Name: Kumori Matsudai
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Trainer Type: Hopeful Scientist/Trainer
Hometown: Saffron City
Appearance:
Kumori is an average height and thin individual with somewhat pale skin. Due to spending most of his time as of late in doors. Having grown up in Saffron City he has a very peculiar fashion sense, he wears button up shirts (preferring white or black) which he never tucks in alone with loose fitting black jeans. He has also had some red streaks dyed into his long black hair, which he allows to hang free, the streaks match the color of the contacts he almost always wears to change the color of his naturally grey eyes.
As for accessories he wears a silver ring on each hand which he bought from a merchant in Saffron who claimed the red gems in each were fragments of damaged fire stones, making decoration their only use. Around his neck he wears a metal dog tag with metagross imprinted on it as well as a large black choker with two buckles. Finally he wears black tennis shoes that have a Red Gyarados along the sides.
Although, for colder or wetter conditions he has a grey jacket with a Zweilous in the center that comes together when the jacket is zipped up.
Personality:
Kumori is almost always a confident and cheerful person. He will accept any challenges that come his way, although his rather analytical nature will give him the ability to see when something is a completely lost cause and to just give in for now and try again later.
He stays calm and collected under intense pressure, using his quick wits to try and decide the best courses of action. He is not someone easy to shake up, he believes everything in life is all a matter of how much will power you have and how driven you are to succeed in your goals.
He has never been one to avoid problems or disguise them with humor or anger, instead he is generally very open about his issues to those that he is friends with and actively seeks advice.
He has always enjoyed studying Pokemon in all possible formats, to him the wonders of Pokemon are endless and he strives to discover as many as he possibly can. Although, he cannot stand to see the use of unethical and cruel practices simply to attempt to learn more about Pokemon.
Some of his strengths also open up the path for some weaknesses, by nature he wants at least a few moments to think on a situation before reacting. If not given this time he is quick to make hasty and brash decisions that usually end poorly, or simply not making a decision at all before it's too late. Which is one of the things that has prevented him from attempting to become a trainer in the past, feeling that the heat and intensity of battle may be too fast paced for him to make accurate decisions on.
History:
Kumori grew up in Saffron City, living under the shadow of the Silph Co. building as the only child of his parents. This sparked a dream for him as a child, he wanted to become a scientist and develop products for Tamers and Pokemon alike. So to that end he spent his childhood studying as much about Pokemon as he could, determined that extensive knowledge of Pokemon would be a necessity to create new products for them.
As he grew older, he began to see how generalized his dream was. This realization hit him hard after he got a part time job at the local pokemart in Saffron. The tamers that entered would ask him questions about various products, some he could answer and others he had no clue on. He knew now, that in order for his dream to become more than just a dream, he would have to choose what kind of products he intended on trying to develop.
So he asked his dad, Daisuke, for advice. His dad had dabbled with being a pokemon trainer in his youth, but decided the traveling just wasn't for him and instead moved to Saffron to become an officer of the law. His Dad's advice, as always, was insightful to Kumori, "Well the way I see it, we have several different ways for tending to the medical needs of Pokemon, but as for training methods and tools there seems to be very little outside of battling.".
So with that new goal in mind, Kumori began to narrow down his research on pokemon now to instead study more of what effects their growth and strength on a more biological level. When given the chance he would even ask passing trainers in the Pokemart if they did anything special to train their pokemon and what effects it seemed to have on them, growing ever more interested in this field of study.
After a few years of study he seems to have hit a wall. He realizes it's not something he is going to just be able to get over with simple texts and asking other trainers how they do things. He knows he needs to go out and try his own hand at raising and training Pokemon, because nothing will beat first hand experience and documentation. After asking his parents what they thought on the matter, they agreed on one thing and that was he was going to have to try to be a real trainer to get results that real trainers would. He couldn't just wander around and study, he would need to try overcome all the challenges trainers do including acquiring badges and making attempts for the pokemon league.
As much as their advice unsettled Kumori, who always figured he wouldn't make too good of a trainer, he knew they were right. So after getting any matter settled in Saffron City that he needed to, he set off for his journey.
Goals:
His primary goal is to gather enough information on Pokemon and their results after undergoing various training exercises to be able to develop new products and methodologies to open up new possibilities and options for Trainers and their Pokemon.
His secondary goal is to become the best trainer he can, giving this journey his absolute all so he can gather as much accurate data as he possibly can.
