[dracoon]

Name: Sasha 'Soyu' Lee
Gender: Female
Age: 15
Hometown: Blackthorn City
Appearance: A pallid but strong-looking girl with striking brown eyes typical of Blackthorn residents, Sasha has long black hair that cascades around her shoulders. Her slender body is usually clad in a black windbreaker over a grey, collared shirt, and she usually wears khakis with sneakers. Unusually enough, her shoes are always a bright red or neon green compared to her somewhat-monochromatic dress scheme. She usually has a satchel draped over her shoulder.
Personality: At first glance, Sasha may seem timid and submissive but she's got quick reflexes and an even sharper mind. She's able to manipulate others into doing her bidding while maintaining her facade, before striking at the most appropriate time when they let their guard down and running away with their precious items or Pokémon. Under that facade lies a sassy and defiant girl, refusing to conform to rules and always willing to walk the beaten path to achieve her aims. She hates being bound to anything, and because of this she often lands herself into trouble- yet she's always able to get herself away without a scratch due to the facade she builds up to them.
History:
- born to a dragon tamer family
- suffers from kleptomania, which is undiagnosed and justified as her 'urges'
- due to being caught stealing constantly, she was deemed unfit to raise Pokémon
- defying the others, she went off to submit the applications but they all failed for very obvious reasons
- disgruntled, she packed her bags and set off alone
- by hook or by crook, she intended to steal a powerful Pokémon for herself so that everyone'll stop looking down on her
Pokemon: 

'Mama', female, level 33. 

Speed Boost/Frisk 

Befriended due to saving her child a lot of trouble, Mama is more maternal and friendly than Soyu is. Though she doesn't 100% approve of her actions, she's often very supportive of her trainer and allows herself space to learn. 

Sonicboom, Supersonic, Detect, Tackle, Quick Attack, and AncientPower

Oooh I like her~ Accepted.

[dracoon]

Nice! I'll get around to posting shortly.

[clef]

Alrighty~ Depending where you end your post (in the city, on the route path, in the wilderness) will determine how many pokemon are near and what kinds and their backstories.

[dracoon]

And done! She's doing the Silver thing, but in a less overt way.

[clef]

Wow you got a really good roll Drac~ Just so you know, stronger pokemon are a lot harder to befriend, and especially to steal.

[dracoon]

Yeah, I know the stealing is going to be hard as heck. Couldn't resist having Soyu snicker a bit at Weepinbells inhaling Pidoves- she's quite the sadist and I guess a Ghost-type would click really well with her.

hoping for a Gengar ok

[clef]

Well I doubt she will be able to get this Gengar to join her at the moment, but if it takes a liking it might be a recurring pokemon.
I plan out complex histories for each pokemon encountered, so depending on how you respond some pokemon might leave and some might even approach her themselves. I use the RNG along with what you say to determine most of what happens.

[dracoon]

Sasha really loves pranksters. Like, she really does and she just invited Gengar to wreck havoc on Elm's. It'll be funny if Gengar does join up, because she really wanted to get back at Elm and New Bark itself and basically nothing fazes her(she was a dragon tamer so she's seen a lot).

[clef]

Well I don't know if you read the previous posts but the old woman who works in the lab is a psychic. More will be revealed about her later but she's basically the reason Gengar was lurking around there in the first place.

[dracoon]

Ah ok. I don't think Soyu knows, since she was trying to do all kinds of hanky-panky as a new person here. She did enjoy herself though but well, she's certain she'd meet Gengar again. Right now, her strategy changed. xD

[clef]

The Gengar will come back to her once she proves to be strong enough to own it.
Also since you skipped past New Bark, I just want to tell you what events the pokemon could have lead to so you get an idea of the many different paths each pokemon leads to.
-You could have befriended the Weepinbell (it didn't want to be caught) and it would attract pokemon with Sweet Scent
-The vendor would have sold you a Remoraid or you could steal one, you also could have provoked Octillery to attack you and then use your 'injury' to blackmail the vendor
-The Pidove are loyal but dim so they would probably go in and wreak havoc in the lab if you gave them food in exchange
-Gengar was able to be befriended to become a recurring pokemon (You achieved this) but he would also scare away the Pidove and scare the vendor off.

[dracoon]

Thanks for the heads up! Soyu's fairly adamant that Gengar'll return soon.

Also she actually fears Ice-types, which is very typical of dragon tamers. She has, like a million Yache and Haban berries on her, haha.

[clef]

Btw guys, drac is a gm so her character can give out items and stuff and challenge you to battles.

The berries are fine but you can't use them in battle for yourself unless you receive some legitimately to be fair to others.

[dracoon]

Yeah, she won't, she'd mostly feed them to Pokèmon or eat them herself...it's her rations from when she ran away from home.
