verse; Pokemon
Yasuchika is the youngest son of the Haninzoukas, a wealthy family with a reputation of being some of the strongest Fighting-Type experts in the world, their legacy spanning far beyond Kanto. The family's status is something he's taken to heart. His older brother Mitsukuni has went out on his journey several years ago, traveling the world with his elder cousin Takashi- although when Mitsukuni checks in with his family to report his progress- it's clear that he's not as concerned with Fighting types as the family feels he should be. Now that Yasuchika is 12, he's being bestowed his own Tyrogue just as his brother was several years ago with an order to succeed where his brother has failed. Thus he sets out on his journey to being a fighting-type expert, along with his younger cousin Satoshi. But alas, Chika is just as much of a sucker for cute, endearing Pokemon as his brother is.
Chika's well on his way to being a fighting type expert- with a team currently consists of a Torchic, (which technically will evolve into a fighting type), his starter Tyrogue, a Riolu, and a Clobbopus. However, he also secretly keeps holding onto a Cubone and a Sobble- both of which he finds solidarity in as they tend to be crybabies too. He'll deny that he kept them for any reason besides pity, but Satoshi knows the truth.
