fml this is all indirectly Styx's fault, and also indirectly Jisu and Andy's fault.

the POKÉMON meme

( i'm gonna be the greatest master of them all )

☉ so. we have memes about "what kind of Pokemon are you?", but this one is a little different.
☉ tell us (and discuss with others!) what your characters would be like if they lived in a Pokemon world. what types do they train? what do they specialise in?
☉ not everyone is your average trainer! there are Gym Leaders, Elite members, contest coordinators, etc. and even just those average people who don't care for Pokemon - or are absolutely terrified of them.
☉ there are lots of other interesting facts you could share! maybe they travel with someone else, or maybe there's an interesting bit of history you want to inculde? whatever you'd like! feel free to comment around and create some sort of... huge group of trainers that travel together. or find yourself a rival!
☉ ladies, don't show Kaito your panties.

annnd notes on how he acquired his pokemon:

[eschatologist.livejournal.com]

His Gardevoir actually started out as a Ralts. When he was still in Team Rocket's facility, he was given this one in particular to test out his psychokinetic abilities and otherwise potential. His Ralts was orphaned like he was - but how or why is kind of up in the air like Kaworu. In either case, as Kaworu was not allowed to interact with more than very select people (see one or two at most), his Ralts became his only friend for a great number of years. Because of the experimentation, Kaworu was very sickly as a child and that added to their reluctance to let him out. It was only on his fifteenth birthday that he was permitted to leave - and by then his Ralts had evolved into a Gardevoir. They made a formidable team, and they were very satisfied with their progress. His Gardevoir is subsequently very protective of her trainer, and most of the time he seems to have to reassure her before anyone can get close to him. She seemed to be a little jealous of the two he travels with. At least, initially. She's warmed up to them by now. With some reluctance. :|;

Once he was out of the facility and running with Team Rocket, it didn't take him long to lead a faction of it. Seventeen of them in all, they became known as the "Messengers" as they often brought with them the direct word of Giovanni. Kaworu was the infamous 17th, and normally those who faced them never got past the 11th. However, during this time, when they were resting in Lavender Town, one of the grunts keeping guard woke him up after running back to the group. Scared witless, he reported that there was some kind of apparition haunting the town's tower, and it wouldn't let him get anywhere near it. Kaworu, being the lead, told him he would investigate. What he ended up encountering was his Ninetails - due to his empathy and his understanding of Pokemon, he understood why it was she was guarding the base of the tower. It turned out that quite some time ago, her family was taken from this spot and she was endlessly waiting for them to return. Kaworu had to gently explain to her that they were not coming back, and he had no intentions of harming her - but, what fondness and attachments she had were nothing to be replaced. Angered, she actually attempted to lay a curse on him - but his Gardevoir intervened. Unfortunately, she could not be soothed and for it, a battle ensued. After she was defeated, Kaworu offered to tend to her wounds. However, her pride damaged, she insisted she actually be left alone. It seemed his Gardevoir got through to her, however - and she finally permitted herself to be treated. After that, she left. It wasn't until two nights later that she appeared again, and told him that she would be joining him. And that is how Kaworu got a hold of a shiny Ninetails.

In his fourth month of leading this little faction, there were whispered among the group that threatened to turn Kaworu out. There were rumors that he went too gently on those they terrorized - so much so that he actually let a child and her rare pokemon get away instead of taking it from her. Naturally, he was interrogated. Kaworu, being known then as strictly "Tabris", told them that their mission was his own, but it didn't seem to convince them. This argument continued for a great number of days, particularly when they were resting by the Lake of Rage - until one morning the arguments stopped. Suspicious of the sudden resolution they seemed to reach, Kaworu waited along the shore as that is where they had all come back from. There, he found a Milotic a good ways out. Understanding why it was there, Kaworu told it it need not have assisted him. However, the Milotic seemed to see through the coldness that had stolen over him and it became clear that it desired to battle him. To prove that he could it's trainer. Kaworu agreed - and in his winning of the match, he acquired his Milotic. :>

annnd it keeps going :>;

In the sixth month of leading the group, they had made quite a name for themselves. Across a number of districts, there were calls to take them down and bring them to justice. Unfortunately, no one seemed to be able to cause them much trouble - outside a faction called "Eva", though their origins and their organizers were unknown. It was in this month they actually lost three of their members - two to unknown circumstances and one to a shameful defeat by the hands of "Eva." Some concerned for their own safety started to train harder - but Kaworu seemed to expect this. And he did. He had heard whispers as a child that there was a faction being built up. He would be destined to one day bump into the boy whose father ran it, as their ideals clashed. Even so, it was in this same unfortunate month that he ran into his Absol. However, instead of a natural disaster occurring, it seemed to warn him of what was to come. Understanding the omen, as it was injured when he happened upon it, he took it into his care.

What was to follow was the systematic picking off of his faction. By the tenth month, it was only himself, Armisael, and Arael that remained. In this month, Kaworu's sleep became disrupted. Under strain of their worry, though he never displayed it in his waking hours, it was with a kind of mercy that a Swablu decided to sing to him in one of the forests that they were traveling through. Grateful, he offered it food and hummed for it music - and it ended up that this little fellow was actually kicked from the nest quite early. Hoping he would supply it sustenance, the Swablu was not mistaken. And so, that is how he got a hold of his Swablu.

In the eleventh month, one night, both Armisael and Arael were picked off in a very dangerous battle. While they took out two from the opposing faction - it left one to be contended with. Alone, Kaworu waited for the last one to appear. However, what he did not know was that Armisael and Arael had called for back-up.

... and I'll write more later. :>
