Character Name: Carter McCaskill
Age: 25
Hometown: Goldenrod City
Appearance: A dashing looking young man, Carter McCaskill stands at a fair 5'11". A cold face formed of angled planes is vaguely reminiscent of the stone statues of ancient civilizations. While not overly buff or muscled, he is nonetheless an imposing figure with an arrogant stride and form of moving. He has short, red-brown air and hazel eyes.
Profession: Ex-Trainer - Currently a monk
Specialty: Bug
Pokemon: Heracross (Herakles)
Bio:
Born to a pair of wealthy businessmen in Goldenrod City, the center of commerce in Johto, Carter McCaskill grew up in an extremely competitive environment. From day one he was taught that only the victorious matter. He became a very cold individual, disdaining almost all he came in contact with. His father actively encouraged this, promoting his son's vindictive nature.
Eventually, in his mid-teens, he became a Pokemon trainer. By no means a master, he still managed to make quite an impact in the Johto League, toppling several gym leaders with vicious, merciless attack strategies. This, combined with the semi-celebrity status of his father caused a small media swirl.
After defeating the gym leader of his own hometown, Carter was approached by an elderly man, dressed humbly and with but a pair of Pokeballs at his belt. With a smile, the man requested that Ben have a friendly bout with him. Ben, of course, snorted and prepared to steamroll the man, but was dumbfounded as the man deftly ordered his Pokemon, Carter's all out assaults melting on the man's agile, defensive Pokemon. In short order, Carter had been soundly beaten.
He pursued the monk, accosting him with requests to be taken under his wing; while cold, Carter was indeed respectful of his superiors. The monk agreed to teach him his fighting style, which he called Running Water, but only if Carter could find an inner peace and settle his anger.
He invited Carter to become an initiate of his order, a group of ascetic monks living on the slopes of the mountains of Sinnoh. Carter agreed without hesitation and left behind all but his clothes and a single Pokemon; the first he caught himself, a Heracross.
Years passsed, and the old man finally began to teach Carter the art of Running Water. Only days into the training, however, the man fell ill, and died shortly after, the same day that the letter arrived in the mail. A boiling sea of emotions filling him, Carter decided to follow the letter's instructions, determined to discover his own style of Running Water, and to honor the man's memory.

Name: Ben Surge-Wilde
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Hometown: Vermilion City
Appearance: Ben is an overly-athletic looking teenager, with fairly well developed muscles, and a strong face that naturally grins a bit in the neutral position. His hair is a a blond, messy style that he lets fall naturally to create a sort of disheveled look. He stands about 5'11", and weighs almost 200 lbs. from the muscle he's gained. He wears a green jacket over a blue t-shirt, and baggy green pants.
Profession: Trainer. Ben was attempting to complete the Pokemon League Challenge before he was called away on this urgent trip.
Type Specialty: Fire
Pokemon: Houndour
Bio: Ben grew up in Vermilion City with his mother, who was divorced from her husband shortly before the son was born. From a very young age he took an interest in Pokemon, and his father, the gym leader Lt. Surge, took notice while watching from afar. He approached Ben and demanded that he pick a type: Electric or Fighting, as they were the two most common to Vermilion City. As it happened, Ben chose Electric; his father was extremely pleased, and trained with him most days of the week at the local gym. However, as Ben got older his own opinions began to form, and they grated against his father's, particularly around the subject of family. At around the age of 15 they got into a very heated argument over Ben's mother, his father's ex-wife. In the end, they came to blows according to the other trainers at the gym. No one knows what was said at the end, but Ben left town shortly afterward and went to Pallet Town, where he demanded that Professor Oak give him a Pokemon to use. Although the latest batch of starters were already reserved, Oak happened to have a Houndour recently given to him by his colleague Prof. Elm, and gave it to Ben to use, seeing his love of Pokemon.
With his new companion, Ben set out to conquer the Kanto region. Though he made little progress before being called away, Ben had already established a reputation in the western half of the region for his tenacious, fiery battling style, as he and his Houndour carved a swathe through trainer after trainer, the pair even defeating Brock with ease. However, the other half of his reputation was as a hater of Electric Pokemon, utterly decimating any trainer he saw using one.

Name: Ryan Walker
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Hometown: Mauville City
Appearance: Ryan stands at 6' exactly, and is kind of thin, though he prefers the term 'wiry.' He has short, light brown hair with a vaguely lightning bolt-shaped blond streak on the front-right side. He also has brown eyes, and can almost always be seen with a huge grin on his face. He wears a yellow hooded jacket over a dark grey T-shirt, blue jeans, and brown sandals.
Profession: Trainer
Type Specialty: Electric
Pokemon: Magnemite
Bio: Ryan was born in Mauville, and had a rather normal, though very happy, childhood. When he was 14, Ryan began training with his grandfather, Wattson, at his Gym. Their combined energy and mirth was almost too much for some. When Ryan got the invitation, the first thing he did was burst into laughter. The second thing he did was venture into New Mauville and capture a Magnemite, his reasoning being that the added challenge of using a new Pokemon would make things more fun. Ryan's cheerful attitude and seemingly endless energy will sometimes rub off on people and Pokemon near him. In fact, that energy has brought his Pokemon back from the brink of defeat on more than one occasion.

She has since left Sinnoh to begin training her Purotooga in the Kanto region. She barely got the letter in time before she left to go to Hoenn for a relaxation trip. She has since gathered up everything she could find to help her on this journey (but that wasn?t even much).

Name
avid Martin
Age:17
Gender:Male
Hometown:Cianwood
Appearanceavid is a normal looking boy, 5' 6" and 150 pounds. He is very muscular for his build however, from the intense training he was put through. He has a simple white gi, and a black belt around his waist. He has spiky brown hair that stands straight up without much work from himself. He goes barefoot and has a scar down his right leg.
Profession:Black Belt
Type Specialty:Fighting
Pokemon:Tyrogue
Bioavid grew up in Cianwood with his father Chuck, The local gym leader. His father specialized in fighting type pokemon, and in turn David grew to like them more and more, as he trained with his father day by day learning the different techniques of fighting and training hard to become a black belt, like his father. When David turned seventeen his father finally deemed him a black belt, through extensive training and hard work, and he granted David one pokemon, a Tyrogue. David grew to love the Tyrogue and it's fighting spirit, and they began training together for a few days, until David got a letter in the mail, asking him to go off to a new region. He called to his Tyrogue, which was punching a wall at the time, and hurried off toward his fathers house. Chuck felt like this was great news, and wished him all the best to his new training in a foreign area. David felt giddy as he waited for the time to come, still training until the day arrived.

And what?s the best place to show them what where made of? The Pokemon league of course.
Oren has been selected to host the first of many World Pokemon Leagues. Trainers from around the world will come to our stadiums (Still under construction) to prove that they are the best. You?re all going to enter the Pokemon League and one of you will become the first World Champion. Now because we have to go by the official rules you all need gym 8 badges to enter. Unfortunately there are only a few in Oren so we had to work around it. In some of the major Cities there will be an official who will give you all badges after you prove yourself worthy.
But before you start worrying about gym badges I have a job for your team. I need you to give a message to Mayor Samson of Willow Village. To get there you will have to travel north along the road and you have to head through the old wildlife preserve. Don?t worry; it?s not a preserve anymore so any Pokemon there you can catch.
By the way Team B is so generic. Why don?t you come up with a cooler name for your team?
