So, I just typed a very very very long page. And my fire fox errored, closed, and it was all deleted. Very frustrated right now, lol. I'll do my best to try and retype all that was there.
So I almost went ahead and just winged a wikipage, I've never made one before so this will be interesting experience. But I realized I have so many questions about my character and I'm very concerned others might consider it "marysue". So I figured I'd give you all the big rough idea of her background and the mini stories behind each of her party pokemon. So I'll appreciate all feed back and advice about my character and her team! I don't want to change a whole lot about her so if the whole concept is still pretty silly to everyone I'll scrap it and make a brand new character to mold. c:
Ashi J aka "AJ" is from a small farm/ranch near Ecruteak City in the Johto Region. Her parents both raise pokemon on the farm. Her father takes care of all the live stock being mostly made up of Mareep/Flaaffy, Miltank, and Tauros. Her father also helps breeds and train Growlithe for the officers around Goldenrod and Ecruteak City. Her mother is more inclined to the avian pokemon and raises Hoothoot, Pidgey, and Spearow. When AJ catches more pokemon they more than likely will be sent back to the parent's farm and they will personally look over them while their daughter it out on her journey.
[Pic] AJ didn't leave on a pokemon journey when she was 10 years old, instead she stayed home with her parents to help look over and take care of the farm. Since she didn't leave her parents gave her a present, a pokemon egg, for her 10th birthday. When the egg hatched she received her very first pokemon, a Mareep, bred right there on their own farm from her father's star Ampharos. So over the years AJ and Mareep have always been together, they were partners from the hatching. When AJ turned 16 years old her parents offered the idea that maybe AJ should take over the farm whenever they had to step down, in agreement AJ and her parents decided it was for the best if she got some more experience of the real world. So after her 16th birthday AJ left on her journey.
When AJ leaves for her journey, she has three starting pokemon. Mareep her partner pokemon, Growlithe her parent's security pokemon, and Tauros that AJ has been close to since she was small.
[Pic] Mareep I've already explained a bit on, so I don't need much more to touch on there unless questions are asked.
Growlithe was a pokemon Ashi was reluctant to take with her since she didn't capture or train the pokemon herself, but with her urging parents she gave in and took him to be apart of her team. Still working on a picture for Growlithe.
[Pic] Tauros is a pokemon who is rather stubborn and ornery with most people, her father especially had troubles with this particular pokemon. But whenever AJ as a little toddler would sneak out of her parents sight into the livestock pens this towering Tauros would follow her everywhere and stomp at anything that came near, even her own parents! AJ growing up with the Tauros has always given him special treatment even though he wasn't her personal pokemon. When AJ was leaving the Tauros had a fit, charging and head butting the fences in attempts to follow her, her father managed to catch up with AJ and asked her if she would like to take Tauros with her on her journey since they were so close. He was a bit like her guardian pokemon after all, AJ happily agreed to take Tauros off her father's hands. Still need to finish a picture of Tauros.
AJ's story pokemon team consists of... Mareep, Growlithe, Tauros, Wooper/Quagsire, Cubone, and the one I'm worried about marysue'ish Shiny Trapinch.
During the first week of her journey AJ catches her very first pokemon. A small Wooper. In the picture on the description is more of a little mini story as to how she captured the rambunctious Wooper. [Pic]
[Pic] Cubone, this pokemon would be caught a little later onto her journey. AJ and Mareep stumble upon a scene where a couple of Murkrow are teasing a this little Cubone. They had taken her bone club and kept flying just over head passing it back and forth each other as the little Cubone beneath ran in circles crying. Finally she trips into the dirt and just cries. AJ now in a bit of a huff orders Mareep to shock the Murkrow to give them a good scare. They go flying off dropping the bone club. AJ walks over picking up the club and offers to the teary eyed Cubone. Hesitantly Cubone takes it hugging it against her as AJ smiles and pats the skull head wishing her well before getting up and heading back to the path with Mareep. For some time after Cubone follows AJ around and some sort of trouble happens [Haven't thought of a good enough climax yet - Needs more brain storming] and AJ allows Cubone to join her team out of friendship.
And lastly, the one I'm most concerned about, Shiny Trapinch
[Pic]. After AJ and her team travel around a bit, they come to rocky desert terrain. In the town below AJ heard all sorts of stories of trainers finding hidden treasures in the desert sands. The desert was a difficult thing to brave but the treasures you find are priceless. AJ's interest was peeked and she wanted to see if she could find something to send back home. High with arrogance she headed off into the heated desert, hours of walking she couldn't find a thing... Suddenly a sand storm was kicked about and AJ was caught in the middle of it. Desperate to find a way out of the thrashing sands she found a small cave to huddle into. There she fell asleep waiting for the storm to pass. She woke up early morning, the sands had stopped. But just a ways out from the distance she saw something glinting from the sand. In excitement she pushed out from the little cave and brushed away the sand from the green thing hiding in the sand. Next this she knows is pain, whatever had been there had just chomped onto her hand. Jumping up and dancing around with the thing still attached she finally managed to pull off the creature, holding it out from her it wriggled, never had she seen a pokemon like this before. It was a Trapinch, though AJ at the time had no idea it was an alternate discoloration since she had never seen one before. It wriggled and squeaked at her happily as if it were trying to say hell o with their monster jaws. Frustrated AJ sets the Trapinch down and scoots it along to scurry off where ever it had come from so she could continue to look for treasure. So on she went looking into the nooks and crannies of the desert rocky walls for any signs of trinkets. Finally she was at her brink as she heard the shuffling behind her, the little Trapinch following her through the desert no matter how many times she told him to get. Being to distracted AJ stepped into loose sand that immediately sucked in her leg and continued to pull down. AJ panicked and fought against which only made things worse. The Trapinch behind her squeaked in alarm and crawled down biting the back of her jacket and using sand attack to kick the sand back for more traction and pulling out AJ successfully. AJ in awe starred at the happy go lucky little pokemon that frolicked in the sand. AJ then challenged it to battle with her Wooper and successfully won the battle by a bit and captured the Trapinch. It's not until later when she has Trapinch lead her out of the desert, [After finding no other treasures :c], that she is told she has a very special Trapinch because he is a shiny discoloration. Was originally going to do some mini-comics with this story so still working on art of Trapinch.
So this is just the rough concepts and ideas I have going for me, any advice or concerns you might see? I'd really like someone to bounce ideas with and help me brain storm. c: Sorry in advance for posting a semi-novel, didn't realize it was this long!
