Name: Jessica Coulson
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Hometown: Nimbasa City, Unova
Affiliation: Mewtwo
Personality: Withdrawn and observant, but VERY blunt when she speaks, which hasn't won her many friends beyond her pokemon. She has an 'off' air about her, uses odd pokemon, and is generally considered 'strange'. She's protective of those few who get to know her.
Appearance: Short brown hair, dark violet eyes, pale, bags under eyes, on the lanky side, average figure; a long black coat over a dark red blouse and khaki shirt, striped orange-and-black socks with the occasional hole, faded and worn 'brown' boots, long white scarf with various stains and discoloration, well-worn orange/yellow satchel; overall look is haphazard, with the clothing likely gathered from thrift stores, save for her coat
History:
Jessica was born the only child of a poor couple in Nimbasa City, who focused more on finances and work than the little girl. To pass the time, she took to wandering the city, and eventually the desert south of town. Others were at first worried for her, but as time went on her odd behavior and exploration were ignored. She kept herself safe and returned home each night, so her parents never questioned her absence, either.
Her scarf was given to her by her mother after the latter heard of her daughter's desert visits, and protected the little girl from the sand whipping about. On one of these desert treks is where she met a little Yamask, crying and scared behind a rock. Jess heard the sound and went over, finding the Pokemon and gradually befriending it. After a couple of weeks of the pair meeting and playing in the sands, occasionally making it all the way to the ruins before turning back, the Yamask followed her home and gained the nickname Yami.
Once she turned 10, two years after Yami joined the household, she decided to do as so many other children before her had done and explore the region as an official Pokemon Trainer. Her parents initially were wary of her journey, but relented, using whatever meager funds they could spare to get her supplies, including a Pokeball for Yami and the oversized hand-me-down bag that she still carries.
During her journey, she caught many other Pokemon, and found a connection with those that other trainers found 'weird' or 'dangerous'. She battled gyms, gained badges, and could've very well challenged the Elite Four if she ever wanted to. However, she found that competition wasn't really her calling, and took to wandering with her companions instead, growing stronger and eventually venturing out from Unova into other regions. She gathered historical tomes, learned of mythology and religion in different regions, explored ruins and artifacts, and eventually decided to make her hobby official by attending a Kanto university and getting a certification as a Professor, specializing in ancient civilizations, artifacts, and fossils. She gave one lecture the day before the 'incident', rather ironically focusing on the mythos of the world and possible connections between those legendary pokemon. Given her academic past and thirst for knowledge, her choice was clear, and she became a disciple of Mewtwo; one of the only man-made Legendary pokemon, whom she had actually read about during her stay in Kanto.
Since that fateful night, she's been practicing her abilities in secret, and has begun to research ancient technology, in particular the Golett/Golurk power source and the now-infamous ancient Kalos technology, believing in a link between the two. She often travels between the two regions, undergoing the long and arduous process of gaining permits and research teams in order to continue her work.
Current Pokemon:
50-60 Pokemon: Cosexyrigus(f)(Yami)(64), Golurk(Goro)(61), Archeops(m)(Plume)(51), Galvantula(m)(Ray)(62), Simisear(m)(Rogue)(58), Lilligant(f)(Lily)(60)
~Was the team used in her trainer days to gain her badges; after restoring and training Archeops, she chose to pursue academics over battling fame
~Always keeps 2-3 on hand; Yami always, usually Goro if she's doing research, and/or one of the others depending on her mood or location

~Caught during or after her academic studies, less powerful, usually serve as pets or friends and don't battle unless necessary
-Eva and Cat are secondary battlers, after a resurgence of her trainer habits while studying in Kanto.
~Has at least 1 from each region, uses them to blend in better(Kanto=Cat, Johto=Hera, Hoenn=Loco, Sinnoh=Biff, Kalos=Kit/Eva)
~Have been with her 10 years or less
Default Team:
