Alex Zyther

[flipz]

Username: Flipz
Name: Alex Zyther
Gender: Gender-fluid (they/them pronouns)
Faction: neutral
Hometown: Camphrier Town, Kalos
Age: 20 (Birthday: July 26th)
Appearance: [image]

Thin, drawn, and sickly. Barely able to walk unassisted, owns a pair of canes with arm clamps to help them keep their balance. Alex's Pokemon are usually outside their Pokéballs, helping to support Alex or being ready to catch them--Bliss carries their Bag for them, though they still throw their Pokéballs themself through a cartridge clipped to one of their canes. After their journey through Reflection Cave, their hair dye has worn completely off, and they have opted to retain their natural black-haired blue-eyed appearance.

Original outfit: "Striped shirt combo aqua", shorts in the style of "damaged jeans", "purple socks", "blue sneakers", "artificial flower pin aqua" as shown in the Serebii pic (i.e. on a generic gray female-style hat).

After their previous outfit was destroyed during the events in Celadon City, Alex was gifted a new outfit by Valerie of the Laverre City Gym. This new outfit was designed to evoke the coloration and appearance of an Azumarill, and Alex was given both a skirt and a pair of shorts to match the rest of the outfit.

Alex left their damaged Valerie outfit at Shabboneau Castle to be repaired, and has instead adopted a simpler recreation with more mundane pieces.

Personality: A sweet, gentle soul who wants to help others and bond with their Pokémon. Having spent the majority of the life they remember sheltered and isolated in mansions and hospitals, Alex has a thirst to prove themself and show others that their illnesses and disabilities don't make them weak, thus informing their ambitions to take on the Kanto Pokémon League and join Team Rocket like their sister Lucia.

Background: Discovered at age 15 on the outskirts of Geosenge town, Alex was taken in by Cassie Mikazuki, who soon married Lionel Zyther (the successor through marriage to the Shabboneaus of Kalos). Despite their adoptive family's concerns about Alex's health, Alex wanted to travel, so Cassie and Lionel sent them to Kanto to meet their adoptive mother's family for the first time...

Equipment:

• Holo Caster
• custom crutches - A specially-made pair of crutches designed to keep Alex's hands free while using them.
• Consumer-model Kalos Pokédex
• Digital Organizer - A gift from their father, at his insistence the original version had the gold-plated case rather than the pink-with-ribbon design (Serena's model in the anime). The replacement has mostly corrected this error, being Azumarill blue with pink ribbons.
• Portable Incubator - A gift from Alex's alternate-universe counterpart in a magic-based universe. Currently empty.

Species: Blissey
Nickname: Bliss (also answers to "Blissie")
Gender: Female
Trainer: Alex Zyther
Appearance: Due to constantly carrying Alex's Bag, Bliss has a pair of diagonal stripes across her body--tan lines, of a sort.
Personality: Protective and motherly, Bliss helps keep Alex's other Pokemon focused and happy, as well as assisting him in his daily life. She's essentially Alex's "seeing-eye Blissey", even though he's not blind (though he is naive).
Ability: Serene Grace
Specialty: Blissey has extensive knowledge of medicinal herbs, plants, and Berries, due to her time spent caring for Alex. Due to his reliance on her, however, she is extremely reluctant to enter battle, to the point that she will refuse unless both of his other Pokemon have demonstrated that her help is truly needed.
Known Moves: Soft-Boiled, Heal Pulse, Heal Bell (egg move), Metronome (egg move), Sing, Helping Hand (egg move)
(egg moves from Clefairy)
EXP: 18


Battle Log:

• Celadon City invasion (multi-battle, event) (2)

Species: Eevee
Nickname: Sylvia (formerly Sylph)
Gender: Female
Trainer: Alex Zyther
Appearance: An ordinary Eevee, but she has been decorated with many bows and ribbons. It's clear what Eeveelution Alex would like her to evolve into. Sylvia will also sometimes wear Alex's spare hat. Upon closer inspection, the white fur on her tail forms a heart-shaped pattern.
Personality: A carefree sort, Sylvia would rather play than fight.
Ability: Run Away
Specialty: Sylph is so adorable that almost everyone finds it difficult to attack her (the Puss-in-Boots phenomenon). This is good, because Sylph is both weak and frail in battle due to lack of training--she's mainly used for support.
Known Moves: Wish (egg move), Helping Hand, Baton Pass, Baby-Doll Eyes, Swift, Follow Me (GM approved)
(egg moves from Skitty)
EXP: 3

Battle Log:

• Celadon City invasion (multi-battle, event) (2)
• aiding Pelleas vs. Gerald (1)

Species: Dedenne
Nickname: Didi
Gender: Female
Trainer: Alex Zyther
Appearance: An ordinary Dedenne with much brighter cheeks than normal. Didi maintains a bit of a glow from this, even in the dark.
Personality: A bit of a cuddler, Didi sometimes forgets she's electrically charged. Originally belonging to Alex's adoptive mother, she gave Didi to Alex to make sure she's protected and safe, and she takes that role very seriously.
Ability: Pickup
Specialty: Didi glows in dark places, providing light and, if sufficiently agitated, growing bright enough to temporarily blind opponents. Her high-pitched squeals and glowing, however, make her difficult to conceal--even her Pokeball glows while she is inside it.
Known Moves: Charm, Nuzzle, volt Switch, Parabolic Charge, Helping Hand (egg move), Dazzling Gleam (GM approved)
EXP: 2

Battle Log:

• vs. Skyle and Windy's Rotom (multi-battle) (2)

Species: Ralts
Nickname: Raleigh
Gender: Male
Trainer: Alex Zyther
Appearance: As a Pokémon that has presented himself to Amelia Zann, Raleigh is Shiny; in addition, however, the red spike on his chest from his later evolutions seems to have manifested early, though instead of a spike it is mostly flattened and bears a resemblance to a bow tie.
Personality: Proud and poised, Raleigh is every bit the distinguished gentleman any Kalosian noble could ask for--but sadly as a male Ralts, most Kalosian nobles seemed to seek more physically proficient partners and planned to procure a future Gallade, and even the residents of Hoenn preferred power over poise. Raleigh longs for a Trainer who will appreciate him for his own strengths, on his own terms.
Ability: Trace
Specialty: Raleigh is a skilled singer (at least in the language of Pokémon), and this shows in the strength and speed of his sound-based moves. However, as a gentleman, Raleigh refuses to use physical attacks, and as a result he is unable to use them (though Psyshock is theoretically fine).
Known Moves: Teleport, Magical Leaf, Heal Pulse, Synchronoise (egg move), Skill Swap (egg move), Disarming Voice
EXP: 5

Battle Log:

• vs. wild Murkrow/Sina/Harvey (multi-battle, flashback, caught) (2)
• with Coralie vs. Alex the Green in Magicverse (multi-battle) (3)

Species: Diancie
Nickname: Coralie
Gender: Female
Trainer: Alex Zyther
Appearance: As an immature juvenile, she currently appears to be an unusually tall Carbink with pink crystals and red eyes, and a single small ponytail-like crystal just starting to emerge from the back of her head.
Personality: Just as shy and Naive as Alex, Diancie was first drawn to the Trainer by their similarities. Despite this, however, she possesses a hidden steel to her core, as despite her physical insecurity she is willing to leave her own kingdom to try and carry on its legacy.
Ability: Clear Body
Specialty: Due to her juvenile state, Diancie's attacks are all weak and unpolished and fail to make full use of her inner strength; however, despite this there is clear power to her potential, and she will likely benefit greatly by learning from her current struggles.
Known Moves: Moonblast (imperfect), Diamond Storm (feeble), Stealth Rock, Trick Room, Light Screen, Reflect
EXP: 3
