Sonja Baron

[Parugi]

Username: Parugi.
Name: Sonja Baron.
Wiki Page:
Faction: Team Liberty.
Hometown: Accumula Town, Unova.
Age: 19.

Appearance: Here. Sonja stands at 5'8". She has slightly tanned skin, standard for those from Unova, long brown hair, purple eyes and a beautiful, heart-shaped face. She usually wears loose, blue jeans, a green hoodie and a black shirt underneath that, as well as white sneakers. She uses a white bag to carry her supplies.

Personality: At first glance, it might seem odd that someone like Sonja is a member of Team Liberty, or taking part in the war at all, for that matter. Kind, intelligent and friendly, she doesn't seem like the kind of person who would want to battle against anyone. However, she has a strong sense of justice and freedom, making her perfect for the team. Due to her relative aversion to battle, she does not get assigned to a large number of missions; however, she is more than willing to travel with other Team Liberty agents to Unova so as to show them around, as well as provide pointers to keep them out of trouble with the Unovan government--something that, unfortunately, she has had to do far more recently than she used to. Overall, Sonja's a very happy and kind individual, and is more intelligent than she appears.

Background: Sonja was born in Unova, and lived there until the age of fifteen. While there, news about the war in the other regions was scarce, as was any general information about the world in which the war was taking place. She spent most of her time exploring with her partner Pokémon Loki and Gaia; in doing so, she managed to learn whatever she could about the war from those individuals who had not been hushed. Eventually, she stowed away on a boat headed for Kanto, and joined Team Liberty as a Unovan guide. She was assigned to the Soil Colossus mission following Silvermind's second kidnapping, acting as a guide to the Unova region, a job she was more than happy to accept; she was also given an extra Pokémon for protection, in the form of Ares.

After the Soil Colossus mission, which culminated in the appearance of Team Magma, Sonja joined Kyle Eston and Zach Hikari on a mission to both investigate a series of dimensional disturbances and apprehend a criminal called Black. Their trip took them to Ectruteak City, where they encountered a monstrous, extradimensional man who proceeded to destroy the city, as well as a trio of Legendary Beasts that had appeared from another side dimension. Finally arriving in Unova, Sonja was involved in the battle against Maddison Hayes, who revealed herself as Sonja's lost sister, Sophia, and later fought against Black--in truth, Zach's brother, Ryan--at the Dragonspiral Tower. The resulting damage to Unova at the hands of Kyurem and Palkia caused severe trauma to Sonja, which she has only recently begun to truly recover from.

[Parugi]

Species: Druddigon.
Nickname: Ares.
Trainer: Sonja Baron.
Appearance: Virtually the same as a standard Druddigon.
Personality: Ares is very rash, recklessly charging into battle and always eager to fight; Sonja is slightly unnerved by this, though she respects Goldhawk's decision to lend the Pokémon to her, and believes that he may have done such to help tame the Dragon Pokémon. Ares has a tendency to pay little attention to Sonja, due to having spent such little time on her team, though would still probably do whatever he could to save her if she were in trouble.
Ability: Mold Breaker.
Specialty: Ares is a strong physical attacker; he is also quite fast, giving him an extra edge in battle.
Known Moves: Claw Sharpen, Leer, Bite, Dragon Claw, Fire Fang (Egg Move,) Superpower.
EXP: 12

[Parugi]

Species: Conkeldurr
Nickname: Loki.
Trainer: Sonja Baron.
Appearance: Loki is still fairly youthful, and thus looks a lot less grumpy than a number of other Conkeldurr.
Personality: True to his nickname, Loki is quite impish, always ready to pull a prank at a moment's notice. He is also a bit of a show-off, striking dynamic poses for no particular reason and always attempting to add an extra flair to his attacks in battle, a trait he mimicked from Evan Tierra. Past experiences have allowed Loki to get past his own vanity and accept his new appearance with relatively open-arms, recognizing the need for his new form's increased power if he intends to continue protecting his trainer and teammates.
Ability: Guts.
Specialty: Loki is most skilled when it comes to physical attacks. Evolving into a Conkeldurr has also increased his durability by a large amount, allowing him to defend better against attacks. He is still rather slow all around, however, and because of this does not fare well against fast opponents.
Known Moves: Stone Edge, Bulk Up, Endure (EM), Reversal (EM), Focus Energy, Dynamic Punch.
EXP: 22

[Parugi]

Species: Lilligant.
Nickname: Gaia.
Trainer: Sonja Baron.
Appearance: Gaia looks like a regular Lilligant.
Personality: Gaia is a very gentle Pokémon, finding ways to be friendly towards almost anyone she comes across, whether they be friends or foes. Though she does not like to battle, nor does get she angered easily, she is willing to go to great lengths against those who push her far enough, and does not condemn pragmatic tactics against those who would harm her trainer.
Ability: Own Tempo.
Specialty: Gaia is mainly a support Pokémon in battle, inflicting status problems on her opponents so that others can take them out. Though she prefers not to fight, she will if she has to, particularly since her evolution has greatly increased her power.
Known Moves: Synthesis, Stun Spore, Sunny Day, Quiver Dance, Petal Dance, Sleep Powder.
EXP: 11

[Parugi]

Species: Lanturn
Nickname: Poseidon.
Trainer: Sonja Baron.
Appearance: Poseidon's lamps can shift between different colors.
Personality: Poseidon is quiet. So quiet that, much to her embarrassment, Sonja often forgets that Poseidon is a member of her team. Upon realizing her mistakes and negligence towards him, she has vowed to help him reach his full potential as a battling Pokémon. For his part, Poseidon doesn't seem to mind--his evolution has brought him quite a bit of happiness, and he is content to simply entertain others using his lights.
Ability: Volt Absorb.
Specialty: Poseidon is best when it comes to nonphysical attacks, as well as Special Defense. In water he is incredibly fast and strong, which has only been amplified by his evolution. Paradoxically, the same evolution has allowed him to last longer and move somewhat better on land, though not nearly to the extent that he would be able to in the water.
Known Moves: Signal Beam, Hydro Pump, Thunder Wave, Discharge, Confuse Ray, Charge
EXP: 10

[Parugi]

Species: Tranquill.
Nickname: Athena.
Trainer: Sonja Baron.
Appearance: Almost exactly like any other Tranquill, although Athena has a few scars on her body.
Personality: A very careful Pokémon, Athena has lived almost exclusively as a defensive fighter; since she was born into an area known for its Pidove-family wars, she, like others, was essentially forced into either an offensive or defensive role. She tends to be fairly cautious in battle, knowing her own limits, and doesn't take kindly to newcomers due to trust issues. However, once you gain Athena's loyalty, she will fight to her last breath in your name.
Ability: Super Luck.
Specialty: Athena's primary specialty is in support and tactical moves. Her main use is in dodging and tiring out an opponent; Athena developed this tactic due to her lackluster defense capabilities and less-than-impressive attack power. However, she makes up for it by being too quick to hit... usually.
Known Moves: Roost, Detect, Featherdance, Quick Attack, Air Cutter, Tailwind.
EXP: 12

[Parugi]

Species: Croconaw
Nickname: Neptune.
Trainer: Sonja Baron.
Appearance: Neptune's 'tunic' is solid tan, with no blue spots.
Personality: Though it may come as a surprise to some, Neptune is a very gentle and loving Pokémon--he loves being around people, jumping up and hugging them as soon as he sees them and very rarely being intentionally harmful. Even so, he is a strong battler, capable of holding his own in most situations, and is willing to do whatever it takes to win a battle.
Ability: Torrent.
Specialty: Neptune specializes in physical attacks, and has more endurance than most other Croconaw, allowing him to better handle physical defense.
Known Moves: Aqua Tail, Ice Fang, Slash, Dragon Dance (Egg Move,) Headbutt, Endure.
EXP: 15

[Parugi]

Species: Rhydon.
Nickname: Atum.
Trainer: Sonja Baron.
Appearance: Blue eyes as opposed to red.
Personality: Atum has always been rather different from other Rhyhorn, resulting in a fairly lonely personality. As opposed to living up to the unintelligent bruiser standards of the Rhyhorn line, Atum was born with an above-average intelligence, resulting in an entirely different specialty in combat and in life. As a result, he was shunned until Sonja came along and befriended him, resulting in a deep, unbreakable bond of loyalty between Pokémon and Trainer.
Ability: Lightningrod.
Specialty: Atum specializes in, surprisingly, special attacks and speed, which help him make up for his lackluster special defenses and attack.
Known Moves: Horn Attack, Rock Blast, Scary Face, Ancientpower (MT,) Fury Attack.
EXP: 10

[Parugi]

Species: Noibat.
Nickname: Neith.
Trainer: Sonja Baron.
Appearance: Standard for a Noibat.
Personality: A rather timid Noibat, Neith must nevertheless be given some credit for his bravery in wanting to split from his mother's nest. He is still young, but as he grows, he will surely become a stronger and more confident Pokémon.
Ability: Infiltrator.
Specialty: Though he is still learning how to battle effectively, Neith already demonstrates a penchant for speed and special attacks.
Known Moves: Gust, Agility, Supersonic, Roost.



Species: Noivern.
Nickname: Neith.
Trainer: Sonja Baron.
Appearance: Standard for a Noivern.
Personality: Though still socially timid, Neith is a courageous and fierce fighter with strong protective instincts. He has certainly gained new confidence with his evolution, but nonetheless remains somewhat shy off the field.
Ability: Infiltrator.
Specialty: Neith's evolution has greatly increased his speed and special attack power.
Known Moves: Gust, Hurricane, Agility, Supersonic, Roost, Boomburst, Outrage.
EXP: 11

[Parugi]

Species: Tyrunt.
Nickname: Tanith.
Trainer: Sonja Baron.
Appearance: Tanith's horns are white.
Personality: Headstrong and fierce, Tanith is just as brave as she is foolhardy. She is not unused to accidentally getting herself into trouble despite her good intentions. She can be slow to trust newcomers, including new teammates and trainers.
Ability: Strong Jaw.
Specialty: Tanith doesn't have much in the way of a set specialty--her primary tactic is just to attack until her opponent is defeated.
Known Moves: Thunder Fang (EM), Ice Fang (EM), Bite, Tackle, Tail Whip, Hone Claws.
EXP: 5

[Parugi]

Species: Amaura.
Nickname: Beira.
Trainer: Sonja Baron.
Appearance: Beira's eyes and sails appear to shift in color from different angles.
Personality: Confident and adamant, Beira is a beauty and she knows it. She spends much of her time showing off her colorful scales, oftentimes distracting even herself--and her opponents--in battle. She has a difficult time following orders.
Ability: Refrigerate.
Specialty: Beira's top strength is her ability to distract opponents. Ironically, despite her lack of ability to work well with others, this often means she is a valuable ally in battle.
Known Moves: Thunder Wave, Attract , Aurora Beam, Hail, Take Down, Light Screen.
EXP: 3

[Parugi]

Species: Raikou.
Nickname: Sheik.
Partner: Sonja Baron.
Appearance: Same as a usual Raikou, except female.
Personality: Relatively feisty, though nevertheless an extremely just and friendly Pokémon. Sheik will not hesitate to tell people how it is if she disagrees with something, though her intentions are always for the betterment of whoever she is speaking with. She is bold to the point of berating even Ho-Oh for what she perceives as an ill-made decision.
Ability: Volt Absorb.
Specialty: Speed and special attacks.
Known Moves: Rain Dance, Magnet Rise, Signal Beam, Thunderbolt, Iron Tail, Calm Mind.
EXP: 20
