NAME: Sabrina

AGE: 21

POKEMON (team on hand):  Abra and Haunter

FACULTY POSITION HELD: teacher/prof

CLASSES TAUGHT (if any): Early Childhood

CLUBS SUPERVISED; TEAMS COACHED (if any): Color Guard

RESUME (1-2 paragraph AU’d backstory; e.g. why did they decide to teach? are they still a gym leader/E4/etc?): Sabrina decided to go into teaching Psychology or rather, more specifically Early Childhood because of her own childhood. She felt that it would be wise to inform people about this delicate stage of human life. Despite that, Sabrina hasn’t spent much time teaching so she still holds the title of Saffron City’s gym leader. She feels a bit apathetic about the job and kind of wishes she hadn’t crushed the spirit of the fighting type gym that shared the same town. Maybe if there were two gyms she wouldn’t feel so much pressure when travelling trainers came around (but is that legal?). Sabrina is tough and cool but on the inside very caring and it’s hard for her to express that properly since she spends so much time keeping her powers in check. This is a habit that is hard to break, so she likes to keep things in order and follow rules to the letter.

NAME: Candice

AGE: 23

POKEMON (team on hand): 

FACULTY POSITION HELD: Teacher

CLASSES TAUGHT: World History and Home Economics

CLUBS SUPERVISED; TEAMS COACHED: Cheerleading

RESUME: Candice became the Snowpoint Gym Leader at the age of 15 after the old leader retired. Because of this, Candice was pretty much forced to step up and not really have a “typical” teenage life. She worked as hard as she could to be worthy of holding the title of Gym Leader, but after awhile it become more of a chore than fun.

After getting her backside generously handed to her, Candice decided to take a sabbatical from being a Gym Leader to focus on herself. She traveled a lot, ending up in Unova where she found herself kinda broke. Thankfully, a well-timed ad for a teaching position found its way to her; Candice applied immediately.

PERMANENT RECORD: Growing up, Leaf had always been good at battling - but never quite as strong as Red, Fire, or Green. She traveled through Kanto for a while, earning gym badges and constantly postponing challenging the Elite 4, not entirely sure what to do with her life. After finally deciding she wasn’t going to challenge the Elite 4 or Champion, she hung around at home until her mother finally told her to go somewhere and actually do something, suggesting a school in Unova she’d heard about.Leaf had always been pretty smart - she often made up for her lack of strength with a knowledge of strategy and type advantages. Futuri Principes seemed like her chance to stop being left behind, and try something new. Bored of doing nothing in a small town, she agreed to go, and left as soon as she could. 

Leaf soon realized that while she struggled with battling, she had a talent for academics. She’s a straight-A student, and prioritizes her grades above all else. While she likes to take advantage of not having to study for easier classes, she refuses to let anything get in the way of her success - even making friends. She’s also a little abrasive, which pretty much means she doesn’t know a lot of people other than her old friends from Kanto. But if Leaf’s good at anything, it’s trying. She knows she isn’t as good as some of the other kids in Battling 4, but she’s willing to push herself to meet their level. She’s not afraid to work hard at anything she wants to do at Futuri Principes - and that might even include making a few friends.

NAME: Volkner

AGE: 21 years old

POKEMON (team on hand): Electivire, Luxray, Jolteon, Raichu, Pachirisu and Ambipom

FACULTY POSITION HELD: Teacher

CLASSES TAUGHT (if any): Battling 3 and Mechanics CLUBS SUPERVISED; TEAMS COACHED (if any): Robotics

RESUME (1-2 paragraph AU’d backstory; e.g. why did they decide to teach? are they still a gym leader/E4/etc?):

Volkner received the position of gym leader at the age of 17, after the former leader of Sunyshore retired. While originally ambitious and full of life when it came to battling, Volkner grew tired at the barrage of mediocre challenges he received. He quickly grew bored, and began to experiment on the gym- any challenges were denied and trainers were left to receive badges outside the gym. However, his spark came back after one incredible trainer defeated him…

Gaining his charisma back, Volkner challenged and fought trainers to the best of his abilities. Word passed about a Pokemon school opening, but Volkner initially tossed it aside… until he was thoroughly convinced by Flint to join. Now, Volkner teaches young trainers the importance of battle and the joy that it can bring.

Or, at least that’s what he tries to think.

He still visits and challenges trainers in Sunyshore, but only during holidays or by special request.
