History:
A wanderer and thrill-seeker who’s tried his hand at just about everything. Brandt was raised in the treetops of Fortree City, leaving home on his Pokémon journey without a second's pause. Actual training was always put on the back-burner, with Brandt always managing to find some other adventure or evil team to take on during his league challenges. The first and only time he came back home for any period longer than a week was after the Hostile Freeze-Over. The experience was more jarring than he lets on, but he likes to tell himself he's moved past it. After some R&R, he backpacked around his home region before moving on to Kalos. He trained extensively at Cyllage City’s gym, and got what amounted to an unpaid internship at some washed up detective’s agency in Lumios to keep himself busy. The siren’s song of the islands eventually pulled him back to Ohana, the announcement of the Battle Test series too tempting to resist.
Companions:
[LAND] Lawrence
Arcanine | Flash Fire | Careful
Odor Sleuth, Flamethrower, Extreme Speed, Thunder Fang
A big ole’ scaredy-dog, Lawrence is timid when it comes to anything spooky. Brandt changed the mon’s name after some quack Name Rater gave him a scathing review for not having it fit the theme.
[AIR] Challenger
Noivern | Infiltrator | Adamant
Boomburst, Superfang, Hurricane, Air Slash
Consistently grumpy and ill-mannered, she is quick to react to any perceived sleights against her, or her comrades. Don’t worry though, her Boomburst is worse than her bite. When not grumbling, she’s plotting on how to liberate shiny things from their owners.
[SEA] Dakkar
Relicanth | Rock Head | Calm
Head Smash, Stone Edge, Ice Beam, Aqua Tail
An ancient mon that remains stoic in the face of most things, reacting only when necessary and with above-par skill. A firm believer in ‘good form’ within battle and life, she always extends courtesy towards her foes.
[EGG] Crusoe
Eevee | Adaptability | Impish
Sand Attack, Bite, Quick Attack, Mimic* (Move Tutor/Gen 1 TM wutwut)
Petty and immature, Brandt and Crusoe share the bonds of loyalty common between a trainer and their starter. In recent years, however, that bond has been strained, as Brandt has kept the mon out of any real battles, resulting in a severe atrophy of skill.
[FREE] Santiago
Hawlucha | Limber | Bold
Flying Press, Encore, Brick Break, Fire Punch
An overdramatic, dandy with a penchant for the theatrics, something Brandt indulges him in far too often to be strategically sound. If he could pull off all his moves in slow-mo, he would.
[MEGA] Magellan
Mawile | Hyper Cutter | Relaxed
Magnet Rise, Crunch, Iron Head, Play Rough
Brandt severely regrets not having another Mega-capable Pokémon on his roster. Forced to bring his least favorite mon back to Ohana once again, he takes small comfort knowing that their simmering animosity only rarely exceeds biting words and empty threats.Fearful in the face of babies? That's ... beautiful-- does this include any clingy baby pokemon XDD Haha~
I can't wait to see him in action this year-! ;D
