Name:
Arved A. Helms
Age:
17
Gender:
Male
Appearance:
Although he's not nearly at giant status, Arved stands fairly tall at a respectable six feet and one inch. His skin tone is light, but he has an almost everlasting tan as he is outside almost constantly. Generally speaking, he's fairly muscular, but not overly so. He has dark brown hair that's just long enough where he occasionally has to brush it out of his brown eyes. He also has a small amount of facial hair, but it's not enough that it warrants shaving off. Overall, these things give him a somewhat rugged appearance. However, this is slightly at odds with the whimsical smile that often flashes across his face.
Most of the time, Arved just wears pants and t shirts of various colors. If it's very cold out, he'll put on the jacket that he carries around in his backpack on, but for the most part he isn't bothered by the cold. He always has his brown backpack with him that he uses to store all of his extra clothes and items. For shoes, Arved normally wears his hiking boots as opposed to tennis shoes like most trainers. He also wears an off-white baseball hat that has a Glacier Badge pinned to it.
Personality:
Above all else, Arved has a very strong sense of loyal and duty. In fact, his loyalty is so extreme that it approaches being a fault. He's somewhat slow to trust people initially, but once Arved makes a friend, he will immediately does his best to try to help them. Overall however, he prefers to be by himself and not have to deal with people that he doesn't know. In his downtime, Arved greatly enjoys reading, mostly history books or books of ancient lore.
Arved is most comfortable with Ice typed Pok?mon, but he is also fairly familiar with Fire and Fighting types. He fairs well with all the other types, except for Dark, of which he is slightly mistrustful of. In battle, he is very concerning with his Pok?mon's well-being and what they want to the point where he will call a battle if either one of the combatants don't seem to want to fight. This shouldn't be confused with weakness though, as Arved is a very competent battler. He is also very open to suggestions, both from his superiors and his peers.
History:
Arved hails from the northern Johto town of Mahogany, where he was born and raised. As an only child, he received quite a lot of loving attention from his parents, until his mother died of a cancerous disease when he was seven. After she passed, Arved's father became inconsolable and Arved was more or less looked after by the town as a whole.
Pryce, the leader of the Mahogany gym, especially stepped in to help with the raising of the young boy. When he was still little, Pryce mostly just let Arved play with his younger and more friendly Pok?mon, but as he aged, Pryce let him watch some of his gym battles so that Arved could learn more about Pokémon. By the time he was ten, Arved would help Pryce practice for his gym battles by using Fighting and Fire Pokémon that Pryce had for that occasion.
When he was thirteen, Pryce loaned Arved some of his books of the ancient history and lore of the world. By then, Arved father had fully recovered and was now once again immersing himself in his son's life, trying to make up for the time he has lost. As he used to be a fairly successful trainer, Arved's father was more than happy to give his son advice on battles and on life. Meanwhile, Arved had been pouring over Pryce's books and was now obsessed with the ideas and morals of old.
Shortly after his sixteen birthday, Arved asked his father's permission to go on a journey of his own. Still feeling bad about not being there for a several years, his father was more than happy to give his permission, on one condition; that Arved could go as long as he could beat Pryce in a battle. Pryce agreed to go along with this, but to both his and Arved's father's surprise, Arved elected to use Pryce's Ice types in the battle, as opposed to the Fire and Fighting Pokémon he was more used to.
Although it took him several tries, eventually Arved managed to beat Pryce with his own Pokémon. On his seventeenth birthday, Arved left Mahogany town and started wandering around the region, not exactly sure what he wanted to do. One day he heard about a new region that was a series of islands. Deciding that it would be interesting to explore a new land, Arved bought a boat ticket and headed out the the new region.

Glad that he had correctly identified his ranger, Clay just nodded when Haru said they should be going. As they walked over to the teleporter to bring them to Mt. Oktori, Clay stayed silent, making sure he knew all of the rules of the park. Last thing he wanted to do was get kicked out, especially seeing how he'd already payed.
As they got closer to the mountain, Clay decided to just stay silent, seeing how his ranger was doing the same. However, while they were walking through one of the forests, Haru suddenly ordered his Milktank to Rollout on a tree. Surprised, Clay took a step backward, but he was even more surprised when a Machop fell out of the tree.
"Oi, you better do something about this...." was Haru's only comment regarding his actions and the appearance of the Fighting type. Nodding slightly, Clay grabbed one of the Pokeballs on his belt and pressed the center button twice. The ball immediately grew and then there was a flash of red light as Gallade came out. "Gally, use Aerial Ace on that Machop."
The Gallade just nodded and ran forward toward the other Fighting type. When it got fairly close to Machop, Gally jumped up in the air and then swung one of its arms down to hit the Machop.
