#he technically is

This young fella here is Allen, hailing from Rustboro City in Hoenn. Without a clear idea of what to do for their future after school nor particular interest into challenging the Gyms, they fell into the “Oh, I love pokemon, they’re so nice and awesome, I could work with them!” trap and applied to help out in the nearby DayCare. In short, they fucked around and found out- pokemon are much harder to care for than what most think and what cute videos and competitions make it look. They’re not type to back down from a challenge though, and they’re powered by sheer spite towards their doubtful parents who want them to go into a more profitable field, so they pushed through and  worked hard to get better. After seeing that Prof. Peach was looking for volunteers on  Dōtaku Island, they decided to hop on the occasion and get more experience.

They’re kinda new to the Island but they learn fast and have tough skin- hopefully they won’t end up in some pokemon’ stomach. Whatever needs to be done in the facility, they’re avaible; recovering and babysitting children who stranded from their group? On it, boss. Giant pile of pokemon poop to clean up? Mask and shovel already in hand. Tour car broke down? Pretty sure if they bonk it just right it’ll start up again or something. Entitled visitor is harassing other staff members? Telling people to fuck off is their favourite job. They’re also a fan of Professor Grey (where does he find all that energy??) but with Professor Peach they’re stuck in the “Do I want to be her, date her, or be adopted by her?” limbo. Good luck getting out of that one kid.

Team:

Tiny - a dwarf, half shiny Raboot with a big personality, second oldest of the team, can and will cut a bitch. He’s a bit on the jealous side and loves being given attentions despite his murder gaze.

Mop - short for Muppet, she’s a sweet bean Shuppet who’s been Allen support pokemon for the last two years. She’s very chill and loves taking naps with her trainer.

Albedo - last addition to the team from Allen’s parents before they left for the Island. He’s a 6 months old Houndour, hunting dog variety, too smart for his own good and a bit spiteful when he doesn’t get what he wants. His name is due to his very shiny silver coat.

Aster - first pokemon on Allen’s team, he’s a shiny Ponyta they befriended on a family trip to Lavaridge Town. He’s and indipendent but friendly very big boy, happy to be Allen’s primary form of transportation on the Island and outside. He’s been refusing to evolve despite being well past the evolution point, and Allen is trying to understand if there’s any issue at play that could be solved.
