My Pokemon White trainer, Zothiel. Augh, I freaking LOVE this version. I have not enjoyed myself so thoroughly since the release of the original Gold and Silver. I-It's just so much ... FUN! And FAST. Good lord, they really paid attention to the anti-grinding in this one. And animated sprites? An epic storyline that switches things around a little? WIN! Aaaaagh! My life! Or lack thereof because of this game!

Zothiel - I'd never done a trainer involved with Team Rocket before (or any of the "evil" affiliates; Rockets are just the most fun.) Zothiel used to be Team Rocket when he was younger, but he got caught, arrested, and went to live with the monks living near the ruins of Dragon Spiral Tower. After a few years of helping the monks care for their Pokemon, he was given an egg, which hatched into Tybalt. He was later given Osahwott as a farewell present when he graduated from the temple and set out on his own journey. Zothiel looks for unsavory sorts looking to cause trouble, and hopes to someday track down the Rockets who worked alongside him. Zothiel is a fairly quiet, nice guy, but he has a "black" side when he loses his temper. And since he knows martial arts ...

Tybalt the Sawsbuck - My sweeper. And, oh, man, this guy is a death machine, especially since he got his Life Orb. One Swords Dance is all he needs. I've been amazed at the number of times he's been thrown out, gotten thrashed, hit back, and ended the fight completely healed. He knows Return, because I love the idea that his fierce adoration and loyalty for Zothiel will mess you up.

Zodiac the Zoroark - Zoroark is my third favorite Pokemon of all time, of all generations. I just his love his Illusion ability, dammit! I need to breed one that knows Extrasensory, but when I got the Zorua in Castelia, the very first time it was a Timid nature. Perfect Zoroark nature. I was all set to soft reset endlessly, too. Nasty Plot is a decent replacement for Extrasensory, though. Zodiac's past paralell's Zothiel's; he's ex-Team Rocket, but retains some of his more naughty traits from that time. Like stealing other people's Pokemon.

Ki the Mienshao- There's just so much I love about this guy. His Attack is as high as Terrakon's, a legendary Pokemon! He's fast (of course, in my team that's higly relative; Ki is one of my slower members) and can blow the back of anyone's head off with a Hi Jump Kick. That includes the "not very effective" ones, too. I gave him a Wide Lens, since he kept missing and half-killing himself, and with U-Turn and his Regeneration ability he has the capacity to be so deliciously annoying. I might Choice Scarf him later; I haven't decided yet.

Skyarrow the Zebstrika - The fastest member of the group, Skyarrow was named after that incredible bridge before Castelia city. I had such a "WOOO! I LOVE POKEMOOOOOON!" moment crossing it. And come on, Skyarrow is such a perfect name for a Zebstrika! He doesn't hit very hard, but he hits fast, which is sometimes extremely necessary. His Flame Strike served as the bane of plant types before Zodiac got Flamethrower (post-Elite Four), and I just haven't seemed to be able to get rid of it. Leftovers takes care of Wild Charge's recoil AND he can Volt Switch. Another member of the team with a high annoyance capacity, but I may switch his movepool around to play support with Toxic/Swagger.

Daikeni the Samurott - I liked the Japanese name for this guy more than his American one. Daikenki is very much a middler. I mean, even in terms of all Pokemon ever, he's a middler. If I didn't like his design so much I'd replace him, but look at him. He's a sea lion with a helmet and armor! I think I might try making him support, with Aqua Jet for some speed. Of all the Water starters ever, this guy is definitely my favorite.

Lethal the Terrakion - Lethal is just that, especially if he Swords Dances on you. He can rock the Life Orb pretty well, but he's pretty deadly with a Choice Band, too. He's comparatively fast (5th place in the team, ahead of Samurott) and has the best Defense and Special Defense on the team. I loved his design from the moment I saw him, so I'm really glad he has the stats to back it up.

You can note me with your friend code and a time if you want to battle me. I'm really not that good, and my team has a crippling weakness to Fighting types. I built it on the premise that they'd hit hard and hit fast, because they can't endure a long battle. (I'd like to see how well they do against walling, though.) I can't wait for Pokemon Grey, because I want to build another team. Wheee for Pokemon!
