Topic: Second Go: Taylor M. Seraito

[ZD| Wattmole]

Name: Taylor "Ty" M. Seraito
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Description: Ty stands 5'5" tall, weighing only 125 lbs. His eyes are those of a tactician, constantly scanning the battle field and thinking of new and unique ways to attack.
Personality: Ty is usually a very open person. he usually tries to hide his psychic abilities from people he's just met, unless he battles with Claydol. He's a strategist and an illusionist, he tries to attack in different and unique ways. Confusing and throwing his opponent off guard. he's very inquisitive and likes observing peoples battle styles to see if he could possibly adapt them to his own.
History:Born in Saffron city. He trained his psychic skills in Sabrina's gym, along with his companion Baltoy. The two developed a bond that grew past trainer and pokemon, they were friends, almost brothers to each other. He'd confide his secrets to Baltoy when no one else would listen, and Baltoy would confide in him. Their psychic bond not only allows them to communicate but they synchronize during battle. Because of that bond when Baltoy battled, Ty could actually feel in his shoes and commanded Baltoy as if it were he out there on the field fighting. Just before leaving on his own for his career as a great magician and psychic, Ty challenged Sabrina to a battle, barely pulling off a win and having Baltoy evolve as well.
Friends: Sabrina, Kristian, Dane
Enemies: Zenec(Though Ty has never fought him directly), Team Galaxy
Pokémon:

Claydol[Luxuryball]
[Levitate]
Teleport, Confusion, Harden, Rapid Spin, Mud-slap, Psybeam, Rock Tomb, Self Destruct, Ancient Power, Sandstorm, Hyper Beam, Psychic, Mimic
Ty and Claydol are like brothers, having grown up and practiced together they have developed a deep bond. This bond is both metaphorical and literal, as there is a psychic bond between them. Many times during Claydol's battles Ty need not call out his attacks, but rather send them to him Telepathically.

Empoleon(Male)[Pokeball]
[Torrent]
Pound, Peck, Bubblebeam, Growl, Bubble, Water Sport, Metal Claw, Bide, Brine, Aqua Jet, Steel Wing, Whirlpool, Iron Defense
Empoleon evolved for Ty during a battle against Kristian in the Kanto League. During his down time in Saffron, Ty has been training Empoleon closely with Claydol and Roserade, unnofficially adopting Empoleon as the fourth member of his makeshift family. The Emperor Pokemon has since added quite a few new moves to his repetoire and become a towering shield for Ty's team.

Magmortar(Male)[Pokeball]
[Flame Body]
Smog, Leer, Ember, Smokescreen, Faint Attack, Fire Spin, Confuse Ray, Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, Lava Plume, Flamethrower, Solar Beam, Protect, Brick Break, Flare Blitz
Ty met Magmortar back when he was a Magby, back then a tool in Zenec's plot to do away with the trio. Through a chance meeting Magmortar was returned to his trainer. When Zenec finally enacted his plan and set the Shadow Pokemon into play Magmortar was affected and sent on a rampage through Vermillion City. After an effort solely on Ty's part Magmortar was calmed and is now back in Ty's hands, fully cured.


Offhand Pokemon:

Roserade(Female)[Pokeball]
[Natural Cure]
Absorb, Growth, Poison Sting, Stun Spore, Mega Drain, Leech Seed, Magical Leaf, Sunny Day, Grass Knot, Weather Ball, Energy Ball
Roserade is a show girl at heart. She's know to dodge attacks by simply dancing around them. She''s used both in battles and Ty's magic act. Despite everything else she's one of Ty's strongest pokemon. Evolving during a battle with Giratina she's gained a lot of power.

Xatu(Male)[Nestball]
[Synchronize]
Peck, Leer, Night Shade, Teleport, Lucky Chant, Miracle Eye, Future Sight, Refresh, Me First, Confuse Ray, Psychic, Tailwind, Shadow Ball
Upon evolving under Ty's training Xatu has become much more skilled in controlling his overwhelming psychic powers. He has trouble channeling all of it, but has proven more than skilled now. While training, and since evolving, he has become quicker of body and wit.

Snorlax(Male)[Pokeball]
[Thick Fat]
Metronome, Odor Sleuth, Tackle, Defense Curl, Amnesia, Lick, Zen Headbutt, Belly Drum, Water Pulse, Yawn, Rest, Pursuit, Body Slam
Not caught by Ty, but rather by his other pokemon Chisu. After evolving he seems to have broken his lazy habits, though he still acts it to fake out opponents. Surprisingly quick for weighing so much and able to take a lot of damage with stride. Snorlax is a true physical powerhouse.

Hypno(Male)[Pokeball]
[Insomnia]
Pound, Hypnosis, Disable, Confusion, Headbutt, Poison Gas, Meditate, Psybeam, Psych Up, Nightmare, Dream Eater, Barrier, Assist, Psycho Cut, Shadow Ball
Not much is known about Hypno. He appeared randomly and offered to become Ty's pokemon for reasons he himself didn't quite understand. Whatever the reason he's a strong asset to Ty's team and may just be the boost Ty needs to prove himself.

Beedrill(Male)[Pokeball]
[Swarm]
Poison Sting, Fury Attack, Focus Energy, Twineedle, Rage
Beedrill was caught by Lorett but traded to Ty for his Vespiquen. Beedrill was used only once so far, in an attempt to cut through and Ariados' spider web. Not much else is know about him though.

Grantangent-Granbull(Male)[Pokeball]
[Intimidate]
Take Down, Lick, Curse, Bite, Roar, Ice Punch, Thunder Punch, Fire Punch, Rage, Headbutt
Ty recieved Grantangent over the GTS for his Miltank. Grantangent has the needed power to make up for the loss of Miltank, but has been known to go a bit overboard and sometimes attack without being ordered to. He's also sometimes attacked teammates and has tried to bite Ty a few times too.

Bronzong[Pokeball]
[Levitate]
Gyro Ball, Light Screen, Reflect, Stealth Rock, Extrasensory, Rock Tomb, Imprison
Ty got Bronzong in a trade, and recognizes it as Dane's old Bronzor. The two get along well, but Bronzong has a habit of trapping Ty within his hollow body as a joke. Ty wants to build a strong relationship with Bronzong, so he often finds himself polishing the bronze bell pokemon when time permits.

Chisu-Pachirisu(Male)[Pokeball]
[PickUp]
Growl, Bide, Fake Tears, Quick Attack, Charm, Spark, Endure, Shockwave, Swift, Thunder Wave, Hyper Fang, Return, Iron Tail
Chisu is an adorable little trickster and enjoys riding on Ty's shoulder and head. He's always causing trouble and doing things for Ty's benefit. Despite his small size he's got a larger power that no one could understand.


Key Items:

Badge Case: Boulder, Cascade, Marsh, Rainbow, Thunder, Coal, Forest, Cobble, Fen, Relic, Mine, Glacier, Beacon, Volcano, Earth

Bag O' Tricks: A bag full of props needed for many of Ty's tricks. The bag itself is a trick, seeing as it fits things much larger than itself inside.

Ty rescued and caught a Houndour he's decided to nickname Blaze, for the sake of giving him an identity seperate from other Houndour and Houndoom...and for the sake of not getting confused with Kristian's Houndoom later on.

Posted on: August 20, 2008, 08:21:39 PM~~Update....of DOOM!!!~~

I have decided to retire Ty to NPC status, and send him back home to the Gym in Saffron. However he has decided to leave Blaze to his new 'friend' Zeke, and Magmortar to someone who would prove to be a better trainer than him.
Posted on: October 10, 2008, 09:07:26 AMRETIRED - Ty is now entering permanent retirement, such a shame but he will never be forgotten.
