(#4) Alex Ashford a.k.a. Axeford

[K-kun: Terror's Advocate]

Name: Alex Ashford a.k.a. Axeford
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Description: Alex looks like your run-of-the-mill trainer standing 5'7" in his White Tee, Red Vest, and Black Jeans. He has swept forward Blonde hair and sparkling Green eyes. The aspiring Pokemon Master wears Black Wristbands and Red Sneakers.
Personality: Alex Ashford is a happy person who dreams of being one of the Elite Four champions. Energetic and optimistic to the max, Alex loves adventuring and learning new things. He loves his family dearly, and since he's always away from home, he treats his pokemon as family. He prefers the "go-for-it" approach to most situations, only occasionally taking time to think beforehand.
History: Alex grew up on the outskirts of Violet City in Johto with his Mom and Dad. When he turned 15, his parents finally let him travel to New Bark Town to get his first pokemon and begin his journey. About a month after he left his home, the young trainer came across the ancient Ruins of Alph and witnessed two suspicious characters sneaking around at night. They were startled to see someone there at that time and after the 3 of them fell into a secret room. The two characters were very interested in the room, and didn't seem at all surprised when the writing on the walls started floating around, chanting. They remembered that Alex was there and decided to make him forget about the room. Luckily, they were unable to defeat Alex's Totodile/Bellsprout combination. He would not see the two again until he was passing through Ilex Forest, where they tried to break into a shrine amidst the trees. Although he beat them again, all he learned about them was what their organization was called and their superior's initial's; W.T.
Friends: Alice Marie Ashford (younger sister)
Enemies: Prophets of Origin
Pokemon:

Party

• Croconaw (Male) [LEVEL 29/Torrent] Rash {Pokeball}
  Scratch, Leer, Dragon Claw, Water Gun, Rage, Bite Scary Face, Ice Fang, Thrash, Dig, Surf
  Croconaw was Alex's first pokemon, and he seems to share many of his trainer's aspects. He's curious and helpful, and he jumps head first into most situations. The water pokemon evolved during the battle at the Ilex Forest shrine.
• Dodrio (Male) [LEVEL 31/Run Away] Jolly {Pokeball}
  Pluck, Peck Growl, Quick Attack, Rage, Fury Attack, Pursuit, Uproar, Acupressure
  Alex's third pokemon stole Bella's pokeball thinking it was a berry. The Doduo was unable to eat the device, not for lack of trying, and was caught unawares by an exhausted Alex. Despite the faces that Dodrio makes, it's overall mood is that of an inquisitive detective.
• Victreebel - Bella (Female) [LEVEL 40/Chlorophyll] Hardy {Pokeball}
  Vine Whip, Growth, Wrap, Sleep Powder, Poison Powder, Stun Spore, Acid, Knock Off, Sweet Scent, Gastro Acid, Razor Leaf
  Alex received Bella the Bellsprout in a trade in Violet about a week before he came across the Ruins of Alph. She likes to prove herself the best, often pushing his other pokemon out of the way. The plant pokemon grew remarkably quickly, in more ways than one. By the time of the battle at Ilex Forest Shrine, the Weepinbell was a good 4.5 feet tall. As a Victreebel, it now stands 6'10", making her taller than any person he's met.
• Torkoal (Male) [LEVEL 28/White Smoke] Lax {Pokeball}
  Ember, Smog, Withdraw, Curse, Fire Spin, SmokeScreen, Rapid Spin, Flamethrower
  Alex found this sleepy pokemon just South of Goldenrod. Not knowing what it was, the boy quickly caught it to learn more. Since then, Torkoal has been a welcome member of the team, although he is excessivly lazy. Alex almost lost to Whitney when the fire pokemon took a nap in the middle of the battle.
• Pichu - Piichan (Female) [LEVEL 14/Static] Hasty {Pokeball}
  ThunderShock, Charm, Charge, Volt Tackle, Tail Whip, Thunder Wave, Sweet Kiss
  A couple near Goldenrod that spent their free-time running a Pokemon Daycare Center had their charges stolen. The passing Alex was happy to help. He rescued them easily enough, but the thieves managed to make off with an egg. After a 3-day hunt, Alex returned to the couple with the egg in tow. Beaming at him for his dedication, the couple gave the egg to Alex to "keep it safe." The baby Piichan likes to ride his shoulders and is remarkably fast in battle.

Previously Owned

• Onix (Male) [LEVEL 10/Sturdy] Impish {Pokeball}
  Mud Sport, Tackle, Harden, Bind, Screech, Rock Throw
  Onix never liked his trainer, so when someone offered to trade for it, Alex couldn't agree quick enough. Neither has seen the other since.

Pokemon Gear (PokeGear) - Golden watch-like device that he keeps in one of his vest's inside pockets.
