Appearance
Akira stands at 5'6 and weighs 135 pounds, which is more or less average for a healthy growing boy about to journey the world. He inherited his father's Raven black hair, which he keeps at a medium length and wears different types of hats depending on his attire, in addition he inherited his mother's "trademark" golden eyes that were unique to her. Due to being outgoing as a child, Akira is fairly built and well toned, and has a high stamina due to running and climbing as a child while playing with Pokemon he was surrounded with while growing up. Akira developed a habit in hiding his expression with his "Poker" face, this doesn't mean he wont smile or laugh when needed but its takes time for him warm up to people and Pokemon before he expresses his feelings.
In terms of fashion Akira is a tech geek, he loves wearing the latest gadgets and Pokagear that is currently trending. He wearing a series of hoodies and shirts that mostly have abstract designs, if anything casual street clothes fits his personality then fancy suits and coats However, that's not to say hes not willing to experiment and try on something new if convinced it would look good on him. Instead of a backpack, he prefers a bag holder for traveling due to the convenience of grabbing items quickly when needed and less likely to get his stuff stolen.
Personality
Akira is a friendly but reserve individual and there are many reason why, the first being that he never grew up making friends with kids his age and tends to feel out of place in large groups. However, like most individuals, the more he gets to know people and pokemon alike will he begin to open up and grow comfortable. He won't make it easy, as he is quite stubborn. Being the son of a Pokemon Breeder, Akira will not back down from seeing Pokemon being mistreated and will step in when needed if it means to protect the rights and respect of a Pokemon that is no different in how humans should be treated. In battle, Akira is confident in himself and in his ability to analyze the situations hes gets himself into, he keeps a calm and collected attitude which as his mother noted "Was the trait that made her see his father for who he really is". That is to say, his confidence isn't always there when it comes to certain things. Akira has a inner meltdown when next to girls his age, and ironically not even his Pokerface can hide how fluster he gets or the blush on his cheeks which he resorts to pulling his hat down.
Akira is very interested in history, and curious to look for answers about the world he lives in and the secrets that it holds. As a child Akira would read his father's old books and research archived in his office that while he never fully understood, interested him in reading more books about Pokemons and Folklore. A growing hobby he has grown into is Pokemon Breeding, he learned this growing up watching his mother take care of Pokemon that she brought home injured, Given up by their trainers, or were confiscated from Criminals. When he was old enough he began to help out, although by "helping out" meant play with them in their backyard field and helping in feeding them, making sure they weren't fighting and getting to know them. However, not all the Pokemon left in their care were abandon, they were also a daycare service as well for trainers and Pokemon Coordinators. Regardless, he loved them all and treated them like family.
Family History
"Project Redo"
Akira is the son of a Pokemon Researcher name Junichi Masuda and a former member of the now disbanded Team Rocket Emiko Hasegawa. The tale of this unlikely encounter on how these two came to be is indeed strange and hard to believe, a quiet researcher that was able to appeal to a hotheaded and sadistic trainer that was raised to only battle and use Pokemon and considered a "prodigy" in their organization that many said would rival the late and missing Giovanni. But indeed it happened, its no secret Team Rocket has research many controversial studies that many professors look down today in the Pokemon world and Akira father Junichi was one of those researchers employed by the organization that took part in Mewtwo's creation, The Discovery of Celebi's shrine in the Ilex Forest, and most famously capturing it to harness its ability to travel back in time. The project was called "Project Redo" with the intention of using Celebi's power to send an elite squad of trainers (Led by Emiko) back in time and save Giovanni by killing "the boy" that ruined his reputation and burning the criminal syndicate to the ground. However, during the testing phase of the project where a time portal was opened to the day Team Rocket was ruined, Junoichi was unable to see a legendary Pokemon like Celebi be abused from the experiments; hearing its loud cries of pains as it withered and the consequences of the butterfly effect was the reason why he turned on Team Rocket and sabotage the operation. Standing by him to the end was his trusted Lucario that he owned as a child he named Lucas, together they freed Celebi from it's chains that binded it causing the portal to closed and ask it to use its remaining power to go back in time and stop Emiko and her team from killing the boy that cause Team Rocket hated for so long.
(Emiko accepting Junochi challenge to test his resolve)
Junoichi encountered Emiko outside of Viridian City after stopping two of the elite squadrons, arriving mere seconds before Emiko was going to burn the unsuspecting boy alive with her immensely powerful Blaziken she named Inferno. Junoichi made his case in a 1 vs 1 face off, explaining that the results of changing time would disrupt the balance, he was tired of using his knowledge to harm Pokemon just to get a pay check and most importantly, helping bad people rule the world instead of discover to do good. Emiko however did not understand none of these things, only knowing what she was trained to prepare for and Pokemon were just tools. Junochi disagreed and in a last desperate moment challenge her to battle him and if he won they return back to their own timeline, destroy the lab and hideout and return Celebi to where she belonged and run away together. Emiko accepted on grounds of sudden death, and the fateful battle took place while at the same time the boy battle Giovanni. Lucario and Blaziken exchanged blows, and it was clear Blaziken had the upper hand. It was clearly stronger, the flames that burned from it was nothing Junoichi was prepared to face yet he didn't give up on Lucas. After a one sided beat down, Emiko was clearly going to be the winner. However, a miracle occurred during the battle in which the bond between Junochi and his Lucario activated the "Bond Phenomenon" before the final blow was struck, both theirs eyes glowed a blue hue and suddenly the battle turned around in their favor that led to victory.
Emiko lost, and while she was surprise by his endurance and calm manner, she kept her end of the deal. Celebi returned them back to their original timeline and they both (Mostly Emiko after using a Full Restore) destroyed the research lab that caused a huge explosion that alerted authorities. This was known as the "Goldenrod City Explosion incident" Junoichi left the evidence needed for the Goldrenrod City police to indict everyone involved including himself but left Emiko name out of it. They both returned Celebi to the forest where it was restored and grateful for their help, Junochi apologized to it and hope the order of balance was restored and he understood why Celebi was known as "The Guardian of Time.".

"A Fresh Start"

Junoichi and Emiko, with Junoichi now a "Wanted Fugitive", moved to the Kalos region where he changed his name to Tatsuya and continued his research as a professor with Emiko as his "Assistant". During these travels of discovery Junochi taught Emiko to care for Pokemon instead of using them. To express her feelings more and overall be a girl that was free. It wasn't a easy path, but progress was steadly made as time continued. Eventually, the two develop feelings for each other and Emiko became pregnant and gave birth to a healthy bay boy name Akira Masuda in Lumiose City. However, Junochi didn't feel it was safe if it was discovered his son was related to him, so he used some of the money that he saved up to buy a house with large acres of land in New Bark Town where Emiko can live a quiet life raising their son while he continued his travels to discover lost history. Emiko understood his reasons and only ask to come visit when the time was right. As time went by Akira grew up never seeing his father, however his mother Emiko took up in being a Pokemon breeder while raising Akira with inferno also helping her adjust to her new life and protecting them both. Emiko learned how to love Pokemon, and she surrounded her son with Pokemon she found that were injured or abandon that he constantly played with in the fields since there were not many kids in the small town they lived in, mostly tourists. However, in the back of her mind she knew her son would walk the path she did but with a good heart that she lacked as a child.
"Episode 1 Prolog: Pokemon I choose You!"
Akira reached an age where he decided that it was time to set on his own, while most kids set out at age ten Akira wanted to make sure his mother would be ok if he was gone so waited a few years before deciding on this big step in his life. He wanted to travel the world like his parents did, while unaware of their sins. He wanted to find his father, he wanted to also validate his strength as a trainer and as a Pokemon Breeder. After speaking to his mother, Emiko nodded saying the determination and resolve reminded her of his father and she knew this day would eventually come as she watch him pack his things. Akira smiled and said "I'll make sure to bring him home even if I have to bruise him up a bit." while pounding his chest with his fist which his mother softly chuckled as her son. "Don't hurt him to bad, he's fragile."
