Ellen Burks

[Konuju]

Name: Ellen Burks

Faction: Neutral

Hometown: Village Bridge, Unova

Age: 10
Appearance: Light auburn hair, brown eyes, somewhat small for her age; she wears a light-pink shirt and Capri pants.

Personality: Kindhearted and lighthearted, she is the epitome of a childlike innocence. However, because of this she is very naive, although she is also curious. Having grown up with her Pokémon, she is extremely close to them. Although she cannot exactly speak to Pokémon, it is not hard for her to understand them, even when she has had very little bonding with them.

Background: Having lived in Village Bridge for all her life, she has seen very little of the world outside it. She recently went on a vacation to visit her aunt and uncle in Accumula Town, though her parents had to stay behind in Village Bridge because of their work. Being outside of her hometown for the first time (with the exception of a few trips to Lacunosa Town), she became highly curious of the world outside of Village Bridge. As her vacation drew to a close, she tried to convince her parents to let her walk home, so that she could see more of the world. Her parents eventually agreed, on the condition that Terry, their family pet Herdier, accompany her to protect her on her journey.

Pokémon: Duosion (Duo), Mienshao (Artemis), Purrloin (Chrono), Grotle (Maturin), Oddish (Isabella), Flabébé (Fiora)

[Konuju]

Species: Solosis Duosion Reuniclus (male)

Nickname: Solo Duo Symbio

Trainer: Ellen Burks

Appearance: (Solosis) Slightly smaller than the average (1’0”) Solosis. (Duosion) Slightly smaller than the average (2’0”) Duosion. (Reuniclus) Slightly smaller than the average (3'03") Reuniclus.
Personality: (Solosis) Solo was Ellen’s first Pokemon, who she has had for as long as she can remember. Having grown up together, Ellen and Solo are very close friends. Although he uses telepathy to communicate, he usually only communicates with Ellen. Solo is very modest and although he is powerful, he prefers not to fight. (Duosion) As a Solosis, he often used his telepathy to communicate with Ellen, trying to be a voice of reason. With his evolution, Duo’s brain has now split in two. Consequently, he is a lot more indecisive about things. Often he can see both sides of a situation, which is both a blessing and a curse. Whereas before he had a modest nature, now he is more quirky. (Reuniclus) The two brains he had as a Duosion have now merged into one, giving Symbio better clarity of the world around him. He and Ellen work together to solve their problems, both knowing that no one alone has all the answers. Where he was once a modest Solosis and a quirky Duosion, as a Reuniclus Symbio now boldly faces the challenges before him with the knowledge that Ellen will always be at his side.

Ability: Magic Guard

Specialty: Although it is strong with Special Attacks, it tends not to use them often; it also has strong Special Defense

Known Moves: Reflect Wonder Room Pain Split, Light Screen Signal Beam (move tutor), Recover, Rollout Dizzy Punch, Psyshock, Telekinesis (TM “egg move”)

[Konuju]

Species: Mienfoo Mienshao (female)

Nickname: Artemis

Trainer: Ellen Burks

Appearance: Same as a normal Mienfoo The yellow on the tips of her whiskers are the same shade of yellow that they were when she was a Mienfoo. Also, her eyebrows are a bit less prominent than usual for a Mienshao.

Personality: (Mienfoo) Ellen received Artemis for her seventh birthday. Although she is a Martial Arts Pokemon, Artemis tends to not use her skills for combat, but is rather focused on mastering the more elegant and graceful, almost dance-like moves. She has a more serious nature compared to Ellen’s other Pokemon and is very dedicated to training herself. She is also a little more willing to fight in a time of need than Solo is. (Mienshao) Artemis retains her serious nature. Although she is a bit quicker to fight than she was as a Mienfoo, she still prefers to do so with grace and elegance, turning her battles into more of a dance.

Ability: Inner Focus

Specialty: Quick footed and agile, she has great Speed, but is a little lacking in Defense

Known Moves: Pound Jump Kick, Meditate, Detect Drain Punch, Swift, Calm Mind, Force Palm Aura Sphere

Number of Battles: 27 (Swinub, Swoobat, Bisharp, Swinub, Seven (x2), Reward Evolution (+1 EXP), Seviper, Mt. Pyre Ghosts, “Groudon” (x2), Scar, Alley Storm (x2), Harbor Storm (x2), Opelucid Warehouse (x2), Giant Chasm 1 (x2), Giant Chasm 2 (x2), Burks House (x2), OAT (x3))

[Konuju]

Species: Purrloin (male)

Nickname: Chrono

Trainer: Ellen Burks

Appearance: The white patches of fur on his body are slightly darker than normal

Personality: Not much is known about Chrono’s past, except that he grew up on the streets of Accumula Town, where he quickly learned to forage for food. In addition to stealing food, he will also play pranks on people for fun. He is very bitter toward and distrusting of all humans, although the fact that he doesn’t try to run away from Ellen suggests that he trusts her more than usual. Despite his capture, Chrono continues to have a naughty nature. However, Ellen is convinced that there is some good in him. Ellen’s other Pokemon, Terry in particular, are still wary of the Purrloin.

Ability: Limber

Specialty: He has great speed, which comes from all the getaways he’s made after his thefts

Known Moves: Scratch, Pursuit, Fake Out, Hone Claws, Slash, Charm (egg move)

Number of Battles: 18 (“Black,” Seven (x2), Seviper, Mt. Pyre Ghosts, “Groudon” (x2), Harbor Storm (x2), Opelucid Warehouse (x2), Giant Chasm 1 (x2), Giant Chasm 2 (x2), OAT (x3))

[Konuju]

Species: Turtwig Grotle (male)

Nickname: Maturin

Trainer: OT Evan Tierra

Appearance: (Turtwig) Leaf on his head looks a little more ragged (Grotle) The leaves of the bushes on his back look a little more ragged.

Personality: (Turtwig) Careful and unyielding, Maturin is a force to be reckoned with when angered. But he also tends to be a bit playful when the battle isn't raging. (Grotle) At one time a newcomer, Maturin has easily been accepted into Ellen’s team. He remains careful and unyielding, although he is not quite as playful as he was as a Turtwig. Instead he spends time deep in thought, pondering over the tough questions that have recently plagued Ellen. True to the song Ellen once sang, “his thought is slow but always kind.”

Ability: Overgrow

Specialty: Counterattacking

Known Moves: Seed Bomb (Egg Move), Razor Leaf Leaf Blade (GM Approved), Crunch, Withdraw, Curse, Tackle

Number of Battles: 18 (Seven (x2), Mt. Pyre Ghosts, “Groudon” (x2), Scar, Bisharp, Harbor Storm (x2), Opelucid Warehouse (x2), Giant Chasm 2 (x2), Burks House (x2), OAT (x3))

[Konuju]

Species: Oddish (female)

Nickname: Isabella

Trainer: Ellen Burks

Appearance: (Oddish) Same as a normal Oddish (Gloom) She doesn’t drool as much as most Gloom

Personality: (Oddish) Deep down, Isabella is truly eager to help, but she tends to be clumsy and can often find herself doing more harm than good. She is self-conscious of this trait, and has thus developed a bashful nature. (Gloom) Isabella retains the bashful nature she had as an Oddish, having become more self-conscious of her clumsiness. She seems to be more aware of her clumsiness and would rather hide out of sight than risk messing up. Her self-consciousness extends to her trying not to drool as much as most Gloom do.

Ability: Chlorophyll

Specialty: She can be very fast, especially when her ability Chlorophyll kicks in. Perhaps she is almost too fast, which may be the cause of her clumsiness. Her speed can also be a problem when she uses Ingrain, as the move roots her to the ground.

Known Moves: Absorb, Sweet Scent, PoisonPowder, Sleep Powder, Lucky Chant, Ingrain (egg move), Acid, Mega Drain, Moonlight

Number of Battles: 15 (Opelucid Warehouse (x2), Giant Chasm 2 (x2), Burks House (x2), OAT (x3), Shadow Suits (x4), Tapu Fini (x2))

[Konuju]

Species: Flabébé (female)

Nickname: Fiora

Trainer: Ellen Burks

Appearance: Unlike most Flabébé, Fiora does not carry a flower with her. Her lack of a botanical emblem makes her appear uncharacteristically miniscule, although she is in reality of average size for her species.

Personality: Fiora lost her flower when poachers captured her in Kalos. Separated from the very plant she had dedicated her life to caring for, stripped of her very purpose for being, Fiora has become very quiet and withdrawn. She desperately yearns to find her flower again, although she is faced with the very real possibility that without her protection the flower has long since wilted away. She will carefully examine any flower she comes across, either in hopes that it is the one she lost or that it will make a suitable replacement. Sadly, none of her findings ever come close to replicating the deep bond she had with her original flower.

Ability: Flower Veil

Specialty: Flabébé get their powers from the flower they wield. Because Fiora lost her flower, she is rendered mostly powerless and can only use Tackle. If she finds a flower in battle she can use it to gain access to her other abilities, but they are weaker than normal because she lacks a bond with the flower. After battle she will discard the flower because it cannot replace the one she lost.

Known Moves: Tackle, (Lucky Chant, Misty Terrain, Grassy Terrain, Fairy Wind, Magical Leaf)

Number of Battles: 9 (Opelucid Warehouse (x2), Giant Chasm 2 (x2), Burks House (x2), OAT (x3))
