Name: Valon Tess
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Trainer Type: Cool Trainer
Hometown: LaRousse City
Appearance:
Standing at 5 feet 10 inches, Valon is taller then other teens his age. He has blonde spiked hair that pulls forwards, like a reverse Sonic the Hedgehog. His eyes are dark blue that reflects the sea close to where his hometown is located, and also has freckles around his somewhat medium sized nose, which is clearly seen. Surprisingly, he really doesn't have any blemishes or pimples, given him being a teen. Valon's ears are medium sized which he uses blue colored hearing aids due to his minor deafness. Valon has lanky arms that are quite muscular and is normally seen wearing black gloves on his hands.
Valons attire consists of a t-shirt covered by a soft, blue, multi colored hoodie with a wide collar. The upper part of his hoodie is mainly dark blue with a black lining on the edge of the sleeves. The area of his jacket where his stomach is, is a bright teal color and the sides under his arm are a bit darker teal. Valon has a zipper in the center of his jacket, alowing him to take it off if needed. The lower half of his body consists of dark blue shorts with light blue on the side where his pockets are. Under his shorts are short black leggings. Valon wears matching blue boots with socks that aren't normally seen by others. Finally, he wears a matching blue belt with black buckles.
Personality: Though he might look tough, Valon is actually quite kind and care free. He loves to meet new people and Pokémon alike no matter how big or small. When talked to, Valon will need to be close enough to be able to understand what the other person is saying or be able to read their lips because of his hearing loss, though, he is able to speak nearly clearly. He will also treat their Pokémon very kindly, which Valon loves Pokémon a lot. Valon will even cook if need be. He loves to help ohers, which can be taken advantage of. This "helping" can lead Valon in sticky situations, which are hard to get out of.
In battle, Valon will use type advantages and weakness to win against his opponent. If he is at an disadvantage, he will use status conditions or lowering his opponents stats to help put the match in his favor. He then will attack the opposing pokemon while they aren't able to attack or do much damage. Though he chooses to battle honorably to win, he is known to push as hard as he can, which can affect how his Pokémon feel about him. If Valon loses, he may seem sad at first, but won't give up his dream. He will happily congratulate his opponent and know that he will need to train more incase he meets them in the future. Valon loves making a rival since it gives him a goal to get better at training and eventually beat them. Deep down, he just wants to prove himself.
History: Valon was the eldest brother of two and was born in LaRousse City as the first born son of Anya and Ronan. As a baby, Valon was around Pokémon a lot, in fact his parents caught quite a few when they were growing up, so they knew one day Valon would follow in their footsteps and become a trainer too. His parents currently had a job working at a pastry shop in the shopping mall and at this time, Valon would be babysat since he was to young to go out alone. Close to his first birthday, Valon started to take his first baby steps, and his parents often took him on walks around town to practice and eventually got him used to the moving sidewalks to get around town quicker. This made him very curious of all the stuff around him. At age 9 his parents realized he was old enough and introduced him to the futuristic robots that patrol the city and was given an ID to allow him to walk freely and shop around the city, but shortly after, his parents gave birth to his baby brother Tobias. As Valon and his brother grew, Tobias would mess with Valon, which greatly upset him but Valon really didn't show it. Then, a new problem arised.
They eventually realized Valon was really sick. His parents had to then take him to the hospital. Valon eventually got better after about three weeks, but also found out he had gotten almost complete hearing loss because of an ear infection he got while he was sick. The hospital had an idea to make hearing aids that can adjust his hearing, but it would take a while to be made. During this time, Valon had to learn lip reading and also take a sign language class. The next few years were hard, having to adjust to his hearing 'loss. He was afraid of being made fun of because of this, but was determined to do his best to survive. Once in school, Valon had quite a few friends and loved to write in his journal. He also took a class that could help him with his deafness and communicating with others. After a few months passed, Valon suddenly sensed a gross smell coming from somewhere in his school building. He followed the smell, leading him to a room on the other side of the building with animals in cages. "Why could I smell this from across the building?" He thought. Just then, Valon remembered a book he was reading in sign language class. The book said that once you lose one human sense, other senses are enhanced. He then knew he could use this to his advantage.
About a year later, his parents were contacted by the doctors that they finally made a special hearing aid for Valon, which excited him greatly. Once they reported to the hospital, Valon explained his enhanced senses to the doctors. Already knowing this would happen, they hooked up two blue colored hearing aids on his Valon's ears. They also explained that he can change if he wants to hear or not and that when he switches his hearing aid off, he can then use his other senses more.
At age 15, Valon took a job helping his parents at the pastry shop and quite often was in charge of deliveries to nearby towns when off of school. When he was at school, Valon participated in several activities to keep him occupied. If not in school or work, he loves to challenge Tobias to video games or help with chores. Laundry was Valon's favorite chores. On Valon's 16th birthday, his parents had a surprise for him. They took him and Tobias to Professor Oaks lab so he can be a Pokémon trainer. It was then he felt grown up and ready to challenge the world.
