Age: 18
Gender: Male

Description:
Picture:
Height: 5"11
Weight: 51 Kilograms
Build: Medium, athletic.

Andrew stands about 5"11 - an average height for around his age. His brown hair hangs down over his eyes like a moving mobile over a childs cot. Ragged and unaware Andrew doesn't take much notice of his clothing. In most situations he is fitted with a brown or blue shirt, mostly brown and long pink pants - have to be careful in long grass. He stands out in a crowd with his scruffiness and doesn't smell grand either. Hands often dirty doing from playing with his friends and Pokemon he doesnt believe he has time to clean up before going to train again. He wears a wide blue hat covering most of his un-tidy hair and makes him have an eerie appearance for a first impression.

Personality:

Andrew has a carefree personality, caring about others before himself. He likes peace and patience and will do anything to keep a fight from breaking out. Very passionate about Pokemon he cares deeply about nature. Andrew gets angry when picked on, or bullied and feels that everyone should be treated equal, no matter of public status and wealth. He is very sneaky at times and can be seen 'borrowing' things from others to distribute to help the unlucky. He has aspirations to become a top ranked scientist, and a fighter for the people. He is a dreamer, one of a select few nowadays. Andrew loses focus easily and only concentrates on one thing - his Pokemon. This in turn has left him excluded from groups of people who think he is weak, and stupid. Andrew is quite smart and can show if needed. Lately, he has begun to feel alone, and dejected. He has been getting angry at everything because no-one likes him, no-one cares. He wants to begin a journey around his homeland, Ecruteak but he can't find a way, as he cares to much to leave Morty and his friends at the monastery for good. Always happy for new friends, human or Pokemon.

History:

Andrew was born into a poor family in Goldenrod City. They lived in the Underground stations until they were attacked by Team Rocket Grunts trying to take over the City. His father was captured and is now a member of Team Rocket. Andrew and his mother moved to Ecruteak after the incident where Andrew was placed into a Pokemon School, founded by the Eevee sisters. People didn't like him because he was poor, and because he beat the half the time at Pokemon battles. In turn he was kicked out and left to fend for himself. His mother left him to go to Cianwood at the age of 11. He found a wild Machop at this age - his first Pokemon. Once twelve his mother enrolled him in the Tin Tower Monastery, and left for Cianwood town. Andrew took up shelter at the Tin Tower, living there and eating there for three long years, obtaining a Sudowoodo and training it and his Machop during the time.

When he reached his age of 15, the monk schooling was over, and he left for Mount Mortar. Andrew took up shelter inside, scaveging items and finding Pokeballs lying around and caught a Houndour while straying south of Ecruteak one night. Andre lived inside Mount Mortar, inside training his Pokemon, Machoke, Sudowoodo and Houndoom with desperation.  On his 17th birthday, he returned to Ecruteak and Team Rocket had ransacked the town in his away time. His father had left a note - his father was the Team Rocket Admin in charge of the attack. Half the citizens had been taken away and Morty, the Gym Leader was left weak and cripped, his Pokemon defeated. Morty took Andrew under his wing - Andrew now specialises in the Ghost and Fighting types of Pokemon. He left on a quest to defeat Team Rocket and gain recognition before his 18th birthday.

After raising his Pokemon in Mount Mortar to another adequate standard and leaving his Houndoom in the PC
he departed for Goldenrod City. He took up residence there, near the day care, and near the forest. Lately, late at night he has been sneaking away from his home and training inside the depths of the forest with his Pokemon. His Pokemon have become much stronger because of his rigourous training schedule. He challenged Whitney, the Goldenrod gym leader and lost. He has devoted himself to training for the Gym Badges quest and for his dream to one day become a scientist. Andrew has been battling trainers and becoming skilled at the art of Battling for a while now, earning money while he goes. He is still training his Pokemon - to be strong enough to take on any gym or opponent.

Friends and enemies:
None as of yet, however Team Rocket (NPC?) could be considered as an enemy.

Pokémon:

Andrew takes a strong interest in GHOST and FIGHTING types. After his history in Ecruteak, and Pokemon friends during his age progression, he has been influenced and loves these types most. He prefers Kanto and Johto Pokemon over the Sinnoh and Hoenn region's selection, except for a few special Pokemon he wants to get his hands on - one called 'Lucario' and another named 'Medicham'

<by the way, they're strong because technically i've been a trainer for 7 years, since age 11 - therefore my Pokemon through 7 years of training <at the rate of the anime> should be around this level, and higher than say a 13 year old trainer, per say?>

Party
Kaito, the Machamp <level 49>
Andrew discovered a lone Machop in Mount Mortar at the age of 11 on his first visit with his family. Andrew befriended it and now Machop is his closest companion. Machop evolved on the day of Andrew leaving the monastery of monks and Andrew is curious when it will evolve again. Machoke has a close bond with Andrew. Machoke evolved into Machamp after defeating a Shiny Tyranitar in the Goldenrod Underground Rocket Base.

Gastly was given to Andrew by Morty after Team Rocket attacked Ecruteak for rare Pokemon.

Gastly evolved into Haunter after beating trainers in Mount Mortar soon after leaving Ecruteak.

Fliciopa, the Houndoom <level 37>
Andrew caught Houndour at the ripe age of 16 south of Ecruteak on one of his nightly Pokemon training sprees. Andrew would sneak out to go train in the dead of night.

Miltank, the Miltank.

{Not much is know about Miltank since her first debut match against Dane. She seems kind and caring, while being strong at the same time. She doesn't often like to battle but will if asked nicely enough.}
Miltank was received in a GTS trade with Taylor 'Ty' Seraito. Andrew has yet to experience it.

Seems good - a couple of spelling mistakes in places, but you seem to know what you're doing. I would recommend spell checking posts before posting them though. Otherwise, have fun.
