the LEADER - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - <sprite>
Yakov Ivelitsch is tall, bulky, rugged, unshaven, and perpetually dotted with grease from his machines. He doesn't care much for appearances, so more often than not one will see him clad in overalls and welding gloves and big, clunky boots, his blonde hair shaggy and in his face. One would never suspect just looking at him -- or even from interacting with him, as he is gruff and awkward and speaks very little -- that he's a technological genius. Cars, robots, various other machines, and even artificial intelligence are all things that he knows like the back of his hand. Technology is his calling and, unlike people, he understands nearly very facet of it. While he may not be as talented with Pok?mon as he is with his machines, he loves the creatures dearly and studied their methods of communication extensively enough that he learned it himself. Then he made a smartphone app that translates Pokespeech to Solastellan, English, or Ruska, his native tongue. He's just that kind of guy.
He may not be great with people, but he figures that he doesn't have to be good at talking with them to read their strategies and counter with his own. He prefers to fight in double-battles, because it opens up a new dimension and realm of possibility that single-battles just don't have. His fighting style is a combination of hitting hard and fast and using strategy to power up those attacks even further, with both of his participating Pok?mon covering the other's weaknesses.
the POKÉMON
Magnezone, Level 55
Name: Sasha
Gender: None
Ability: Analytic
Moves: Magnet Rise, Zap Cannon, Flash Cannon, Hidden Power [Water]
Personality: Although a very talented battler and strategist, Sasha is very stiff and doesn't have much of a sense of humor. Lyubov likes to call them a stick-in-the-mud, and because they're friends with her, they are constantly getting pulled into her attempts to make them have some fun and "live a little." They come off as pretty mean, dry, and disinterested, but they still play along half-heartedly with their friend, which implies they do care at least a little. All attempts to be more "fun" are done with when it comes time to fight, though. Then they're all business.
Aggron, Level 55
Name: Lyubov
Gender: Female
Ability: Rock Head
Moves: Head Smash, Stealth Rock, Iron Tail, Dragon Rush
Personality: She's a friendly, boisterous gal who loves to have a good time, and more often than not she winds up being the one to speak for her team and her trainer, since she's the only one who can talk that actually likes to. Lyubov loves to laugh and joke and generally has a pretty good attitude, although her way of showing affection with people is usually with some mild form of violence. She doesn't know her own strength sometimes, so she may accidentally hurt people, and she tends to insist they just "walk it off" afterwards. During battle, all of that accidental strength becomes sharply honed and extraordinarily dangerous. Lyuba knows how to throw her weight around, and her physical power is incredible. She gets very competitive and loves to battle.
Metagross, Level 50
Name: Slava
Gender: None
Ability: Clear Body
Moves: Magnet Rise, Rock Slide, Psychic, Metal Claw
Personality: Slava tends to be mopey, introverted, and kind of a whiner when they actually speak, although they're typically quiet. They have little enthusiasm for anything and battle in a listless sort of way when they're on their own. However, when they're with Luka, they open up somewhat and act just a bit brighter. When they battle alongside their friend, they are sharper and more interested, and much more dangerous. They still tend to be melancholy even with Luka around, but the Empoleon makes them feel... actually happy, not that anyone can tell.
Empoleon, Level 45
Name: Luka
Gender: Male
Ability: Defiant
Moves: Aerial Ace, Waterfall, Earthquake, Swords Dance
Personality: Never will one meet a more honorable creature than Luka. He fights in a very straightforward manner, although he has the power to back it up, because he doesn't believe in tricks; he thinks they cheapen a fight. And if he ever feels like a battle is unfair, he will pause to try helping the enemy up to his level so that they can resume with equal footing. Outside of battle and in, he acts essentially as Yukov's conscience, refusing to do things he believes are wrong and trying to teach his trainer (and his teammates) sympathy. He is mute, but his kindness shows clearly in his actions and his demeanor, and the team has grown very good at reading his body language.
