Before you ask; no, I haven't played Pokémon that much x3; I am not overly familiar with the series, gaming or anime-wise, but I would love to get more into it eventually, but I admittedly have no idea where to start!

Anywho though, I just wanted to design a Pokémon trainer, mainly based on my personality and favourite Pokémon, not so much in terms of abilities and such since I'm pretty much a complete novice when it comes to actually battling x3;

Elowen Bio:

Name: Elowen Nymere
Nickname: Elwen
Age: 21
Place of Birth/Date of Birth: Snowpoint City, Sinnoh/17th August

Personality:

Elowen is a Healer—not just in battle, but in spirit. She listens with her whole heart, offering quiet strength and emotional sanctuary to Pokémon and people alike. Her presence is gentle, graceful, and compassionate.

Elowen's rituals of care, whether it be singing lullabies to calm Taio during storms, brushing Espeon and Skitty’s fur after battles, or practicing aura meditation with Kaiji — are acts of devotion, not duty.

Unlike most trainers, Elowen seeks connection over conquest. She prefers discovering and understanding Pokémon in their natural habitats, treating her team as family. When battles are necessary, she approaches them with empathy and intention, always tending to her Pokémon’s emotional and physical well-being afterward.

Likes:

- Gentle Pokémon with emotional resonance
- Quiet moments of reflection and bonding
- Snowy landscapes, calm forests and rivers
- Quiet libraries and brewing herbal remedies
- Sea glass, spiral shells, and other small keepsakes
- Singing lullabies and aura harmonization rituals

Dislikes:

- Loud crowds and aggressive trainers
- Harsh criticism or emotional insensitivity
- Battles that disregard Pokémon well-being
- Disruption/destruction of sacred spaces

Pokémon Team:

- Kaiji (previously referred to as Riolu, nicknamed Kairo by Elowen)
- Taio (young Riolu)
- Espeon
- Skitty
- Shaymin
- Sylveon

Backstory:

Born in Snowpoint City, where sea meets snow, Elowen grew up surrounded by quiet legends and coastal serenity. Her childhood was steeped in whispered stories, herbal bundles drying by the fire, and long walks along frozen shores with her first Pokémon companions. Often misunderstood for her quiet nature, she found solace in the emotional language of Pokémon.

Her journey began not with ambition, but with a desire to heal. She studied ancient rituals in Canalave’s libraries, learned to read aura patterns, and devoted herself to creating safe spaces for Pokémon to unfold.

One winter, while traveling through a glacial forest, Elowen heard faint cries—not of pain, but of loneliness—echoing from a nearby cave. Inside, she found a trembling red-furred Riolu, its aura flickering erratically with grief and confusion. She didn’t approach with commands, but with presence: leaving warm food, meditating nearby, and placing healing stones as quiet offerings.

Over time, Riolu began to follow her—not out of fear, but trust. Their bond formed through ritual care: brushing fur, shared silence, and aura harmonization. When their connection deepened, Elowen gave the Riolu the nickname of Kairo, that she would forever refer to it as, and tied a piece of sea glass to its neck with a strand of her cloak’s embroidery thread as a symbol of their friendship.

Even after evolving into a Lucario, Kaiji remains by her side, and continues to wear the sea glass pendant.

Whilst out travelling, Kaiji senses the aura of a Pokémon egg and ends up finding a Riolu egg in a nearby cave. As the egg hatches, a tiny Riolu emerges and Elowen's gentle nature comforts him. From then on, Kaiji acts as the Riolu's older brother and Elowen names him Taio. She also made a small spiral shell bracelet for Taio, as a symbol of their bond.

Attire:

- Seafoam green cloak embroidered with waves and her team’s footprints
- Silky white undershirt with pale blue trim, like ocean mist
- Navy skirt with ripple patterns, paired with thick white leggings
- Brown gloves, winter earmuffs, and snow-boots for warmth and trekking through Sinnoh's snow-capped environment

Elowen's Symbol/Emblem: The Spiral Shell - a sacred emblem of healing, protection, and emotional sanctuary.

Kaiji's Bio:

Name: Kaiji (originally referred to as Riolu, nicknamed by Elowen)
Species: Lucario
Gender: Male
Type: Fighting / Steel
Nature: Gentle
Ability: Aura, Inner Focus
Characteristic: Strongly defends those he loves

Story: Found as a frightened little Riolu, Kaiji was rescued and named by Elowen, after he was abandoned by his previous trainer for being 'too weak' in battle. Thanks to Elowen's gentle persuasion and kindness however, Kaiji soon began to trust her and started to follow her wherever she went.

His sea glass pendant, tied with a thread from Elowen’s cloak, was given to him as their bond grew, and he was nicknamed Kaiji, which stuck with him, even as he evolved into a Lucario.

Personality:

Kaiji is the embodiment of quiet strength. He acts as Elowen’s emotional anchor and protector—not through dominance, but through presence. His aura is steady and warm, often used to soothe others rather than intimidate. Though evolved, he retains the sensitivity of his Riolu days, especially around Elowen and his younger teammates.

- Protective but gentle: He watches over Taio like a big brother, guiding him with patience and subtle correction.
- Emotionally attuned: Kaiji can sense shifts in aura and mood, often responding before words are spoken.
- Ritualistic: He participates in Elowen’s healing ceremonies with reverence, often leading aura harmonization circles.
- Quietly jealous: Occasionally feels left out when Elowen dotes on others, but never acts out—he simply draws closer, seeking silent reassurance.

Kaiji is also more than just a battle partner—he’s Elowen’s confidant, her emotional mirror, and her guardian. He helps her navigate the world with grace, offering silent support during difficult moments and grounding her rituals with his calm presence.

- Aura Meditation Partner: Their synchronized aura sessions are sacred, often performed at dawn or under moonlight.
- Battle Companion: When battles are necessary, Kaiji fights with precision and empathy, always protecting his teammates.
- Caretaker: He often assists Elowen in brushing fur, preparing herbal remedies, and calming younger Pokémon.

Likes:

- His role as a big brother: Kaiji enjoys watching over other Pokémon and ensuring their safety and gently encouraging them whenever they make mistakes.
- Aura harmonization at dawn: He loves the stillness of early morning, when Elowen lights her lantern and they meditate in sync. The quiet hum of aura feels like a shared heartbeat.
- Brushing sessions with Elowen: He finds comfort in the rhythmic strokes of her brush, especially when she hums softly. It’s a ritual of trust and care
- Sea glass and smooth stones: Kaiji collects small, polished objects that remind him of Elowen’s gentleness. He often places them in her keepsake pouch as silent offerings.
- Taio’s laughter: Though he rarely laughs himself, Kaiji is deeply soothed by Taio’s joy. It reminds him that protection can lead to playfulness.
- Herbal steam rituals: Participating in Elowen’s healing ceremonies, especially when she prepares warm herbal steam, makes him feel purposeful and serene.

Dislikes:

- Raised voices or harsh commands: Loudness unsettles him, especially when directed at Pokémon. He prefers communication through aura and gesture.
- Battles without empathy: He dislikes trainers who treat battles as domination rather than connection. He fights only when necessary, and always with restraint.
- Being excluded from rituals: Though he rarely asks for attention, Kaiji feels quietly hurt if Elowen forgets to include him in a ceremony or moment of bonding.
- Cold, clinical environments: Sterile Pokémon Centers or labs make him uneasy. He prefers natural healing spaces filled with warmth and scent.
- Disruption of sacred spaces: He’s protective of Elowen’s ritual areas—like her aura circle or memory sketchbook—and dislikes when others intrude without understanding.
- Feeling misunderstood: Kaiji’s quiet nature is sometimes mistaken for aloofness. He dislikes when others assume he’s emotionless or distant
