Kyle Eston

[Parugi]

Username: Parugi
Name: Kyle Eston
Faction: Team Liberty
Hometown: Fuchsia City, Kanto
Age: 18 (b. December 18th, 1998)

Appearance: A young trainer, Kyle has shortish, wavy, dark brown hair and slightly oval-like, blue-gray eyes. Kyle has a small scar on his upper right lip, from a cut he received as a child. He is very slightly tanned. He is of rather average build. His outfit is fairly simple, consisting of blue jeans, a black belt and shoes, and a gray shirt covered by a black, hoodless jacket. He uses a black bag to carry around his supplies while on missions, and his Pokéballs always line his belt.

Personality: To put it simply, Kyle Eston has developed a very roller-coaster personality and sense of life. Various events over the course of the last year and a half have served to shatter his self-confidence and former bookish idealism, only to force him to rebuild that sense of self-worth in a way entirely different from what it originally was. While he maintains a deep-rooted faith in his allies, Kyle constantly battles with his own failures and mishaps in battle, often resulting in more mistakes that would otherwise have been made. Thanks to the lapse in action, however, he has had time to consider himself, and has begun to reinforce his own self-belief, maintaining his generally friendly, though rather blunt, and intelligent attitude in the process. However, in the back of his mind, he continues to fear the possible consequences of future failures, and as a result, continues to plan ahead for whatever obstacles may be thrown his way.

Background: Kyle was born in Fuchsia City to Kimi and Richard "Richie" Eston, right after Team Rocket's takeover. From an early age, his father taught him the workings of Pokémon training and battling, while his mother dealt with the standard school subjects, like math and history. He excelled at both regular school and Pokémon training, managing to catch a Spearow at the age of six, which was later released. As he continued to train, his father was contacted by a group of refugees, who planned to start an organized rebellion against Team Rocket. Despite having doubts about it, Richie accepted, and his family prepared to leave Fuchsia within the week. Word of their plans leaked to the Rockets, and the Estons soon found themselves under attack. They managed to escape, though not without serious injury to Kimberly, who went into a coma shortly after the three were picked up by Team Liberty. Now branded as traitors, Richie became an official Agent of Team Liberty, and Kyle was put into training, where he received his Sandshrew and, later, his Magnemite, eventually becoming a field Agent for Team Liberty. More recently, Kyle has been involved in many of the war's larger battles, such as the Battle of Four Island, the various incidents in Unova, and the battle against the Ancient Darkrai. For a while, he was trapped in a deep depression as a result of several handicapping injuries that he sustained in his missions, as well as the deaths of both his mother and an Alternate Dimension Suicune that he had befriended, though managed to (mostly) cure this upon being confronted by a shadowy manifestation of said depression--a boy by the name of Keston Ail. Since then, he has assisted in repairs of the various regions, and has worked on bettering his mental health.

[Parugi]

Species: Magnezone.
Nickname: Main Body/Consciousness: Kitheus. Left Node: Io. Right Node: Del.
Trainer: Kyle Eston.
Appearance: Kitheus is more or less a standard Magnezone. However, his 'shoulder' eyes are green and blue for the left and right shoulders, respectively.
Personality: As a result of achieving his final form, Kitheus has regained full control of his instincts and mind, creating a being of absolute calm. Extremely intelligent, analytic, and certain of his own self, Kitheus nevertheless remains a loyal and selfless companion, always seeking to do what he can to help others in need. His capacity to integrate and connect with machinery has improved immensely with his new body.
Ability: Analytic.
Specialty: Kitheus's main specialties lie in special attacks and in inflicting status conditions, although his defenses have also greatly increased as a result of his second evolution.
Known Moves: Flash Cannon, Supersonic, Zap Cannon, Lock-On, Tri-Attack, Magnet Rise.
EXP: 32

Mega Appearance: The eyes of Kitheus's smaller nodes match his main body, albeit different colors--the left-hand node's eye is electric green, the right electric blue.
Mega Ability: Levitate
Mega Specialty: In addition to boosting his attack and defenses, Kitheus is able to fire off one full-powered attack and two additional, half-power attacks from his nodes.

Species: Sandslash.
Nickname: Daiga.
Trainer: Kyle Eston.
Appearance: Daiga is essentially the same as any other Sandslash. However, his eyes are brown as opposed to black, and his spines are a darker shade of brown than those of the average Sandslash.
Personality: Little has changed sine his evolution; Daiga is still a very jolly Pokémon, never letting his spirits drop. Though he now possesses more power than he did as a Sandshrew, Daiga still is not terribly fond of battling, though he will still do whatever he is ordered if he is needed. His appetite has grown exponentially since he evolved, which is saying something considering how much he ate as a Sandshrew. Daiga tends to act as a mediator on Kyle's team, breaking up fights between his other Pokémon. He gets on well with Ruji, due to the Gligar's Ground-Typing, as well as the fact that it was through a battle with him that Daiga finally managed to evolve.
Ability: Sand Throw.
Specialty: Daiga's specialty still lies in hit and run attacks, striking at his opponent before burrowing underground and catching them off guard before repeating the cycle. This has been made all the easier since his evolution, as he has gained an increase in speed. Daiga is also very good at improvising attacks, something he was good at even as a Sandshrew.
Known Moves: Scratch, Defense Curl, Sandstorm, Rapid Spin, Swift, Dig.
EXP: 22

[Parugi]

Species: Charizard.
Nickname: Jaeda.
Trainer: Kyle Eston.
Appearance: Unlike a regular Charizard, Jaeda has two dark rings around each of her wrists; she is able to create fire around her wrists through these, similar to a Blaziken.
Personality: An incredibly brave Pokémon, Jaeda refuses to back down from almost any challenge since her evolution, though she has learned what her limits are as a fighter. A loyal and intelligent member of Kyle's team, she will not abandon an ally in a fight, and knows how to come up with n-the-spot tactics during battle.
Ability: Blaze.
Specialty: Jaeda has mastered both physical and special attacks at this point, as well as learned how to better use her body for faster attacks. As a result, she has become less skilled with and abandoned many of her diversion tactics, considering herself powerful enough to deal with most problems head-on.
Known Moves: Dragon Claw, Flamethrower, Smokescreen, Tailwind, Metal Claw (Egg Move,) Inferno.
EXP: 33


Mega Appearance: The red rings around Jaeda's wrists have snaked down her arms and back, allowing her to ignite flames along any of these newly-developed red lines.
Mega Ability: Drought
Mega Specialty: Jaeda's Mega Evolution has greatly empowered her Special Fire-Type moves, allowing them to match or subvert Fire-Type resistances against weak enough opponents.

[Parugi]

Species: Gliscor.
Nickname: Ruj.
Trainer: Kyle Eston.
Appearance: Ruj looks like a standard Gliscor.
Personality: Ruj is a very careful Pokémon; despite his speed, he hesitates to rush into anything and prefers to stop and analyze his opponent before attacking. This is not to say that he does not consider himself powerful -- quite the contrary: Ruj simply realizes that there are others with more power and ability than he, and opts to make sure that he can defeat an opponent before rushing in and discovering the opposite. Having come from a pack, he does not feel out of place on Kyle's team, and in fact sees them as a closer family than even his past one--particularly Daiga, due to both being Ground-Type.
Ability: Sand Veil.
Specialty: Ruj is incredibly fast, and this coupled with his attack capabilities makes for one deadly combination. He does not rush into things, though, assessing the situation before attacking his opponents, allowing him to stay out of traps set by his opponents.
Known Moves: Guillotine, Swords Dance, Poison Jab, Sand-Attack, Sky Uppercut, Night Slash (Egg Move.)
EXP: 24

[Parugi]

Species: Haxorus.
Nickname: Lyxek.
Trainer: Kyle Eston.
Appearance: Lyxek's evolution has transformed his color palette, rendering his armor black.
Personality: Lyxek has matured into a very brave Pokémon since he was born. He is no longer as big of a pest as he was before, though continues to be fascinated by new discoveries. As he has gotten older, however, he has also developed a growing taste for battle, resulting in his increasing attempts to hone his skills and abilities.
Ability: Mold Breaker.
Specialty: Though not the fastest around, Lyxek retains his skills with physical attacks and defense, at the cost of his effectiveness with special abilities.
Known Moves: Dragon Claw, Giga Impact, Iron Tail, Reversal (Egg Move,) Endure (Egg Move,) Dragon Dance.
EXP: 24

[Parugi]

Species: Hisuian Samurott/Samurark
Nickname: Kovian
Trainer: Kyle Eston
Appearance: Kovian's armor is white as opposed to yellowish; in addition, his blades are longer and thinner, closer in shape to European short swords.
Personality: Kovian remains a quiet, reserved, and adamant personality on Kyle's team. He has steeled his mind against second thoughts, resolving to do whatever is necessary to protect his team and his trainer, a stance only made stronger by the terrible tragedy that brought about his final evolution. He typically keeps to himself, and often practices his swordsmanship when he is not in combat.
Ability: Torrent
Specialty: Kovian's specialty remains focused on physical combat. He has all but abandoned any attempt at utilizing special attacks, instead perfecting his abilities with the blade. He remains as fast as ever despite his larger size, and has learned to use that speed to great effect even against opponents mightier than he.
Known Moves: Razor Shell, Focus Energy, Aqua Jet, Megahorn, Slash, Swords Dance.
EXP: 19

[Parugi]

Species: Mienshao.
Nickname: Sanshou.
Trainer: Kyle Eston.
Appearance: Sanshou looks like a regular Mienshao.
Personality: An incredibly serious Pokemon. Sanshou spends much of her time meditating and observing, silently focusing on whatever it is that she is focusing on. She is a quiet, thoughtful, and loyal Mienfoo who will do whatever it takes to get her job done. As of her evolution, she has become extremely resolute and stoic, only showing her softer side to her trainer and long-time teammates.
Ability: Regenerator.
Specialty: Sanshou is extremely quick, specializing in speed, dodging and physical attacks, all of which have become significantly more pronounced skills as of her evolution. Her ability to take hits has increased, though she continues to prefer a minimum of direct damage in combat.
Known Moves: Detect, Swift, Drain Punch, U-Turn, Meditate, Bounce.
EXP: 12

[Parugi]

Species: Aron.
Nickname: Rodax.
Trainer: Kyle Eston.
Appearance: Yellow eyes as opposed to blue.
Personality: Rodax is quite headstrong and, frankly, sassy. He has difficulty getting along with others and listening to orders, though appears to slowly be coming around now that he has an owner. Despite his attitude, Rodax maintains a sense of duty, and will help those he sees in need--whether they need it or not.
Ability: Rock Head.
Specialty: Rodax specializes in Defensive abilities, both physical and special. While his speed and special attack are not the greatest, he is able to make do with physical attacks.

EXP: 6

[Parugi]

Species: Spritzee.
Nickname: Taia.
Trainer: Kyle Eston.
Appearance: Taia looks like a fairly standard Spritzee.
Personality: As befitting her role as a healer, Taia is a very gentle soul. While still young, she is nonetheless a motherly figure to both her new trainer and to her fellow teammates, and acts in whatever ways she can to keep them well--sometimes to stifling levels.
Ability: Healer.
Specialty: Taia specializes in support moves, with a slight emphasis on defense over offense.
Known Moves: Aromatherapy, Misty Terrain, Sweet Scent, Sweet Kiss.
EXP: 5

[Parugi]

Species: Houndour.
Nickname: Torith.
Trainer: Kyle Eston.
Appearance: The fur on Torith's paws match the color of his belly.
Personality: Torith has a lot of maturing to do, and as a result is rather rash. He has a hard time following orders due to the fact that he is still learning how to battle.
Ability: Flash Fire.
Specialty: Torith is adept at both kinds of attacks, as opposed to purely Special Attacks. He is not very sure on his feet due to being a newborn.
Known Moves: Ember, Howl, Bite, Odor Sleuth, Nasty Plot (EM).
EXP: 3

[Parugi]

Species: Onix.
Nickname: Vailian.
Trainer: Kyle Eston.
Appearance: The main difference between Vailian and other Onix is that Vailian's horn is serrated, as opposed to being a flat and straight blade.
Personality: Vailian is a very relaxed Pokémon. Even in the midst of a crisis, he does not lose his cool, typically trusting his defenses and allies to see through any trouble. While not the brightest in terms of acting on his own, Vailian will carry out any order given to him without fail.
Ability: Sturdy.
Specialty: Vailian boasts impressive defensive capabilities, which are only further augmented by his various stat-raising moves. Attacking is not his specialty so much as catching opponents off-guard.
Known Moves: Curse, Rock Polish, Sandstorm, Dig, Rock Slide, Heavy Slam (EM).
EXP: 3

[Parugi]

Species: Bergmite.
Nickname: Braig.
Trainer: Kyle Eston.
Appearance: Braig's white body is covered in many blue spots..
Personality: An incredibly shy and quiet Pokémon. Braig is wary of outsiders ever since he was split from his pack by the Signs activity in their territory. Though he escaped capture, and therefore abuse, he is not the best suited to solitary endeavors; as such, it is something of a surprise that he has managed to survive on his own for the past several weeks.
Ability: Ice Body
Specialty: Braig's main strengths lie in his defenses. Unlike other Bergmite/Avalugg, he is equally resilient with both Special and Physical defense.
Known Moves: Tackle, Harden, Rapid Spin, Powder Snow, Bite, Mirror Coat (EM)
EXP: 0

[Parugi]

Species: Suicune.
Nickname: N/A.
Trainer: Kyle Eston.
Appearance: As a result of her extradimensional origins, Suicune was, at one point, "Shiny"; however, her time in the main dimension--as well as her rebirth--has caused her to become the same color as a regular Suicune.
Personality: Suicune is an extremely kind, gentle, and motherly Pokémon, even in spite of her rebirth following the events in Castelia--she has retained much of her original personality, though she no longer bears the memories of her past life. She easily develops close bonds with those around her, and has proven adept at helping people get through their emotional problems. Threaten those she adopts as her own, however, and she quickly becomes horrifically protective and dangerous.
Ability: Water Absorb.
Specialty: Special attacks and special defense.
Known Moves: Calm Mind, Rain Dance, Ice Beam (TM,) Hydro Pump, Extrasensory, Protect (TM.)
EXP: 20
