Jericho Corey

Professional trainer from Hoenn region.

age: 17

gender: male

Appearance: (see character page for physical appearance) He wears a white shirt, grey jeans and a long navy blue jacket. You can also recognize him by his signature aviator sunglasses which he often wears in official battles.

personality: Jericho is an enthusiastic pokemon trainer dedicated to his team and striving to improve his pokemon and himself. However he is not very tolerant of weakness, very strict in his selection of pokemon and quick to dismiss trainers with pokemon not fully evolved despite having the experience or of species not having a lot of power (like most bug pokemon) many people think because of this that he is a harsh trainer and they would be right but he is also training just as hard as his pokemon and has painstakingly gained the trust of his pokemon and earned the respect of several skilled trainers he has encountered over the years because of his dedication.

Background: Jericho Corey was born in Mossdeep City and had a normal childhood. His family moved to Mauville city when he was five and although he was sad that he left his friends behind he quickly made new ones in his new home town. Jericho started with his trainer career when he was 10 and had help from his family as many in his family were trainers themselves. jericho spent long days training with his pokemon and challenging gyms in the process, at the age of 15 he had a strong marshtomp, a Numel, a Kirlia, a makuhita and a magnemite and 4 badges of the Hoenn region with only the Petalburg city, Fortree city, Mossdeep city and Sootopolis city gyms remaining. However before challenging those gyms Leo decided to train in the Kanto region where his uncle lived in Fuchsia city to find new pokemon and he decided he liked it there. now he has been in the Kanto region for two years already and he captured a particulary persistent Zubat he had at first dismissed as another weak pokemon.

In the Kanto region Jericho has managed to challenge Lt. Surge of Vermilion city and he had rode out to Celadon city over the cycling bridge to train in the Celadon gym in preperation to challenge Erika when it all started. Jericho had lended his Numel and makuhita to his uncle back in Fuschia to help on the ranch at the time so he didn't even have his whole team on hand when it all began.

(author's note, this background has been adapted from a pokemon OC i made before, and intended to have level 30 pokemon by age 17 as a dedicated trainer. due to the rules of the current game i lowered the levels of the team but the journey remains the same, some pokemon will not be available to jericho for the same reason)

Perception: ** [12] he has learned to observe in battle and seek oppertunities

first aid: ** [15] growing up with a Joy as your best friend and neighbour tends to help when it comes to learning first aid.

Smalltalk: deficit [14] he can only really talk about pokemon and batteling. prepare for awkward silences

Electrical knowledge: deficit [13] he'd likely just let Laxus try to zap it to see if that helps, otherwise he is useless with electronics

stealth:* [13] Jericho is subtle enough to know not to charge in a room blindly looking for a fight, especially now.

Team:

On hand:

Iskander, marshtomp (Torrent) [ice punch, waterfall, mudshot, protect]

Jericho's starter and one of his stronger pokemon. Iskander is a tough pokemon who shares his trainer's willpower and drive. Jericho typically leads with Iskander in battle.

Jade, kirlia (trace) [Confusion, Magical leaf, Teleport, Misty terrain] [15]

The first pokemon Jericho caught as a trainer. Jade is a female kirlia who has traveled with Jericho for years now and has grown very protective of him. she has managed to become a valuable prt of Jericho's team in a supporting role

Laxus, Magnemite (Analytical) [Shockwave, magnetbomb, sonicboom, thunderwave] [16]

A surprisingly fierce pokemon that managed to hold its own against the ground typed Iskander when jericho had tried to capture it. Very violent and coldly calculating in it's attacks, if it has a chance to observe its target Laxus can figure out how to hit it where it hurts

Terry, Zubat (infiltrator) [confuse ray, wing attack, bite, leech life] [17]

Terry is the first pokemon Leo caught during his stay in the Kanto region. Although it was far weaker than Jericho's pokemon, the zubat kept trying to attack for several days and Leo, who otherwise would have dismissed it as a weak pokemon, saw the potential of the feisty little bat and decided to catch and train it.

Out of reach (left in fuschia with his uncle but still officially his pokemon):

Nell, Numel (solid rock) [magnitude, flame burst, focus energy, yawn]

the second pokemon Jericho caught, a stubborn mule of a numel who prefers to pulverize everything with magnitude despite the colateral damage

Henry, Makuhita (thick fat) [arm thrust, knock off, fake out, focus energy]

Caught on dewfort island early in Jericho's trainer carreer, a very friendly and helpful pokemon who is eager to put its strength to the test.

(Author's note: these two pokemon are not in the RP setting but are part of jericho's background, you can't expect a trainer to go for 7 years without getting at least 6 pokemon)
