i’m not in the mood to write, but since i’m playing pokemon, here’s each boy’s poketeams from a hc forever ago !
classic / impact — munchlax, staravia, marill, croconaw, alolan!cubone, and slacking! he’s more of a laidback trainer, takes care of his pokes plenty, and out of the others has the most potential to become champion, just not the motivation. you’re more likely to find him asleep and his pokemon having wondered off than him actually doing anything! but make no mistake - impact wins nearly every time, mostly through underhanded yet clever tactics.
fell / drux — vaporeon, bayleef, houndroom, poochyena, luxray! a rowdy trainer with a suspicion towards most, drux prefers pokemon above the company of others. he’s brash, bull-headed, and while his win to lose ratio isn’t the best, it’s obvious he’s got a passion that rivals even the most elite - that and he learns very quickly after every loss, so there’s hardly ever repeat failures. it’s only his ruthless anxiety and distrust towards others that really hold him back.
horror / acri — typhlosion, gardevoir, sandslash, aron, skarmory, and mawile! a quiet, sickly trainer, and yet from his first battle it’s obvious : he’s got a ruthless and unnerving skill for battling.
error / aevena — haunter, electrike, prinplup, glaceon, rotom, alolan!vulpix! difficult, angry, destructive. his prinplup shares the same destructive tendencies, and he’s a fumbling trainer at best. with his nasty and awkward attitude, he ofts get carried away and over-extends himself in battles or gets too cocky.
