops slightly.
“Can. Can we go somewhere quiet. To talk?” They whisper softly, voice quivering. He nods and smiles again, carefully pulling them down the aisle. A knot forms in his chest as he watches them shrink from the crowd, from the eyes on them. A woman, sobbing, grabs at him and congratulates him. He stops to thank her, before feeling a tug on his arm. They walk, disappearing into a small building. It’s empty, the crowd outside not yet filling the space, so they can be alone.
“Alright. What’s on your mind, my dear?” It asks softly, resting a gentle hand on their shoulder. They flinch and look up at him with big eyes.
“Valentin. I-I know I’m supposed to be happy, I know I’m supposed to feel this overwhelming surge of love. But I just feel scared.” They fidget with their hands as they speak, “I am really excited to be married now. But, I think the crowd just got to me…”
“Ah, darling, that’s my family..?”
“I know, but, there’s so many of them? I guess I got scared at the huge crowd.”
“I-It’ll always be like that? At any reunion? Ah, just, nevermind that for now. Shall we just. Take a break? Before the reception?”
“Y-Yeah. That’d be nice.” He smiles as they nod and carefully take his hand.
By Sinnoh, if I find more eggs hidden around my lab space, then I am going to personally give Jaycé a talking to. This better not be revenge for last year's incident.
