元気? It's your soon-to-be Pokéathlon Medalist Extraordinaire, Haruto (that's 陽翔, for you kanji fanatics)! Out on the field, they also call me Helios, the shining sun. Choose as you wish! I'm 23, and I go by he/him!
This soaring star's origin story all begins in Johto's Goldenrod City! I stuck around the home rather than journeying to take care of my old man after he got injured at sea, but I spent a buncha time in the National Park, running circles around those local Beedrill!
Since then, my accomplishments include serving as a Gym Trainer for Gym Leader Bugsy, studying Sports Psychology at Naranja-Uva Academy all the way out in Paldea, and now starting my journey as a Pokéathlete!
My main team is full of little guys I've met full of fightin' spirit: Sunny, the Sunkern who's gonna go all the way, Peepy, my hardboiled little Togepi, and Ommy, my cool, calm, and collected Meditite!
I've also got my old gym team with me: Slicey-Dicey, who's really sweet once you get past the scissor hands, Pewwy, who's a bit explosive, and Stabby, who's got, like... zero chill. She's hella fast though!
Looking forward to seeing you all on the training field! Later, rivals! (OOC below cut.)
General warning for unreality of the Pokémon variety!
Hello, it's Ace of @aceoflilies (she/he) out here with yet another Pokéblog! Both mod (21) and muse are adult, if uncomfortable with that feel free to block!
I decided to make Haruto since I realized there's not much coverage of Pokéathlons here, and I recently spent several months in the Kansai region of Japan, where Johto is based off of! As such, Haruto will sometimes use "Kantonian" (Japanese). I'll put translations in the tags. (I should mention, I am NOT Japanese myself. Let me know if I absolutely mess something up, I'll fix it.)
Haruto is mostly going to be low-stakes, but has some (moderate) darker aspects to his background that might be explored in mini-arcs. Any specifics would be warned and tagged, of course! (I'm also open to involving him in medium-to-high-stakes Johto events!)
He's also more than a bit of a flirt. I won't direct that on other blogs that aren't my own without asking first though! And though I'll generally avoid explicit content, if something is suggestive it'll be tagged as such (#suggestive).
Anyways, that aside, I use the usual tags: #pkmn irl and #pokeblogging. Asks will be tagged as #haruto answers. OOC notes will be tagged as #//(content).
Guys I found this place that sells custom shoelaces???? And?????? THE CATERPIE LACES???????

Sorry for inactivity! 🙇 I got hit with the triple whammy of In Stars and Time followed by Deltarune Ch 3+4 and then playing Persona 5 Royal for the first time so I’ve been distracted in my free time shfjfkdk;;;
//For the sake of the ‘plot’ here, I’m treating it as if time has passed, though Haruto hasn’t posted about anything that’s happened in a bit. Feel free to ask him about stuff!!!

Fr though, it’s not that crazy!!!! Sunkern are great jumpers, and so they can do some crazy tricks when it comes to speed and power!!!! Especially since they just kinda launch themselves into shit!!!!!!! Sunny is my GOAT because of that!!!!!!
Hey so… hypothetically! If you were going to maybe see someone you hadn’t seen in a long time!!! Or like… practically forever??? And you wanted to have things go right!!!!
Should I be doing something????? Like, I dunno, a gift???? A letter???????
