Name: Zachary Drake
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Trainer Type:
Zachary is a Young Pokemon Photographer. He has loved capturing Pokemon with his camera ever since he got his first camera at age six. He loves it so much that he even took up an apprentice ship at a local shop for taking pictures with Pokemon and their trainers. He has put together pamphlets for breeders, dancers, and other groups trying to promote their companies with Pokemon.
Now Zachary wishes to gain more knowledge about Pokemon and meet them where they are at. He wishes to find them in the wild, and capture them living in their natural habitats. This however he does realize will mean that he is going to have to have some for his own protection, but Zachary feels that he should only capture the number of Pokemon that he actually needs to make sure he will not get injured. After that he would rather just take pictures of Pokemon.
However it should be noted that just because he does not wish to necessarily catch every Pokemon for himself, the Pokemon that he does capture he will train and practice with pushing them to be the best that they can be, because the stronger they are the easier it will be to collect pictures of far rarer Pokemon.
Hometown:
Cerulean City
Appearance:
Zack has light Caucasian skin, deep hazel eyes, and wild blonde hair. His body is very fit, due mainly to the fact that he is working out all the time. A lot of this is due to the fact that he does a lot of climbing and moving around to get perfect pictures forcing his body to be relatively strong. He does hava a few scars on his body, though most of them are covered by clothing.
He prefers to wear a black t-shirt on most days, with a deep green military jacket that was his fathers when he was part of the armed forces. Zack also prefers military boots black as they are very good for walking long distance, and hold up very well. He usually wears kaki cargo pants as well. The pockets come in useful for holding extra film and other small equipment.
Personality:
Even though he has a very military look Zack is a lot less strict about things then is let on. Though he finds rules extremely important for making sure he gets good pictures. He loves laughing and hanging out with friends, though he is not usually the practical joking type. He loves being around trainers and Pokemon the most, though he is fine with pretty much any situation. He has an affinity for Pokemon, and Pokemon seem to have an affinity for him making his job of taking their pictures even more fun as they get along so well.
Though he may not be a natural born leader, he can very easily appoint himself to the situation if a strong leader is not in the group. He likes someone else to take charge most of the time as he prefers to capture pictures of things, and that can get in the way of being a leader. He is very good at making people feel good about themselves and their Pokemon or put another way Zack is a very smooth talker, and a very calming voice.
Even with such strong strengths Zachary does have a few flaws. Some of the more significant ones should be noted here. First of all he can get so focused on a picture that he does not see what is going on around him, or can put himself in extremely dangerous situations for a picture. But Because of this he has gotten some pretty good pictures of Pokemon.(Even though it really is a weakness) Secondly Zachary tends to get distracted really easily. Which is odd due to the fact that he can get so focused at times. Much of the time Zachary is lost in his own thoughts and is usually just coming up with new ideas on how to get pictures.
History:
Parents: James, and Sarah Drake
Siblings: Elizabeth, and Trevor; Ages 12, and 23
Family Pets: Pikachu, Chansey, Azuril
Zachary was born in Cerulean City as the middle child. His older brother went on to become a very good Pokemon breeder. His father was a very prominent Pokemon Researcher though he had not reached the Professor status. He moved his family to Cerulean to continue his research. Zachary loved the big city atmosphere and in many ways thrived in it. Though what made him unique was he also loved being out in the wilderness by himself a lot as well. His father was never to far away when they went out into the wilder areas for protection.
When he reached ten years old Zachary was able to join a local photography shop as an apprentice to learn the art of photography. He was a natural loving every minute of it. In a few cases thus far a few of his pictures have even been sold. His boss thinks very highly of him, and is sad to hear that he is going to be leaving and going on his very own Pokemon journey. After six years of working for the man, Zachary feels it is time to move on and see where the camera will lead him.
He did have friends, but no one very close as he spent so much time exploring he did not make a whole lot of close friendships. This was ok in his mind however, because he realized very early on that you never know what is behind the next corner, and a lot of people did not really want to follow him. He climbed, jumped and even scaled objects to get shots, not many people were willing to do this and so the majority of his friendships came form work, or spending time with his siblings.
Zachary is about to make his way to the Local Professor so that he can get started on his very own adventure. He is not sure how Pokemon adventures work, but as long as he can go out and explore area’s that most trainers don’t go, and collect rare pictures of Pokemon he is planning on doing whatever it takes. His mother gave him a new backpack, and a new pair of boots. His dad simply smiled and gave him some extra film. Zackary was ready to go, He looked at his family standing there by the breakfast table one last time gave a wave and headed out the door.
The First Winter
Some trainers definitely have it easier than others, but that did not seem to be that case for Zachary and his starting Journey. It all started with a fake Prof. Oak who he had to battle to save the actual Oak and gain his first Pokemon. Though he had to use thsi initial Pokemon to battle a deviant man trying to steal research and even more treated his Pokemon with disrespect and even disgust.
THough seemingly things did in some way approve, but it was winter and a strong winter storm hit the region keeking Zachary in New Bark Town and training every so often just to stretch his legs. During this time he found some new friends and made some enemies, but just like anything life moves on and so does Zachary as he desired to continue his journey onward as the winter snow started to thaw and make way for spring.
Goals:
1. Collect a Strong Pokemon team so that he can explore even the most dangerous areas of the world.
2. Collect pictures of wild Pokemon
3. Find and capture on film rare Pokemon
4. If Possible He has heard of legendary Pokemon and Wants to see at least one of those once in his life.
5. Eventually open up his own photography shop and sell his pictures.
